CBS' Sunday night institution of 1948 - 1971, columnist Ed Sullivan presented a variety show in more ways than one, with acts that included ballet, comics and comedians, musical and dramatic scenes from Broadway, rock & roll, performing animals, acrobats, and the list goes on. In spite of his quirky diction and awkward gestures, Sullivan himself became a celebrity. With the thousands of acts broadcast over its twenty-three years, ED SULLIVAN will always be best remembered as the show that introduced The Beatles to American viewers.
The Three Stooges perform "Niagara Falls." Other performers include singer Della Reese, stand-up by Richard Pryor, a dance number with Juliet Prowse, Vaughn Monroe Orchestra, comedian Jackie Clark, The Kim Sisters, and pantomime by Les Doubles Faces.
Crew: Bob Precht (Producer), Tim Kiley (Director)
