[The first of Jack Paar's many shows was a witty talk and
variety show which began as a Friday morning replacement
for "Arthur Godfrey Time"; trying to find a more visible
slot for this talented man who was getting popular, CBS
tried a Saturday nights in 1954, and then to a morning
slot temporarily; the final year he was able to get a
weekday afternoon slot five days a week...His music
director was Jose Melis, an old army buddy...]
