Jack Parr, but Johnny Carson will always be my favorite. I quit watching The Tonight Show altogether when they gave it to Jay Leno. Leno has never made me laugh on purpose. Carson made me laugh regularly!

Im not old enough to remember actually seeing Jack Parr.

I can barely remember Jack Parr when TV was black and white and all shows and commercials were live only.

I watched Johnny Carson. Jack Paar was before my time. Johnny Carson was great; great as a kind of simple everyman pointing out the craziness of so many things in the world. He and Ed McMahon had some great discussions, such as pigs are smarter than dogs. I was really really upset when Johnny retired and we had to settle for Jay Leno trying to carry on the tradition.

On March 19th, 2009, Barack Obama became the first sitting U.S. president to appear on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. What did you make of this?

I think Sean Hannity looks a lot like Jay Leno. They have similar hairstyles and a similar chin. Sean could pass as his nephew or son. Am I way off base or what?
