Former Tonight Show legend Jack Parr died Tuesday in Greenwich, Conn. after a long illness. He was 85.
The man blazed a trail for Carson, Letterman, and Leno, putting a mark on television that is still felt today.
His death got me thinking that the job of late night talk-show host has got to be one of the best jobs around. Maybe I can take Letterman’s place when he retires. Or maybe not, as the Peanut Gallery will probably tell me. 🙂
