The Tonight Show host before Johnny Carson was Jack Parr.
And before that was Steve Allen.
Hey....that's right!!!!!
That's what I thought
Groucho Marx was never the host of The Tonight Show.
That's exactly right, and he wasn't even on the list!
Groucho never hosted the tonight show. Before Carson, it was Jack Parr. Steve Allen was first.
Back then it was a time for hula-hoops, transister radios, flavored straws for your milk, (choc., strawberry, or vanilla), for us girls starched petticoats under Sunday dresses that played havoc on our legs, home perms for little girls, elderly women at church smelling like their favorite dusting powder, station wagons, (cars), Shrinky Dinks, paper dolls, tinker toys, slinkeys, and such. Friday nights was Twilight Zone, Dragnet etc. Saturday mornings with The Lone Ranger, Superman, etc. Saturday nights was Rawhide, Have gun will travel etc.Sunday night was Bonanza (a must). Caption Kangaroo every morning with Mr. Rabbit, Moose, and Mr. Green Jeans and usually Tom Terrific and his mighty dog Manfred. For me.....every afternoon was American Bandstand with Dick Clark...and then Dark Shadows. We grew up learning things like how to cook, sew or mend, quilting, crochet, gardening, and on camping trips...survival tips, what to eat in the woods and what not to eat, fishing, about animals and snakes and such. Our moms made their own jams and jellies, preserves, pickles, relishes, etc. In the woods we ate huckleberries, muskedines, post oak grapes, wild pears, and such. Hickory nuts (hicker nuts) we used in cookies, cake icings, home made candies and fudges and candied sweet potatoes. Popcorn balls, home made taffy, ribbon cane syrup, wild honey, polk salad, oh goodness...so much more. (even skinny dipping at the pond).
We must be related but I have no idea what Polk Salad is. ☺
"Those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end"
not my Mom and not my Grandmother. Grandmother was a politician and teacher, Mom was church some and social orgs. in the country. And we kids at the end of the boomers whenever we could be outside we were. playing softball, building tree houses, ... as a very small girl I was not good at these things but the older kids helped me, never left me behind and when they became teens they still invited me to their parties. I'd dance on their feet.
That's an incredible amount of memories you just gave me. Life was so much better then. I really do miss it.
@@barbarachippel2214 Neither do I but I do know Poke Salad is. From the Pokeweed plant.
60/100. I am a 72 years-old Swiss and I didn't understand all questions about sport and TV shows in the USA. Thank you.
Some are easy, some I don’t remember and didn’t care for sports then and I don’t know now!
Before Carson it was Jack Paar but Groucho introduced Johnny as the new host. These are fun time killers lol.
Thank you. It confused me a bit when they put up the answer.
Being a true boomer loved this
Vietnam war began in 1961 for the USA, French were fighting from 1946 to 1954 then came the accords. Then Russia started supporting the north Vietnamese and then we started in 1961.
I'm 70 and I had 24 wrong but was surprised on a few that I guessed correctly. ☺
Jack Paar was the host of The Tonight Show before Carson. Where did you come up with Groucho Marx? There was Steve Allen, Jack Paar, Johnny Carson, Jay Leno and Jimmy Fallon in that order. Valley of the Dolls was not even in the top 20 best novels of the 60s, but To Kill a Mockingbird was one of the very best. My parents bought a home in 1955 for $8000, it sold in the late 90s for over $300,000. It overlooks Lake Superior. I missed maybe 10, but not all the correct answers you gave were correct. Marilyn Monroe never actually posed nude for Playboy though her picture was on the cover of the first issue.
I turned 70 this year and missed most of these.
Good one - 84, certainly a baby boomer.
Number 71, I consider a trick question, but I got it right.
I missed 37, though a few of the questions were only answerable by memory and at my age (nearly 68), what could be expected of me? ;-)
Loved this !!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 more like this please …
I was born in 1950 so I didn’t know many of the answers to 1950s trivia and I’m not a sports fan so…..
Whether I know these things or not, I still grew up in the 50's and 60's.....hello.....
I have to APPLAUD YOU. Loved this quiz game…. Very interesting, fun, knowledgeable and at a pace that I could follow. Thank you!
94/100. I will turn71 in August!
66/100 a poor showing for a 69 year old but was handicapped by the quiz being so USA biased with such a large number of questions being unlikely to be known outside USA.
Got 96 out of 100
Show Off !!! 😂😂😂
Show off
It was fuuun 65% for me lol
At 75 I scored 75/100. Wasn't a sports nut back in the day. I remember Jack Parr before Johnny. Definitely scored well on music and amusements. At 16 went to World's Fair. Disney debuted "It's a Small World" there. Thanks for the memory.
75/100 Had a great time in the 60s. Easy to remember them.

Thank you I scored 68 questions l am 77 y/o

I scored 69
I remember watching the walk on the moon on a black & white tv. I was pretty young. I remember watching Vietnam war news on tv & hippies. I was still too young to really understand much of it.
I always thought Marilyn Monroe was also the first Playboy Centerfold along with posing for the cover.
I remember we got a TV on a rolling cart, a castoff from auntie. We watched Steve Allen, when Mom fell asleep. He used to go on the street sometimes. It was the first look we got of a mainland city. (The Hollywood stuff was too "cutsy" to be true.)
This boomer did pretty good. The grey matter is still alive!!!
This 68 year old Canadian scored 64/100
I am 78 yo and I got 90 of the questions correct. Yeah.
Miss 18 out of 100 don't know if that's good or bad, but it's what I got 😊😮😊

Question 26 about the first actress to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame had NO answer choices.

Well done!

Johnny Carson became host after Jack Paar walked off the show. Steve Aleen was the Orginal host..Groucho Marx show was called "Bet Your Life."
My wife's first husband was in school with Norma Jean Baker.
Johnny Carson took over Who Do You Trust from Groucho
Too much Americana for me. I’m 75 so definitely a baby boomer.
I am pushing 67 only I cannot believe I got 78 out of 100 correct.
I'm almost 73 and I got 78 correct.
Born in 61. I think I got a B- 😊

❗ I'm done , Groucho Marx ? Missed tv dinner year and Joanne Woodward ? up to now hes 🤣
75 out of 100 not bad
Groucho Marx die Not Host the Tonight Show. at all. Jack Paar came before Johnny Carson. Groucho hosted You Bet your Life.
I only got 78 of 100.
85/100😅🎉
My score was 90.
#77 According to Brittanica, "Vietnam War, (1954-75), a protracted conflict that pitted the communist government of North Vietnam and its allies in South Vietnam, known as the Viet Cong, against the government of South Vietnam and its principal ally, the United States. "
Chuck berry
I know them all its to easy I got it all right
I'm 69 yezr
This is mainly for those coming of age in the 1950s, not the 1960s.
Missed 22
Made in America. Made for Americans.
I remember that Im a human not a baby boomer.
Mr. Ed
I never cared about sports as a kid or any other time.
I am a war baby, but got 70 right
#8 is wrong. The Twist didn't appear on the scene until Chubby Checker's cover of the Hank Ballard song was released in 1960.
And #61 asks for the first "contestant." Pretty sure you meant to ask who was the winner.
#34 is Jack Paar. Guys... you have ONE job... one.
100......Are you kidding me?
Remember? These are not for boomer children. I was 3 when eero designed the flight center. I can google it, but I bet 99% can’t actually remember it. Pete sake
Missed three u miss tonight first was a jack Parr
26 wrong.
Jack Parr hosted the Tonight Show before Carson not Marks
Groucho marx did host the Tonight Show before Johnny Carson.
I think he was the announcer but Jack Parr was the host.
Mr ed
Way too long intro.
You mean Michael Obama
There you Americans go again. In question 86 Confusing England with the United Kingdom. Of which there are 4 countries. Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England. Please remember this, as it can cause resentment.
Fidel Castro Trudeau;s father
Too much talking. Not enough quizzing.
Love these quizzes but why do you have so many bloody American questions? You do know that the internet goes all over the world, don’t you? Americans honestly think they are the only ones in the world that matters! They’re not
Well, if this guy is from America ... He would be familiar with American information - Make your own video Miss Thang!
@@virtualwhispers what an incredibly rude and ignorant comment! If you make something that is aimed at only Americans it would be good manners to mention it!
@@jennifermcdonald5432 Your comment was very rude and ignorant in its self - I can't imagine being pissed to find a video that is only angled to Americans - UA-cam is huge. I'm pretty sure you can find videos for your section of the world, instead of bashing a guy for only making an American video! - You come off like you are so entitled
Well said.
@@virtualwhispers Thank you. ☺
why tf cant we answer for our selves thought this was a quiz wtf dude in love with his own creepy voice🤬
69/100 not to bad . I liked this quiz .
