One week after The Beatles, “The Ed Sullivan Show” aired its first episode in color. Taped at CBS Television City in Hollywood, the show was a typical example of the Sullivan mix. It opened with the Moro Landis Dancers, followed by an aerial act, Sandler & Young singing with Polly Bergen, Red Skelton’s stand-up comedy, a mime, teen idols Dino, Desi & Billy, and Eddie Fisher was the closing act.
