The Ed Sullivan Show

The Ed Sullivan Show, amerikansk TV-show som sändes 1948-1971 med Ed Sullivan som programledare. Showen gick varje söndag klockan 20.00 på CBS. Alla möjliga sorters underhållning fick plats i showen: operasångare, rockstjärnor, singer-songwriters, komiker, balettdansare och cirkusshower. Programmet hette från början Toast of the Town, men kallades allmänt The Ed Sullivan Show långt innan det fick namnet officiellt 1955. 

Programmet sändes från CBS-TV Studio 50 i New York som idag heter Ed Sullivan Theater och är platsen där man spelade in The Late Show with David Letterman.

The Beatles första uppträdande i The Ed Sullivan Show, vilket skedde den 9 februari 1964, ses som en milstolpe i den amerikanska popkulturen och starten för den brittiska musikinvasionen i USA.
