Jack Paar: Birth and early career
Born in Canton, Ohio, Paar began his broadcasting career in radio, working first in Cleveland, Ohio and later, throughout the Midwest. During World War II, he was part of a special services company that entertained troops in the South Pacific. After the war, Paar tried his hand at acting and comedy, frequently appearing on the Ed Sullivan Show. It was during an impressive stint as a guest host on
Jack Benny's radio show that he caught the attention of NBC officials who eventually offered him his best known role, host of The Tonight Show. Paar was the program's host from 1957 to 1962; after 1959 it was known as
The Jack Paar Show.
