Where To Watch
Can you guess who Ed Sullivan is introducing on his show based on his descriptions?
Try to guess which famous musicians and comedians Ed is talking about.
Ed Sullivan never tried to be the funniest or showiest TV host. In fact, his plain demeaner and monotone delivery were often the butt of good-natured jokes by comedians on his own show!
But his knack for finding up-and-coming talent was unparalleled. He often gave a short introduction to each act, especially if they were just starting out. Can you guess who Ed is describing in these introduction quotes?
-
Ed Sullivan described this band as “really four very well-mannered youngsters.”
-
In one introduction bit, Ed Sullivan announced to the audience, “The chief usher told me out in the lobby somebody lost, and he found, a dollar bill.” Which comedian came up onstage to claim the dollar?
-
Sullivan welcomed a “brilliant young Canadian star” to perform a scene from a Broadway show. Who was it?
-
“Three youngsters from Detroit” is how Sullivan described which Sixties chart toppers?
-
Sullivan introduced this band’s members, saying “these are Cass, John, Michelle and Denny.” Who was it?
-
Which comedian did Sullivan introduce as an “Iowa son”?
-
Sullivan revealed this singer’s life before stardom, noting he “worked in a coal yard and always sang his songs.”
-
“Now, Texas boys, do it!” Sullivan exclaimed to which band?
-
Sullivan played along with this comedian’s act saying, “I want you to tell these people your sad story because despite the fact they’re city slickers, they’ll be most sympathetic.”
-
Who did Sullivan welcome as “the inventor of the twist”?
-
When this group performed on his show, Sullivan commented: “The little fellow in front is incredible.” Which band was it?

Whenever I second guessed myself, I was wrong. That was a good quiz. It's hard to remember Ed Sullivan in the day. But I guess my parents watched it, if it was on Sundays. I thought he was annoying, but the acts his booking agents discovered were incredible. And the interesting thing is, the talent of those particular celebrities only increased! Fun to read some of those old time names. But I do remember the Beatles being on - how fun of Sullivan to think of them as "youngsters." Did we ever??
9/11. I missed 3 & 7
9/11
I missed on #8, The Crickets, and #7, James Brown.
8 of 11, oops. I'm slipping. #4,#7 & #9 got me.
7/11
8/11, darn I thought I'd do better.
I remember that episode when Ed said; "Three youngsters from Detroit..."
I wished I had remembered that.😊
9 out of 11
You got 8 out of 11
Some of these quotes had you a little confused. Geez didn't think I did that bad lol

8/11 I luvved his show!!
11/11 .... smoked this one !
10/11 for this “really big shew”
I wonder if they'll show something I saw back in the 1980s? It was the cast of Yours Mine and Ours. The children from the movie were singing the song? I would like to see it again.
7 out of 11. The 60s band is The Monkees, not the Monkeys. Speaking of The Monkees, I wonder if they were ever on The Ed Sullivan Show. They are my 2nd favorite band (my favorite band is The Beach Boys).
I don't think the were, but Davy was on the same episode as one of The Beatle episodes, with the Oliver! cast
The Monkees never appeared on Sullivan. During the height of their popularity on their two year TV show, they were under contract with NBC while Sullivan was on CBS.
They missed the best one of all, when Ed was talking about a "real fine boy" about whom "We've never had a pleasanter experience on our show. You're thoroughly all right." Those were the last words that Ed said before Elvis left the building!
I agree!

LOL! Yeah, 6 hrs of travel including layovers in airports doesn't qualify for an excuse to miss a test. You're worse than my high school English teacher who had no mercy or patience for excuses at all!
Friday Night Movie Quiz. Action, Adventure, Western.
When you want something done you have to do it yourself. Putting together a group that is capable of doing such things. Someone asks for your help against all odds. You set a plan into action with the best you can find. Men with skills and guile will be needed. The bad guys have reined in this territory for as long as one can remember. Our guys say no longer. Who will prevail. The bad guy leader is not one to be ruffled and he attempts to lay down his law. Takes what he wishes just because he and his gang can. One meets the other in XXX XXXXXXXXXXX XXXXX. Star studded actors cast in this Cinema masterpiece.
Guess it or not this is one to WATCH.
This week for entertainment and fun I offer up some Classical Heavyweights from the past.
