Then, within weeks of his "Tonight" debut, he was being hailed as "one of America's most popular indoor pastimes And never so much as in February 1960, when, making headlines, he emotionally told his thunderstruck audience that he was leaving his show " A man of boundless curiosity and interests, he was charming, gracious and famously sentimental: He could shed tears, as he put it, just from "taking the Coca-Cola bottles back to the A&P " Johnny Carson took over "The Tonight Show" in 1962 Viewers loved this cherubic wiseguy, someone once referred to as "like Peter Pan, if Peter Pan had been written by Mickey Spillane But off the air, as on, he never stopped doing the thing he did best: talk "When I'm talking, I know that I do it well "We're in a bit of a fog," he said Army special services during World War II, he entertained troops in the South Pacific as a standup comedian " were mistaken for "wayside chapel" instead of "water closet But Paar's years on NBC enlivened an otherwise "painfully predictable" TV landscape, wrote The New York Times' Jack Gould in 1962 , contributed to this report Paar almost alone has managed to preserve the possibility of surprise ("I don't care what you think of the colonel," he would chide, "stop using your thumbs when you salute , home as a result of a long illness, said Stephen Wells, Paar's son-in-law Even youngsters sent to bed before Paar came on parroted his jaunty catch phrase, "I kid you not," with which he regularly certified his flow of self-revealing stories It was the night after a skittish NBC executive had judged obscene, and edited out, a story by Paar where the initials "W Former 'Tonight Show' Host Jack Paar Dies Jan 27, 2:29 PM EST Jack Paar, who held the nation's rapt attention as he pioneered late-night talk on "The Tonight Show," then told his viewers farewell when still in his prime, died Tuesday By then Paar had traded in his "Tonight Show" desk for a Friday prime-time hour "Like being chosen as a kamikaze pilot," Paar wrote in "I Kid You Not," a memoir "The only time I'm nervous or scared is when I'm NOT talking," he told The Associated Press in 1997 " â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? Associated Press writers Noreen Gillespie and Pat Eaton-Robb in Hartford, Conn Kennedy, the proud father, gushing, "I don't know anybody who did more, indirectly, to have Jack elected than your own good self " But Paar was a show all by himself, just talking about himself " He could also be volatile, pettish and confounding Then he added puckishly, "I'm as amazed as you are " What he accomplished with the spoken word â€â€? not only his words but those he wooed from fellow raconteurs like Peter Ustinov, Elsa Maxwell, Hans Conreid and Genevieve â€â€? proved irresistible to his audience He was 85 "Mr Allen's show was a variety show; Paar's a talk show "There were a lot of people who knew Jack and loved him Then he began his monologue on a typically cheeky note: "As I was saying, before I was interrupted Paar had taken over the flagging NBC late-night slot in July 1957; Steve Allen had departed some months earlier Paar's circle of guests included leading politicians Viewers came to know daughter Randy as a youngster thanks to Paar's family-oriented tales and globe-spanning "home movies Then, in the U " Soon, everyone was staying up to watch Paar, then talking about his show the next day " A month later, the network managed to lure Paar back Returning on the night of March 7, he was greeted with generous applause as he stepped before the cameras " The talkfest came to an end in 1965 With little fanfare and â€â€? against all odds â€â€? no tears, he signed off with his June 25 show "I haven't got any troubles I can't tell standing up During the 1960 presidential campaign, John F Paar had a prime-time talk show for three more seasons, then retired from television in 1965 " Since the mid-1960s, Paar had kept mostly out of the public eye, engaging in business ventures and indulging his passion for travel "I have been â€â€? forgive me â€â€? I have been a success," Paar could declare three decades later, still exhibiting his blend of modesty and brashness " Wells said Paar was hospitalized after suffering a stroke last year " Born in Canton, Ohio, in 1918, Jack Harold Paar left school at 16 for a job as a radio announcer, and soon found success on various stations as a comic-disc jockey His explanation would have to suffice: that he was tired and ready to do other things Entertainers Paar championed included Jonathan Winters, Bob Newhart, Carol Burnett, Woody Allen and Bill Cosby Paar died at his Greenwich, Conn Kennedy made a triumphant appearance â€â€?
