The Ed Sullivan Show

The Ed Sullivan Show was an American television variety show that ran on CBS from June 20, 1948, to June 6, 1971, and was hosted by New York entertainment columnist Ed Sullivan. The show was originally known as Toast Of The Town in the 1940s and in the 1950s. 

The Ed Sullivan Show was known for introducing and giving a bigger name for acts such as Elvis Presley, The Jackson 5, and more infamously, The Beatles.

It was replaced in September 1971 by the CBS Sunday Night Movie.

In 2002, The Ed Sullivan Show was ranked #15 on TV Guides 50 Greatest TV Shows of All Time.
