The second half of the May 27, 1958 edition of Johnny Carson's daytime quiz show [soon to be retitled "WHO DO YOU TRUST?" that July], sponsored by General Foods {Jell-O - who, ironically, also sponsored Carson's unsuccessful 1955-'56 CBS prime-time variety show}. Yes, as early as 1958, Johnny was "subbing" for Jack Paar on his late-night NBC show [13:48], never dreaming HE would eventually replace Jack in October 1962.
And we complain about too many TV ads!!!
I came up with a date of April 15, 1958 based on the westerns advertised at the end.
Its ironic that they made an announcement that Johnny would be guesting on 'The Jack Paar Show.' ;)
