The Jack Paar Show is a sitcom that aired on 1947 as the summer replacement for Jack Benny’s show. Benny was actually the one who discovered Paar in 1945, and he also served at Paar’s producer. In fact, before Paar’s show went on-air, he was asked to guest in Benny’s show.
Unfortunately, Paar’s career was short-lived. He adapted the comedic styles of Fred Allen and Jack Benny himself, and this did not go well with the show’s primary sponsor Lucky Strike. He, however, went on to have a successful career in the 1950s and 1960s, thru a program called The Tonight Show. His success actually made one of the most imitated broadcasting personalities.
