A short-lived change of format for the talk show "Tonight Starring Steve Allen". The co-hosts Steve Allen and Ernie Kovacs were dismissed, and the series changed into a news show. Jack Lescoulie and Al "Jazzbo" Collins served as the new hosts, while Hy Gardner conducted the interviews. The news show suffered from low ratings, and several NBC affiliates dropped the show. NBC then changed the format back into a talk show, under the title "Tonight Starring Jack Paar".
First episode of the series, lost.
Jack Lescoulie interviews all five Marx Brothers: Groucho, Harpo, Chico, Zeppo and Gummo when they reunite for Chico’s opening at the “Fifth Season” play.
