Special Place
Even though Sullivan passed away nearly 50 years ago, his influence on the entertainment industry continues to this day. Other popular entertainment programs have since taken its place at the location where his legendary show was filmed, but it is important to remember that Ed Sullivan served as the model for all of these later programs. The venue, which is now known as The Ed Sullivan Theatre, has hosted wildly popular talk shows like The Late Show under the leadership of both David Letterman and Stephen Colbert.

Even after his passing, Sullivan’s legacy endures today thanks to the numerous engrossing and motivational tales that are still being shared about the secrets of his legendary program. For instance, everyone is aware that the legendary Elvis Presley’s appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show was one of the biggest and most significant moments in the history of rock and roll. You may not be aware of this, but Sullivan wasn’t initially all that excited to have the rocker on his show. He believed his hip-thrusting actions were a little too coarse for his family to see.
