Ed Sullivan

A Really Big Show

About Me

Back in my day, I hosted the popular and successful television variety show called THE ED SULLIVAN SHOW, originally airing in 1948 with the title THE TOAST OF THE TOWN. My show was on the air until 1971. I, along with the entire United States, was able to witness amazing performances from well-known artists, mystic magicians, circus performers, even amazing animal acts!

Today there is a company dedicated to keeping my, as well as my show's, memory alive: SOFA ENTERTAINMENT owns the entire collection of my show and has even created compilations on DVD. Sofa's latest release is "Elvis Presley: The Ed Sullivan Shows" which contains 3 complete, uncut episodes. Check out this and many other items at the store: SOFA ENTERTAINMENT . My show had it all!
