The Ed Sullivan Show

[Rob Lister]

Are you old enough to remember the Ed Sullivan Show?

I was 11 when they cancelled it. I miss that show.

Is there a modern version of that show?

[ed]

Remember it well, sadly. Beatles and those street fighting men, Mick and the Rolling Stones. Tough guy changed the lyrics to "lets spend some time together" so as not to offend the main mic, Ed.

[Rob Lister]

Jim Morrison would have none of it.



He later claimed he just forgot.

[Abdul Alhazred]

Yes I remember.

All the great acts of that era.

The Beatles, the Stones, The Doors,

Topo Gigio, [1]



Señor Wences, [2]



Shecky Greene, [3]



[1] Unlike New York Italians, Italians from Italy are not Jewish when it come to humor.

[2] You may have seen Carl Reiner doing his shtick.

[3] Not bad. Gigs at Kutsher's, Grossinger's, The Nevele, and then finally Ed Sullivan. OK this one was not Ed Sullivan, but he was there.

Who here remembers Ted Mack's Amateur hour?

ORIGINAL Amateur Hour

It's now a porn site.

I only remember the guy who spun the plates on sticks.

[Rob Lister]

Yea! I loved that guy.

That was my uncle Charlie.

Is there any show like that today? There should be. But who should host?

[shemp]

You need a little guy with a nasal voice. Gilbert Gottfried.

I remember the Beatles on the show like it was yesterday
