Jack Paar is on NBC 10:15 (alternate join 10:30) to 12 CT, however it
airs on WAVE-TV 10:50-12. This must be a JIP.

What is Not For Hire and how is it so important that they skip the
first part of Paar?

Through much of the 1960s, KVOA-TV Tucson did the same JIP thing
with Paar/Carson, running only the last 45 minutes, 10:15-11 MT,
following a 15-minute newscast.

Don't ask what KVOA did to prime time (I've mentioned it in other threads).

Jack Paar is on NBC 10:15 (alternate join 10:30) to 12 CT, however it
airs on WAVE-TV 10:50-12. This must be a JIP.

What is Not For Hire and how is it so important that they skip the
first part of Paar?

Not for Hire was a single-season (39 episodes, 1959-60) syndicated crime drama, starring Ralph Meeker as a U.S. Army criminal investigator.

It's not just that, but also the 20 minutes of news that also cut into Paar. Maybe the way Paar's show was structured, 10:50 was a convenient, relatively seamless point to JIP? (More so than 10:30?) But wasn't the 105-minute version of Tonight designed so that the first 15 minutes was relatively "expendable?"
 
The first 15 minutes of "The Tonight Show" were so
expendable that when stations started expanding their
11 PM news to 30 minutes, Johnny Carson refused to
do his monologue until the full network was in place,
leaving Ed McMahon and then-bandleader Skitch Henderson
to fill the 11:15-11:30 segment. The first 15 minutes was
eliminated altogether in January 1967.

As for WAVE, I'm wondering if there was a commercial break
on the Paar show just before 10:50 rather than 10:45, which
would have made it feasible to join the show at 10:50. Like
you, I find the starting time a little strange.
