Jim was kind enough to lend me this definitive Ed Sullivan book for a while so I could scan a few pictures.
I'll not bother to identify the artists since most of my viewership, advanced in age and unaware what day it is, through a blissful quirk of fate will remember them instantly!

The studio where The Ed Sullivan

Show was done was originally the

Hammerstein Theater & had several

other names before it became CBS

Studio 50 (in the 50s) & now has

been renamed the Ed Sullivan for

Letterman's Late Show located at

West 53rd & Broadway

I believe that CBS Studio 50 was

also where Jackie Gleason's the

"Honeymooners" first started

In the back of this excellent history, look for the acts listed by name and the number of times they appeared with Ed. For example, Clyde Beatty was on 4 times.

While you're at it, look for the new one--SUNDAYS WITH SULLIVAN, by Bernie Ilson, out in softcover at 216 pages, around $15. Bernie takes us through the whole 23-year run of the show, 1948-1971.
