PROGRAM OF THE WEEK CBS, apparently unable to make a go of its Morning Show as a straight news program, has brought in Jack Paar & Co. to brighten up the morn¬ ing. It wouldn’t seem likely that view¬ ers would be in the mood for comedy between 7 and 9 A.M., but Paar and his troupe have made the show some¬ thing definitely worth waking up to. Paar, the perennial summer replace¬ ment, finally seems to have found a network spot where he can hang out his shingle on a year-round basis. He has probably the toughest job ever faced by a comedian, since he must be funny three hours a day, five days a week. (Only two hours of the three- hour show are seen in each time zone.) He succeeds handsomely. Jack has retained the same group of talented performers that he had on previous CBS shows. Singer Betty Clooney projects an infectious per¬ sonality in her ripostes with Paar. Jose Melis is a highly gifted pianist. As for Pupi Campo, Cuban band¬ leader often referred to as “the poor man’s Desi Arnaz,” he stands alone with his version of jokes more humor¬ ous than the original. And let’s not forget the Bil and Cora Baird Puppets. They’re holdovers from the original Morning Show, and no wonder. Oh yes, there is still a five-minute newscast injected every half-hour, ably reported by Charles Collingwood or Winston Burdett.— R. S. 20
