Jack of early late-night tv?

Jack Parr. He was the inventor of the Tonight show, and was it's first host. xxxxxxxxx Actually, it is Jack Paar (2 A's). And, he was not the first host of the Tonight Show. The first host was Steve Allen. xxx Check your facts Jack Paar was the first, and Steve Allen was the second. xxx According to imdb.com, which is not always correct, Steve Allen hosted Tonight! from 1953 to 1957. Jack Paar hosted The Jack Paar Tonight Show from 1957 to 1962. People are often confused by the fact that Allen hosted The Steve Allen Show (a weekly show) from 1956 to 1960, and The New Steve Allen Show (nightly) from 1961-1964. The New Steve Allen Show had a format similar to The Tonight Show, but was a competing show. NBC had him quit Tonight!, a successful show, so he could focus his energy on the weekly show, which competed with Ed Sullivan.
