Many forget or are too young to know that Steve Allen and Jack Paar preceded Johnny Carson on the Tonight Show. All the best episodes of Paar featured Jonathan Winters improvisations. Paar let him do anything he wanted as displayed in this clip and he never failed to entertain. These episodes were priceless. Carson had the good sense to continue JW’s appearances.

This dance, to this song, was so hightly regarded, New York City Ballet did a live version of it. They still do it, in repertory. Playing the film clip first. Then various dancers doing their own version, choreographed by Jerome Robbins. Morton Gould wrote the music, based on the Kern melody. Robbins asked Astaire for his approval, and Astaire said he'd be honored. (Hayworth was, by that time, no longer around to be asked, and of course, neither was Jerome Kern).

Paar's mind moves at the rate of a biplane, while Jonathan's races like a rocket.
