Stand up Comedian Mort Sahl Dead at 94
That's so sad, I remember him from years ago. Dang, the old saying about death coming in 3s. Death better leave Betty White alone! She's almost 100.
He went back to the days of Jack Paar, who was the host of the Tonight Show before Johnny Carson.
. . . and Steve Allen before Paar
@FearlessFly I remember Steve Allen and I knew he was the first host of the Tonight Show. I was born in late '57 and Steve left before that. I was very young when Johnny took over. Paar had a more cerebral politically aware show. Johnny was purely entertainment.
