Meet Sullivan Associate Producer, Jacques Andre

On Sunday nights, between 8 and 9 PM, Jacques was the “middle man” on ‘The Ed Sullivan Show’. During the week, he worked for producer Bob Precht, but on show night, he stood with Ed at the side of the stage keeping the show’s running time and was the hub between the control room, stage manager Eddie Brinkmann and Sullivan. Although quite capable, he would always feel the need throw up before each show. Below, Jacques is holding the Q card and on the left is standing behind Ed. He looks a little different as the left photo is three weeks after the tape session and live show and was taken during dress rehearsal of the February 23 show. In the monitor, you can see the tape slate for the Beatles video insert. The Q card on the boom has at the top, the band members names and the second two blurbs list the songs in each set.
