My folks never missed Ed Sullivan and I’m old so I got 9 out of 10 on the experts quiz.

10/10
8/10
9/10 missed #7
10/10
9/10 not so hard but showing my age.
9 out of 10! Missed #9. 😁😁😁😁😁
"You got 9 out of 10. Way to go! You must have a great sense of humor, because you nailed it!"
Number 9, Dickie Henderson? That was a tough one, I think Sullivan had him on to appeal
to his audience in other - British Commonwealth - countries. Don't forget in the 1960's many
nations easily had over 60% of their programs from America. Even today they carry much
US content, so your, say, average Aussie is much more familiar with the USA than the
average American is with Australia. The only Aussie show to make it big here then, and around
the world, was Skippy the Bush Kangaroo. Heck I watched it, I was in love with the girl
Clancy, as well as wanting a roo like Skip who could fly a helicopter when Jerry the pilot
passed out over Sydney Harbor.

I got all 10 LOL!!
9/10.
10 of 10. Knew them all except for #9, Dickie Henderson. Sounded somewhat familiar, and I took an educated guess and lucked out. Watching Ed Sullivan, Sundays on METV definitely helped. Ed also starred George Carlin, Joan Rivers and John Byner, just to name a few others.
Next up: can you identify these famous plate-spinners?
Yup, always some sort of corny circus type act in the mix!
With Opus 4, Number 23 The Plate Spinners song playing the background .
Don't Leave out Topo Gigio :)

Sorry millennials!!!!! They don’t use that anymore
10 for 10. Been watching Ed Sullivan since the 50's on our black and white 14" Raytheon TV!
Yep, 8 of 9. Also missed 9.
8 of 9, I missed 9, but otherwise it was a piece of cake.
10 for 10
8/10

Way to go! You must have a great sense of humor, because you nailed it!
