Ed Sullivan seemed to have genuine affection for the Beatles.

[@jmad627]

Bruce Lamberton well they were very nice charming people the Beatles were. It's wash to see why. Also i think the fellas really did like and respect Ed as well.

[@BettinaBalser]

He did, and the feeling was mutual. Much to the band's amusement, Ed referred to them often as "youngsters," but they never forgot how Ed treated them during their first exposure to American audiences: with kindness, professionalism, and respect. The Beatles wanted to appear on Ed Sullivan more times than their schedule allowed, unfortunately. I would be remiss not to mention that Brian Epstein's genius served The Beatles well yet again; it was his idea to debut the Beatles on the popular CBS Sunday night show, and because of that, magic happened.

[@sugarjoe50]

Ed always screwed up his intros, he gets the year wrong when the Beatles appeared. It was '64, not '63. He was known to have a few cocktails on occasion. I love how he reads 'stop' from the telegram.

[@myhometown7981]

According to the Paul McCartney and the late Joan Rivers, Ed Sullivan began showing signs of Alzheimer's by the late 1960s. By the time his show was cancelled in 1971, it was quite noticeable. The producers resorted to using a lot of pre-recorded segments after a couple of incidents where live acts finished their performances and when the camera cut to Ed, he would just he standing there like a deer caught in headlights. After the show went off the air, he deteriorated rapidly. Paul McCartney saw Ed at a party and went up to him to say hello. Ed looked at him as if he didn't know him, shook McCartney's hand and said, "Pleased to meet you". Of course, just a few years before, Ed knew all of the Beatles names and could easily identify each one of them. Ed died of esophageal cancer in 1974 at the age of 73. He always seemed so much older.

[@itslikethesamebutdifferent8020]

Technically he’s right. The Beatles did first appear in the US on the 22 of November 1963 in an early morning newscast. However The Beatles very first appearance in the world has to be 1962. With the release of their very first record “Love Me Do” , crowds were already lining up to see them.

[@forastero4ever]

@@itslikethesamebutdifferent8020 the same day that Kennedy was shot?

[@itslikethesamebutdifferent8020]

forastero4ever - yes the same day JFK was killed. Look it up here it’s on youtube. Apparently they showed it early in the morning with the intention of showing it again later at night but obviously didn’t happen cos there was bigger news to cover that evening. Ironically, The Beatles are credited with lifting up the spirits of the US a few months later with their arrival on US shores.

[@njriley55]

it's like the same but different Ed said “We brought the Beatles to our show in 1963.” Wrong! It was Feb. 9, 1964. I was watching and was 8 years old!

John said that he felt so phoney, he certainly hid it well. He said he and the other three guys bought into the Beatles myth.....they were a group with talent and ability but not amazing musicianship.....Paul was probably the most competent all round musician, the others were very average....but it was the combination of the four personalities that made a unique whole. It takes a perfect positive storm for all the elements to fall into place for such a phenomenon.....it will happen again, but I reckon it must be about a one in every 300 to 400 years that you get something so impactful on music, youth culture and society in the way the Beatles did. Who thinks we will never see the like of them again?

Ed Sullivan didn't like The Doors too much. The doors were informed to change the lyrics on Light My fire. The sensors thought "you know we couldn't get much higher" should be changed. Jim sang it just like it was written. One of Ed Sullivan's people went backstage and started screaming at The Doors saying, "you'll never play on the Ed Sullivan show again!" Jim responded by saying, "we have done Ed Sullivan, no need to come back here again!" Jim Morrison was priceless!! In retrospect this may not be exactly what was said, but it's close.
