    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.

    Fun fact: William Daniels was nominated for a Tony for this show, but declined the nomination because it was for Best Supporting Actor, and (as anyone who has seen the show can tell you), John Adams is the star.

      One of many absolutely ridiculous rulings by the Tony Awards committee, and a principled act by Daniels, who might have had an easy win competing in a starring role against people who had only played supporting roles. Fellow *1776* cast member Ron Holgate (Richard Henry Lee) won instead.

      Any performer billed below the title of the show in the opening night Playbill is eligible for Featured Actor or Actress. Because every performer in 1776 was listed below the title, including William Daniels, those are the categories they were eligible in. The producers of the show could have submitted a petition for Daniels to be eligible instead as Leading Actor, but they didn’t.

      Not a coincidence in the set.

    The film Director Peter Hunt probably had it easy as 95% of the film cast had already done the show hundreds of times. But then again, HE directed this...the stage production as well 😀. Probably got filmed in 2 weeks.

    The movie though is one of the best historical movies of all time. It is a musical and somewhat of a comedy, but it really tells the story of America so well. William Daniels is John Adams. Ken Howard is Thomas Jefferson.
