Children's Adventure Shows (Aired July 13, 1947)
Paar began his career in broadcasting as a young radio announcer in Cleveland and throughout the Midwest. During World War II, as part of a special services company that entertained troops in the South Pacific, he honed his talents as a monologist. In the early 1950s as an actor and comedian, he briefly tried his talents in the movies, including an appearance in the 1951 film Love Nest with then relatively unknown actress Marilyn Monroe. Paar made numerous appearances on such programs as The Ed Sullivan Show. An impressive stint as a replacement host on Jack Benny's radio show led to the offer to host the Tonight Show.
