Jack Paar started this "institution" and in my view was probably funnier ("I kid you not!"), but he got fed up with the game after a short time and johnny took over the spot.
No, actually Steve Allen is regarded as the starter of the institution, he was replaced by Ernie Kovacs who was replaced by Jack Paar in 1957, in 1962, Carson took over and hosted the show until being replaced by Leno in 1992. Conan O'Brien will take over the show in 2009. I cant imagine you saw alot of Jack Paars shows cecilia, you arent that old, and comparing his five year run to Carsons 30 year run is really apples and oranges.
