This Week in Television History: March 2020 PART V


March 30, 1962

Jack Paar films his final episode of The Tonight Show. 
Paar had hosted the show since July 1957, six months after Steve Allen stepped down. Paar was known for his emotional outbursts, which included walking off the set of The Tonight Show on February 11, 1960, to protest network censorship of his jokes. The unflappable Johnny Carson took over as host starting in October 1962.

April 3, 1980

To quote the Bicentennial Minute, "And that's the way it was".


Stay Tuned
