Ed Sullivan Loved Elvis Too... Or Was It The Ratings



Elvis' infamous Ed Sullivan Show appearance--where he is filmed only from the waste up--was from his third and final appearance on the show in January 1957. His first two appearances were broadcast without censorship.

Elvis' appearances on the Ed Sullivan Show broke ratings records set by I Love Lucy in the 1953 birth of Little Ricky episode. Elvis' Neilsen ratings record would not be broken until the Beatles appeared on Ed Sullivan in 1964.
