The Ed Sullivan Show was released in the year 1948。The Ed Sullivan Show is also called as "Toast of the Town", You're the Top。

Ed Sullivan's show was straight out of old vaudeville; brief acts of every description, from slapstick comedy to operatic arias. At least once, he showed a film, the only known film of Anna Pavlova (doing her Swan Dance). The Muppets' first TV appearance was on Ed Sullivan. Stiff and expressionless, with a peculiar voice and a talent for mispronunciation, Sullivan was at least as recognizable as Cronkite to early 60's viewers.

The Ed Sullivan Show actors and actresses include Abbe Lane, Anne Meara, Della Reese, Jerry Stiller, Patti Page, Pearl Bailey, Roberta Peters, Señor Wences, Victor Borge。
