The Ed Sullivan Show was a television variety program that aired on CBS from 1948-1971. For 23 years it aired every Sunday night and played host to the world's greatest talents. The Ed Sullivan Show is well known for bringing rock n' roll music to the forefront of American culture through acts like Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones. The entertainers each week ranged from comedians like Joan Rivers and Rodney Dangerfield, to Broadway stars Julie Andrews and Richard Burton, to pop singers such as Bobby Darin and Petula Clark. It also frequently featured stars of Motown such as The Supremes, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder and The Jackson 5. The Ed Sullivan Show was one of the only places on American television where such a wide variety of popular culture was showcased and its legacy lives on to this day.

Who's watching this in 2024?

[@oalphacool4433]

Nobody since we are in 2023 still

[@johnmccadden9963]

Not yet

[@riverland22]

This is more entertaining than a lot of magicians these days. We basically know how most of the tricks are done, but this is incredibly clever and he must be super-fit.

Not one word spoken ! Yet funnier than any other comedian out there

[@Nickster_P]

Used to do a skit with a piece of imaginary chewing gum that he would try to get rid of. As you can imagine, it got stuck everywhere and to everything. Unbelievably frustrating but hilarious to watch. He was world class!! 👏👏👏👏👏😃😃😃

[@roberttemple2521]

George Carl was an American, from the United States. George Carl was the best stage clown ever. So gifted with expressions, acrobatics, juggling, music and comedy. He had it all. I am seeing this clip for the first time just now. I'm happy to see this early work of George.

[@john-carl]

You're right! He was from Mineral Ridge, Ohio. He used to visit his mother there when she was still alive. I lived next door (I'm his nephew as he was my dad's brother) and he was always a lot of fun and hilarious when he would visit.

Reminded me of Buster Keaton which is about the same as Chaplin.

Brilliant, Both George and his girl. As fit as any athlete to control his body like that..

[@marcel950]

Super

[@gabchaim8232]

Most remarkable fact is that GC did the same act his entire life. Presumingly there were little changes & additions, nevertheless he basically kept holding on to the same stage-character, doing the same tricks & showing the same jokes. Through the years it became the famous 10-min ritual. Like a one-man religion, which kept the founder alive.

[@limbabwaan2011]

He had a different act, with only a microphone, a piece of imaginary shewing gum and microphone cord too, that he performed later on in his carrier. I find that one even more funny than this one shown here.

[@1aikane]

Spectacular!!

[@tevya017]

Now that's entertainment.

[@notraxxful]

I’m too shocked to laugh. Stunning physical work.

[@streetpixel]

Waow, excellent!

[@eightinches3671]

Freakin' excellent 😅😅

[@JohnJohansen2]

😂 I remember seeing him on tv as I was a kid. Back then we had only one channel and, as I remember, the programs were generally much better.

[@leifvejby8023]

Me too!

[@QuantumMechanic]

This is timeless brilliance. Who needs words?

[@jillkjv3816]

Chaplin would be jealous. 😊👏😉

[@roncaruso931]

Very physical and took many many hours of practice.

[@mldiode]

What was one of the great things about Ed Sullivan is he gave everybody a shot. The golden age of variety shows. Todays TV is crap.

[@larrygrant-hy8sk]

Way back when entertainment mattered

I laughed my ass off. He’s fantastic. I just loved his act

[@antonnym214]

Very talented! His style very much reminds me of the whimsical Ray Bolger, who of course played the scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz.

Yes, well spotted my friend, also Ray Bolger was originally gonna play the Tinman 👍

He must've put in an incredible amount of work to perfect that act.

[@Apple2-ux8uo]

He had a heck of an athlete (basketball player) earlier. You can see it in his body control. Then he became an outstanding nba coach late in life after giving up his performing career. Neat guy.
