Ed was an iconic TV host back in the early days of TV. My mother had the TV on every Sun night to watch his show! Appreciate your doing his bio 👍👍

Ed Sullivan always had great guests on his TV show, on one show he had the Beatles on the show, I was 7 yrs old, and this show changed my life, it was the night I became a Big fan of the Beatles, from that time on I couldn't hear music enough, loved the Ed Sullivan Show!

Ed Sullivan is a true legend. There is no one like him. I believe his show was a live show.

A memmory I grasp to is my sister 6yrs older seeing, 'The Beatles" preimere on US TV Sunday night on "The Ed Sullivan Show" on our small Zeneith B&W. Loved seeing The Muppets.

We watched him every Sunday night, when the Beatles appeared on his show, I was abt four, maybe 5.
He had a good show. May he rest in peace.🪽🌺🕊

My parents watched every week. Sometimes I took a break from playing and watched too.
I was a very wee sprout when The Beatles debuted. I can kind of remember it. Mostly I remember the screaming 😱 🤣 RIP Ed 🙏 There will never be another like you.

The Ed Sullivan Show was by far the best variety show ever on TV. I was 13 when the Beatles were on. Nothing was the same after that. RIP Ed.

The Doors lit Eds fire when they sang they couldn’t get much Higher 🔥

Ed Sullivan show is still on MeTV. And my grandparents and great grandparents saw the Ed Sullivan show back in the day.

His show in the 60s was a perfect marriage of amazing music and psychedelic color TV production to a new audience experiencing both things at the same time!

Fun fact: in 1970, there was a show called "Lancelot Link: Secret Chimp" which had an Ed Sullivan parody character called "Ed Simeon" (I don't know how to spell it), who had a voice and phisique inspired by Sullivan

Could watch 15 minutes then it was off to Sunday nite church. Mom knew Matthew Mark Luke John were more important than John Paul George and Ringo.

Whitney Houston's mom was on The Ed Sullivan Show oh I'm talking about Teresa Graves

Love that he allowed black people on his show ❤❤❤❤❤

I'm glad he didn't suffer the classic version of Ankylosing Spondylitis some people get to. Pretty stoved up though. Smoking didn't help put it in remission him.
