Than do others. I was only 10, but precocious and very up on TV. I loved Jack Paar, staying up whenever possible to see it. When he left The Tonight Show there was an extended time of searching for a new host. I recall thinking that "The Jerry Lewis Show" seemed like his tryout for "Tonight" (even though on a different network). Anyway my sisters and I laughed uproariously at this show! And I recall reading that NBC wanted Jerry for "Tonight" but they could not come to terms. (I was disappointed with the choice of Carson. Grew to like it eventually, but thought he got boring when he went to LA. Was very happy when Paar got a prime time show. ). Was I this wrong about Jerry's show?
