Ed Sullivan, an iconic figure in American television history, was the host of The Ed Sullivan Show a groundbreaking variety show that aired from 1948 to 1971. Throughout its run, Sullivan became known for showcasing a diverse range of performers and guests, from musicians to comedians, actors, and more. However, like any show host, Sullivan had his preferences and individuals he did not particularly favor, leading to a few notable bans and strained relationships with certain guests.

According to an article from The Vintage News titled "The Ed Sullivan Show: The Banned Celebrities," there were a handful of celebrities who were not welcomed on Sullivan's show. One such individual was Elvis Presley, the King of Rock and Roll, who faced resistance from Sullivan due to his perceived rebellious image and the controversy surrounding his provocative performances. Sullivan eventually invited Presley on his show, leading to one of the most iconic appearances in television history.
Another guest who faced Sullivan's reluctance was Buddy Holly, an influential rock and roll musician. Sullivan had reservations about Holly's band's unconventional appearance, but Holly's undeniable talent and rising popularity ultimately led to him being featured on the show.
Despite these instances of hesitancy and bans, it's important to recognize that Ed Sullivan was known for promoting and showcasing a diverse array of talent, particularly during a time when racial and cultural prejudices were prevalent. He provided a platform for many African-American and international acts, breaking down barriers and contributing to the integration of popular culture.
While Ed Sullivan did have reservations and bans on certain guests, his show played a significant role in shaping the landscape of American entertainment by featuring a wide spectrum of performers and breaking down racial and cultural barriers during a crucial period in history.

The whole premise of this silly video is deceptive. Actually, it was Ed Sullivan who saved Elvis’s career in the very early days, when much public opinion was going against Elvis, yet just before Elvis’s appearance Ed announced to the national audience that he had come to know Elvis, and that he was actually a fine and respectful fellow. And as for poseur and drunkard Morrison, he lied to Sullivan, and no one wants a second meeting with a sleaze who lies to your face.

I would always watch a Chuck Connors western series but this particular Sunday my Mom and Dad and Grandparents came in from dinner and said there was a musical group that was causing a lot of fuss and they were going to be on the on the Ed Sullivan show so they wanted to see what the fuss was about. So we switched channels and they made it through about half a song and told me I could switch back to my Western. They left the room but the channel never changed. I couldn't believe what I just had seen and heard. The Beatles had just altered my life forever and the better. I was mesmerized!

And he had his own reputation to adhere to. Some of the artists he had on his show were notoriously unpredictable - and backstage, created drama. What Sullivan was worried about most - was a lack of control.

@charlesduke1378 7 месяцев назад

I turned this video off after less than a minute. "The Ed Sullivan Show" was NOT a "late-night show." Instead, the show aired for many years on Sunday nights at 8 PM. Secondly, Ed himself was not a "very conservative." Instead, he was quite progressive as it relates to the acts he had on his weekly show. NO OTHER SHOW, at least in the 50s, featured more Black acts and personalities than Sullivan. This probably held true for the 60s too, even when other networks started to catch up featuring Black musical acts. Thirdly, Sullivan DID NOT dislike Elvis Presley. In fact, he called him over after his performance and said to his audience that Elvis was a "fine young man" and shook his hand. These three points were falsely stated on this video within the first minute of this eight-minute video; another case of someone too young to know what he's talking about, doing poor research. I turned it off. Horrible job done by whoever did this.

AND that talking Italian mouse act I ESPECIALLY HATED, being 2nd generation Italian-American. THEN, one night, Ed BROKE INTO A BIG SMILE as he extended his arm, gesturing to the curtain/stage announcing " T H E BEATLES !! " THAT ONE TIME Ed seemed human and maybe not so square. AND, a few years later, with my constant begging, pleading, and a little help from my aunt ( whom I recently learned my dad had a crush on, before he married her sister -- my mother !! ), my dad finally gave in.

That's a country/folk song that's not his style at all, and Bo Diddley was one of the most original artists of that time, or any! His guitar style is known as the "Diddley Beat", and people wanted to hear HIS music, not a song by a white country musician. That's almost as bad as when Richard Nixon asked Johnny Cash to perform a song that Johnny didn't write and would _never_ play in a million years because it's disgusting. Nixon asked the great Johnny Cash to play, "Welfare Cadillac". I hope Johnny told him to eff _all_ the way OFF!

After Elvis’ third appearance on the show, Sullivan stood by Elvis after he performed and said something along the lines of, despite what you may have heard here is a really fine, decent boy. I don’t know if he endorsed him like this on Elvis’ earlier appearances. This third appearance was filmed from the waist up, though, just in case Elvis did any of that pelvic action like he’d done earlier on Sullivan.

One of the factors that contributed to Sullivan not liking some of the artist was men's hair length. People today don't have a clue to this aspect in the gap in the youth culture between and the older establishment. Men in those days were expected to have very short hair, like a hair cut every two weeks and when men grew their hair long it really rubbed the establishment the wrong way a lot. Sad but true, youth these days have so much freedom in this aspect they really don't know how good they got it, they take their freedom of physical self expression for granted. I remember getting expelled from high school more than once in 1968 because my hair just barely touched my ears and collar and it was like this all over the country! They even considered Elvis Presley's hair too long when he first started out!

They wanted to do, "Lets Spend the Night Together". Ed made them change it to, "Lets Spend some Time Together". The Stones sang it that way but had an expression on their faces that they were not pleased with it.

In this case the Stones complied with Ed's demand and changed the lyrics.

Not at all. Remember this was an entirely different time. There were 3 networks - no cable, no streaming, nothing else. If you wanted to see musicians playing "live" there weren't many other options, especially if you didn't live in a huge city. Sullivan was an excellent producer and his show was by far the best variety show on the air. He had half a dozen different acts on each show, varying from puppetry to comedy skits to plate spinning to acrobats to tap dancing to every kind of music. He briefly introduced each act, usually chatted with them briefly afterwards, but otherwise let the talent have the spotlight. And his so-called "conservatism" was no different from what the vast majority of educated white males his age believed. He could have just refused to have these rock'n'rollers on his show at all, but instead he gave them nationwide publicity worth millions to their career, which they couldn't have gotten any other way. So he may not have liked the music, but he knew that it was going to bring in the viewers, and boy did it.

Now Bo Diddley being called " boy" was definitely wrong, but in that time trying to hire a lawyer and sue would most likely be difficult for him. As for Jim Morrison you don't promise to do it the way the boss said then when you are on the air "double cross" Ed.
