Over the course of more than 60 years, "The Tonight Show" has undergone only minor title changes. It aired under the name "Tonight" for several of its early years, as well as "Tonight Starring Jack Paar" and "The Jack Paar Show" due to the runaway popularity of its host, eventually settling permanently on "The Tonight Show" after Carson began his tenure in 1962, albeit with the host's name always included in the title. Beginning with Carson's debut episode, network programmers, advertisers, and the show's announcers would refer to the show by including the name of the host; for example, it is currently announced as "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon". In 1957, the show briefly tried a more news-style format. It has otherwise adhered to the talk show format introduced by Allen and honed further by Paar.
