	Ed Sullivan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The show was broadcast from CBS Studio 50 on Broadway in New York City, which in 1967 was renamed the Ed Sullivan Theater (and is now the home of The Late Show with David Letterman).
		In the 1950s and 1960s, Sullivan was a respected starmaker because of the number of performers that became household names after appearing on the show.
		Sullivan was so upset and angry he refused to do a final show, although he did come back to CBS for several TV specials and a 25th anniversary show in 1973.

		Sullivan took him up on the offer, and in retrospect believed that several advances in the treatment of mental illness could be attributed to the resulting publicity, including the repeal of a Pennsylvania law about the treatment of the mentally ill and the granting of funds for the construction of new psychiatric hospitals.
		Ed Sullivan was regarded as a kingmaker, and performers considered an appearance on his program as a guarantee of stardom.
		Sullivan, however, was not able to host his show in New York City because he was recovering from a near fatal automobile accident.

	Sullivan, Ed (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Ed Sullivan's stiff physical appearance, evident discomfort before the camera, and awkward vocal mannerisms (including the oft-imitated description of his program as a "reeeeeelly big shoe") made him an unlikely candidate to become a television star and national institution.
		Sullivan attempted to keep up with the times, booking rock bands and young comedians, but by the time his show was canceled in 1971 he had been eclipsed in the ratings by "hipper" variety programs like Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In, and the Flip Wilson Show.
		Ed Sullivan remains an important figure in American broadcasting because of his talents as a producer and his willingness to chip away at the entrenched racism that existed in television's first decades.

		Sullivan's show was ideal because there were circus acts for the kids, rock bands for the teens, starts from broadway shows for mom, and comedians for dad.
		Ed himself was always hunched over as if he were doing a Richard Nixon impression....and he was as deadpan and monotone as it gets...but that was a part of his persona and somehow it endeared him greatly to the America of the day.
		Ed took one look at them, was disgusted by their looks, and said, "They're not going on unless they wash and comb their hair." Suddenly, all of them are washing their hair at the nearest sink that they could find.

	The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show
		Clips of The Beatles playing on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964 have become part of American popular culture, to the point that everybody remembers watching that historic first appearance, even if they didn't actually watch it, or weren't even born yet.

	Remembering the Beatles on Ed Sullivan. By Fred Kaplan
		It contains all four Sullivan shows on which the Beatles made live appearances—the three Sundays in a row in February '64 (Feb. 9, 16, and 23) and their return on Sept. 12, 1965—not just the parts with the Beatles but each hourlong program in its entirety, commercials included.
		Ed Sullivan was a one-man cable television system with wrestling, BRAVO and comedy channels, Broadway, Hollywood and C-SPAN, sports and music video.
		Legend has it that, on a trip to England a few months earlier, Ed saw the commotion the Beatles were causing and thought he'd book the lads on his show as a novelty act—until their manager, Brian Epstein, insisted on top billing.
