I met Ed on a TWA fight back in 1965 on a plane when I was 10 years old. He was with his wife going to Vegas. Both he and his wife held my 1 year old baby sister. Gave me his autograph and they were both very gracious to us. Great unforgettable memory!

Ed looked like he was in a lot of pain. The way he was sitting and the look in his eyes showed that he was very uncomfortable. When he talked, I could barely hear him and Johnny did most of the talking. At the end, Johnny escorted him to the curtain which proved that Ed did his best to hide the fact that his days were numbered. He was definitely one the biggest icons in television history!

I can honestly say there were not many of Ed Sullivan's shows I ever missed. Later in life I grew to make a friend who was on Sullivan's show about five to eight times. The act was "Bob Lewis and Ginny," A comedy magic act. In their younger days they were a dance act. Bob always loved magic. For years they played Abbott's magic convention in Colon, Michigan... "The magic capitol of the world." There is still a photo on the wall of Bob and Ginny. They were lovely people.

Think of it: a semi-senile old man announces that he's going to appoint a specific gender of a specific race to the Supreme Court, and people accept that as ok. If he'd said, "I'm going to look over the field, consult with other justices, and appoint the most qualified person," he would have been called a racist.

This was about 18 months after Sullivan was cancelled (March 71) this aired Dec 72. Sullivan died 2 yrs later. He was on since 1948. He introduced literally all famous musicians to America that we still revere today, some 50 years later. Thank you Ed. RIP

Ed Sullivan should be in the R&R Hall of Fame -- look at who he had on his show & who gained popularity because of it. Look at who he gave his blessing to and the world then accepted. Look at how many groundbreaking rock, folk & country artists were given time on his highly rated variety show -- the MTV of its time. Look at who were guests on his show -- Elvis, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Doors, The Dave Clark 5, Tom Jones & many others. The European artists no one would have seen if not for Ed. The circus performers the comedians. And when CBS canceled unexpectedly his show finally during the summer there was no send-off. Disgraceful. One of the longest-running variety shows that scored ratings each year & $$$ for CBS. He was stiff but he had character. He had charm. By this appearance on Carson in 1972 Ed Sullivan's Show was already canceled (1948-1971)

I don't know if you meant "stiff" as figuratively or literally. He had an advanced and severe connective tissue disease affecting his spine. I was born in 1961. Even though my family did not speak English, Sunday evenings, my dad would turn on the TV and select the English Radio Canada TV station and all of us, myself and 6 sisters, maman and papa would watch the entire show. I have memories of the little mouse (I adored the mouse)and the Beatles..yes, it is true, I remember that moment. One of my sisters was on the floor by me, crying, pulling on her shoulder length hair and screaming at the top of her lungs. I vaguely remember the Beatles performing on TV. Lol

@@TheAnetmusik- I didn't want to call him what others called him through the years -- old stoneface." But my "stiff" was his presentation, how he stood, how he moved around, spoke -- it wasn't a friendly, loose joyous introduction. When he would smile he would surprise the audience. But, yes, Anetmusik -- I have good memories of Ed's show too when I was growing up and I'm a decade older than you. I saw Elvis on Ed's show, later The Beatles, & the mouse Topo Gigo which was wonderful. I also liked Senior Wences & his bearded head in the box, & the little girl drawn on his hand. Quite original.

Poor Ed Sullivan. I just looked up his wiki article. His wife died abruptly only three months after this, according to the New York Times archives, "from a rupture of the aorta in Mount Sinai Hospital." Ed Sullivan died of cancer on October 13, 1974.😥😔

@@JonathanAllen0379 I had severe scoliosis. From the back view, my spine was shaped like the letter "s" instead of being in a straight line. One curve was at 48 degrees and the other curve was at 52 degrees. My spine was fused from the t3 to the s1 which is most of my spine. I can't bend at my waist at all and I can't flex the middle of my back at all. I have 2 foot long metal rods in my back. The upper one is on the left side of my spine and the lower one is on the right side of my spine.

what I find sad, at least half the US people even know who these two greats are now. Another generation and all the greats of early TV history will be forgotten. I know us baby boomers are taking a beating about being out of thought with reality, but I pity the under 40 people as they will never know the great wonders of life they will never know or understand.

His show had got canceled the year before which he was upset about, he had a lifelong battle with ulcers and died of esophageal cancer about 2yrs after this interview so probably wasn't in the best of spirits an only showed up out of respect for Johnny.

This is just a matter of opinion. More than half of America today wasn't even alive or cannot even remember him. In my opinion American television has only produced a single television show or series that has become legendary, almost mythical. That show was broadcast from New York and it was ' The Ed Sullivan Show'. Almost everyone associated with the show are now gone. It began in 1948 and it ran until 1971, at least 24 seasons. The legendary names and people who appeared on the show is phenomenal. It showcased every type of act from novelty and vaudeville acts, rock acts, popular music, operas, plays,excerpts from television and films,virtually everything. Performers spoke of being on the show with awe almost reverence. Some names that appeared on the show were everything from the Beatles to Elvis Presley, the Rolling Stones, Eleanor Roosevelt, Broadway stars Lunt and Fontanne, Katherine Cornell, Bette Davis, the list goes on and on. Truly legendary, you couldn't even produce a show like that today.

This was more than a year after CBS, to the surprise of many, cancelled The Ed Sullivan Show. Even though it was not a rural show, I have always thought that CBS saw it in the same mindset as the rural shows they canceled that same year. These were shows that did not cater to the younger audience and demographic that CBS had in mind. Sullivan never got over CBS doing that to him, and with the exception of a few cameos on later anniversary specials, Ed never did anything for the network again.
