TV Grab Bag Trivia Questions
31. Who presided over the first "Tonight Show"?

From Quiz A Boomers' General TV Trivia II

Answer: Steve Allen

The late Steve Allen was probably the most talented fellow to ever grace the small screen. This man was: a composer, an author, a top flight funnyman, a playwright, an actor who wrote scores of books, hundreds of songs, had at least five TV shows, all critically acclaimed and/or funny as the blazes and he was well-loved by every one of his colleagues and his legions of fans in at least three fields! Nobody has equaled his oeuvre yet in the entertainment business and he is sorely missed. His widow, Jayne Meadows, sister of Audrey Meadows, of "Honeymooner" fame, is no small talent herself! Jerry Lester presided over a sort of "Tonight Show" predecessor, called "Broadway Open House". Jack Paar was the emotional, somewhat elitist successor to Allen, and you all know Johnny....
