Jack Paar, a pioneer in late night television, brought conversation, comedy, and wit to millions of Americans who tuned in nightly to watch Jack, jis celebrated guests, and their antics. This exciting, two-hour documentary takes the viewer on a journey through the life and career of this TV originator; from his early days in radio, in the army, to his pre-Tonight Show years in Hollywood, through the golden era of the late 1950's and '60's when television was live and unrehearsed. Includes rare, vintage television clips with Judy Garland, John F. Kennedy, and Jonathan Winters, the comedy of Paar guests Bill Cosby, Godfrey Cambridge, and Woody Allen, as well as many insights, provocative and original segments, including Paar's famous walk-off incident from The Tonight Show following being censored (and the disc includes the audio clip of the "W.C." story that caused the incident).
