 Jack Paar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An impressive stint as a guest host on Jack Benny's radio show caught the attention of NBC officials, who eventually offered him his best known role as host of The Tonight Show.
Paar made it clear that he was not planning to continue with the Tonight Show because, as a TV Guide item put it, he was "bone tired" of the grind, and he signed off for the last time on March 29, 1962.
Paar's show had a world view, debuting acts from around the globe and showing films from exotic locations; most of the films were made on travels made by guests such as Arthur Godfrey or Paar himself (e.g., with Albert Schweitzer at his compound in Gabon, West Africa).

They have three kids: the shy and retiring adolescent Violet, who can turn invisible and generate force fields to make others keep their distance; young Dash, who is super-fast, optimistic and given to mischief; and baby Jack Jack, whose powers are yet to be discovered.
Working at a dead-end, soul-crushing job in the insurance industry, Bob is feeling the strain of having enormous potential and no way to express it.
