Remember Me?

If you’re one of themillions of fans oftoday’s numeroustelevision talentshows, tip your hat toa pioneer in theindustry, Ed Sullivan.Sullivan hosted “TheEd Sullivan Show” fornearly 23 years, from1948 to 1971.

Sullivan’s showappealed to a broadaudience and multiplegenerations. Mostepisodes includedpuppets, pop stars, avaudeville act,comedians andsomeone fromthe theater.

Sullivan wasknown for booking“breakthrough” actsof would-besuperstars such asElvis Presley and,perhaps most notably,The Beatles.

The 1961Broadway musical“Bye Bye Birdie”paid tribute toSullivan and hisshow in the song“Hymn to SundayEvening.” When theplay became a film,Sullivan made anappearance in themovie, playinghimself.
