Backstage With Jack Paar…’Tonight’, December 7, 1958

This rare treat is in the form of a “New York Times” article by John Shanley gives us a look behind the scenes of ‘Tonight’ when Jack Paar was the host. That I know of, there is no online kene footage of Paar hosting the show from The Hudson Theater, and there are very few photos from the Hudson years.

On January 12, 1959, the show began being videotaped for playback the same day. In January of 1960, the show moved from The Hudson to NBC Studio 6B and color broadcasts began September 19, 1960. Thanks to Paul Jacobs for the article.
