Who is "Dunning" that referred to Paar as a "spoiled kid" as mentioned in this article?

The edits by User:Danny were, for the most part, not sound; I replaced the parts of the article that he moved around and revised it more generally to give the article's text a better flow from the version previous to Danny's edits, although I did leave in what Danny added about Paar's triple heart bypass surgery. I deleted the section header "Return after leaving show" and moved the content from that section into a more appropriate place at the end of "Highly emotional."
In addition, I wikilinked a few terms, added and corrected some crucial dates, and added the external link to the Museum of Broadcast Communications site about Paar.
It's my hope that these edits will find favor with the community; please leave any comments about the edits here, and I will gladly respond to them. Telestylo 07:11, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
BIBLIOGRAPHY ERROR
I don't know how to properly edit the bibliography, so I'm just pointing out the error here. Maybe someone can fix it. The first entry in the bibliography is "My Brother was an Only Child." Jack Paar is listed as the author. The book was actually written by Jack Douglas who was a comedy writer and Paar show frequent guest. Paar did write the forward but not the book.

Radio Show was "$64 Question" not "$64,000 Question"
"Paar found loyal listeners nationally as the 1950-51 host of radio's The $64,000 Question on NBC."
There was no radio program called "The $64,000 Question." The show with that name began on TV. It was a new version of the old radio show, "The $64 Question" which was the program Paar emceed on radio in '51-'52. See the linked Wikipedia articles for both the radio and TV shows.
There had never been anything close to a prize of $64,000 on either radio or TV prior to The $64,000 Question's debut on CBS Television in 1955. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.146.71.255 (talk) 10:41, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
Done-- I changed it to $64.
- I also saw a lot of plagiarism in the article, and am attempting to rephrase portions of the text. KeptSouth (talk) 10:39, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
