Back when three TV networks ruled America's evenings, Ed Sullivan ruled Sunday nights. Through the voices of some 60 stars interviewed for the book, Nachman brings to life the most beloved, diverse, multi-cultural, and influential variety hour ever to air nationally. Sullivan was the first TV impresario to feature black performers on a regular basis—including Nat King Cole, Pearl Bailey, James Brown, and Richard Pryor—and in doing so, changed the face of American popular culture along the way. In this compulsively readable history, we see the earliest dog acts and jugglers to Elvis Presley, the Beatles, and beyond. Gerald Nachman is the author of numerous books and is also a contributor to Esquire, Newsweek, GQ, Cosmopolitan, and the New York Times.
