A GREAT HALF HOUR OF HISTORY! Few show are as legendary as THE ED SILLIVAN SHOW, and to hear stories from those on the inside is quite a treat! Here is our friend John Moffitt sharing some of his recollections in part 3 of 9 interviews with the Television Academy.com

John worked first as a production assistant and later as assistant director on “The Ed Sullivan Show” for many years. In this interview segment, he covers a lot of ground that’s fun to hear.

For the first 7 minutes, he talks about working with Ed and then, the conversation turns to working with guests. He’s asked about Barbara Streisand @ 11:00, the Bing Crosby vocal flub that Art Shine fixed @ 14:00, cameras @ 16:45, color @ 18:50 and The Beatles @ 25:13. Good stuff. Enjoy.
