Nobody can touch Steve Allen, the original, the irreplaceable.

*****************************

"The Tonight Show is an American late-night talk show that has aired on NBC since 1954. Most recently recorded in New York City, it is the longest currently running, regularly scheduled entertainment program in the United States and the third-longest-running show on NBC after Meet the Press and Today. It is the longest-running talk show in television history, surpassing Ireland's The Late Late Show by several years.

The Tonight Show was hosted by Steve Allen (1954–57), Jack Paar (1957–62), Johnny Carson (1962–92), Jay Leno (1992–2009, 2010–14), Conan O'Brien (2009–10), and Jimmy Fallon (2014–present). Several guest hosts also appeared, particularly during the Paar and Carson eras. The current host is former Late Night host and Saturday Night Live cast member Jimmy Fallon. The longest-serving host to date was Johnny Carson, who hosted The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson for 30 seasons from the fall of 1962 through the spring of 1992. The most recent host of the show is Jimmy Fallon, who has hosted the show since February 17, 2014 onwards."

I never saw Steve Allen, or Jack Paar on the Tonight Show, but I have seen both on TV. Both were wonderful.
I kid you not. :)

I would like to know if Jay's ratings went UP the night he had Ted Cruz on. Then I'm wondering if Jay's ratings went DOWN the night after Ted Cruz being on. I couldn't find the ratings for specific show dates but somethin' tells me Leno lost viewership following his attempted hatchet job on Ted Cruz.

America's new health care system and The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.. NEITHER cater to old people anymore. Old people are being marginalized because they know how America is SUPPOSED TO BE.
