...This is going to be wild," smirked Jack Paar before she floated into his Show one day last week, her pink-tipped fingers hiding "my cleavage" from the camera's peeping eye. For the next 85 minutes, Zsa Zsa ("Call me by my first Ja") Gabor turned prophecy into reality. Her seemingly artless and endless prattle displaced planned interviews and sketches (wailed Paar: "At what point tonight did I lose control of this show?"), frustrated the pawky comic, "Charlie Weaver" (Cliff Arquette), by seizing on his every lead-in joke line and running off with it.
