Well, Jack WAS alive and well in 1987. This program aired on NBC-TV on December 19, 1987. I recorded it from WNBC-TV, Channel 4 in New York, including commercials and a tease for the eleven o'clock news. The program consists of black & white kinescope clips from the Tonight Show and Paar's Friday night program, plus a brief appearance by Pat Sajak, and guests Debbie Reynolds and Jackie Mason. One of the b&w clips is a complete routine by Mike Nichols and Elaine May performed on Paar's Friday night program in the mid 1960's. I recorded, on reel-to-reel tape, the audio of that routine from a re-run on July 9, 1965. In this posting, I substituted it for the soundtrack of the kinescope, which was of lesser fidelity than the original.
