I'll say with 100% certainty that I'm the only one in this group who saw a taping of Concentration -- with Hugh Downs. I was probably 7 or 8, and it was my family's first trip to NYC since my parents arrived in this country. Although the main purpose of the trip was to visit relatives, my sister

I've already forgotten his name, but he succeeded Downs as host. I did love this game. This episode reminds me of nothing so much as the night Groucho was a guest panelist on "What's My Line?" and utterly destroyed the program. I saw Borge some time in the 90s, and even though I'd seen every

I am too young for Paar. Grew up with Downs as the face of Today, and occasionally suffered through him on the atrocious 20/20. But I will always remember him most fondly as the MC on Concentration. On Thu, Jul 2, 2020 at 7:34 PM Kevin M. wrote: > I wish there were more clips or even full

I wish there were more clips or even full episodes of Jack Paar’s Tonight Show, featuring Hugh Downs as the sidekick. I found the audio of the infamous episode where Paar walked off after the network censored an innocuous comedy sketch, leaving Downs to fill. https://youtu.be/V3dVEzLIQYQ On
