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.

I am 71, loved the man then and still laugh now. Anyone remember him as Mr Pastry?

[@MrDaiseymay]

OH YES, way back in the 1950's. on TV. I'm here because I saw him in a Old 1953 film on TV the other day, and googled him, He had quite a long career, appearing in films in the 1930's.

[@fred_2021]

A British institution. Humble genius and a jolly good fellow :)

[@junetaylor9795]

I'm 76 now but still remember this never gets old very clever

[@royferguson3909]

my old Dad , is laughing his socks off - I love My Dad stay safe- in these covid times . love from Canterbury U.K.. X.

[@andyhowlett2231]

Oh gosh, how wonderful. I well remember him doing this on The Palladium in the early/mid 60's when I was at school. Nice to see him going down well in the USA!

[@susanwall910]

Brilliant. I remember seeing Mr Pastry in a theatre in Brixon sometime in the 1960s. This so made me smile. Brought back many happy memories.

[@keithcall7795]

Thank you so much for posting. I remember watching him on Ed Sullivan. My mother, who was British, absolutely loved Mr. Pastry. Brought back many great memories.

[@marty590]

Wow...I remember seeing this as a kid!!!

[@jamesgale2147]

First man who ever made me laugh. 64 years later since I was about 4 at the time, he can still make me laugh.

[@lynnewinson2062]

The wonderfully energetic Mr Pastry

[@thomassayers8559]

Ah! Dear Mr Pastry. What a ness he would get into. But what balance he had and timing and flexibility.

[@DerekLyons]

PURE Genius!

[@creativtalentnetwork]

Mr. Pastry does his "Passing Out" ceremony. Brilliant!

[@Bazonthebass]

Incredible agility and poise.

[@janicetailor7171]

I love this he was so funny

[@stephenguppy7882]

This is the best quality clip of this I have seen. Thank you. I also remember the late and great Billy Dainty doing Mr Pastry as a tribute. Brilliant. Bless them both.

[@23715]

When young he was in the same acrobatic troupe as an Archibald Leech (Cary Grant) They remained lifelong friends.

[@richardsmith561]

Loved him !!!

[@monsterfromid66]

Richard Hearne OBE. One of Buster Keaton's favourite comedians. I kid you not. AND he nearly became Dr Who, but when he insisted on playing Who as Mr Pastry (the character above, despite the fact that Ed keeps calling him Richard!) the offer melted away.

[@MrDaiseymay]

True

[@paulasacks4895]

My favourite! I'd love to find a video of the thing he did on the chairs...I think it was the passing out ceremony, but not sure.

[@ebf1957]

A few weeks ago I had a colonoscopy. And for some reason while under sedation I was hearing "The Lancers." And now I can't that out of my mind.

[@pauldockree9915]

Imaginary Friends. Senators and Representatives. Rest In peace Richard Hearne.

[@martinez9756]

Love it!

[@michaelhunt1579]

Like you, Mark Dunetz, I remember this from my childhood. It still makes me laugh out loud. Unlike some reviewers here, though, I believe it stands the test of time extremely well, given that it's a clever parody of the 19th-century dance 'The Lancers'. I've danced the quadrille on several occasions, and there are strong similarities at times! Thank you for posting this clip. Do you perhaps have a date of the broadcast? 1960s, I imagine.

[@stephenguppy7882]

October 13th 1963.

[@philipbrougham6360]

Suprisingly very good ,not quite what l was expecting ..

[@stephenguppy7882]

@@philipbrougham6360 An absolute legend here in the UK. I am pleased that the US audience appreciated this classic slice of English Music Hall (similar to Vaudeville).

[@philipbrougham6360]

@@stephenguppy7882 l remember watching him in the 60,s as a kid,just stumbled across this to see how bad it was ...in fact it is very clever and l have to say funny

[@stephenguppy7882]

@@philipbrougham6360 Yes indeed. It is certainly entertainment from a bygone age, but something three generations of family could sit down and watch together.

[@MorningDove]

I swear I saw a room full of dancers!!!

[@fannycraddock99]

Me too!

[@MrDaiseymay]

Actually, back in the 1950's, he started off with a group doing the Lancer's, that ended up all mixed up and falling about, it was hilarious.

[@colinfarr3523]

Mr. Pastry always looks like Gepetto from Pinocchio. Maybe it was the mustache.

[@jedfrench8215]

Hi Bill Dante gives a good impression of Richard Hearn “Mr pastry”

[@grahambambrook313]

Still working, now as a John Bolton impersonator!!!

[@henryb160]

....but not nearly so funny

[@BAZFANSHOTHITSClassicTunes]

I dont get the appeal, but my late mother loved this performance.

[@Steelpeachandtozer]

The appeal is - you see the other dancers in your imagination and every new dance sequence reinforces the illusion.

[@MrDaiseymay]

I'm sorry for you

[@Grand74Master]

It's John Bolton's new gig!

[@surfaceten510n]

He was under cover in the old days.

[@sailordude2094]

What else was on back then? Wonderful World of Disney, think I'd be watching that instead, lol.

[@peterbedford380]

How good was that how fit he must have been very funny

[@mrguillemot]

Brilliant physical comedy

[@ethanblackhurst8593]

He was only 28 here!

[@Rodentpinkytrotters]

Indeed, but that's pretty good m.p.h. for a 55 year-old.

[@Kw1161]

Just think in a little over a month, Camelot would be over, making acts like obsolete.

[@surfaceten510n]

Old Bolton has done well for himself as a neocon warmonger.

[@pauldockree9915]

Fallen. Bows. Leaves. RIP Richard Hearne. When We Were Young? I tried to be mostly honest. 18 years later Ted Cruz.......John Bolt On and lie.Allegedly.
