Question QUESTION: Name of MC of early "tonight" show. Circa 50's 60's.
ANSWER: I believe you are looking for the name Jack Parr -- but you may be looking for Steve Allen -- both hosted the series before it actauly became retitled as "The Tonight Show" -- you can find more information in a book entitled "The Complete Directory to Primetime Network and Cable Tv Shows" by Tim Brooks and Earle Marsh. I hope this helps.

QUESTION: No. It was aired before Steve Allen. One of the regulars was Jayne Mansfield.
Answer after searching Jayne Mansfield I have discovered she was on the following "Toast of The Town" (2episodes), Steve Allen show (2episodes), This is Your Life ( 2 episodes), and 1 episode of The Tonight Show.Ed Sullivan hosted Toast Of The Town, but it was in 1957 -- 2 years before Steve Allen.
