New Canaan There & Then: Before ‘Johnny,’ There Was ‘Jack’
|
‘New Canaan There & Then’ is sponsored by Brown Harris Stevens Realtors Bettina Hegel, Joanne Santulli and Dawn Sterner.
On Feb. 11, 1960, Jack Paar, America’s first late-night television king and the second host of NBC’s Tonight Show, on the cover of both Life and Time magazines and at the height of his fame and power, did the unthinkable: He quit his job. In tears. And in front of a live studio audience in Studio 6B of the NBC Studios at 30 Rockefeller Plaza, New York.
