My hero, Jack Paar. So open and honest, he made a career out of wearing his heart on his sleeve. And... he invented the talk show. When Steve Allen hosted The Tonight Show, it was musical-variety and comedy. Paar came up with the idea of casual interviews, and the rest is history.

I really enjoyed watching Dave's confidence grow as the years passed until he could totally hold his own with Jack. That last appearance is priceless.

At <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEJIIJsop-Q&t=920">15:20</a>, Jack asks how much time they have. Dave says 3 minutes. Jack launches into a perfect story which lasts exactly <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEJIIJsop-Q&t=168">2:48</a>. Masterful!

Jack Parr was so good.  It's hard to pin point why he was so good.

Jack Paar was the best talk show host ever as you even believed all his bits to camera before he interviewed his guests.

Don’s edits are superb… and the variety of rugs on these old hosts is astounding.

I love watching David Letterman talk shop with other talk show hosts! Actually seeing how he relates to each guest in these compilation videos, I feel like I'm getting to know David himself for the first time watching these!
