The Ed Sullivan Show was a television variety program that aired on CBS from 1948-1971. For 23 years it aired every Sunday night and played host to the world's greatest talents. The Ed Sullivan Show is well known for bringing rock n' roll music to the forefront of American culture through acts like Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones. The entertainers each week ranged from comedians like Joan Rivers and Rodney Dangerfield, to Broadway stars Julie Andrews and Richard Burton, to pop singers such as Bobby Darin and Petula Clark. It also frequently featured stars of Motown such as The Supremes, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder and The Jackson 5. The Ed Sullivan Show was one of the only places on American television where such a wide variety of popular culture was showcased and its legacy lives on to this day.

97 years young! In my heart, he will never grow old. He will always be "Forever Young!"
Happy Saturday... thank you for sharing! 💖
The sad girl incredible dancer was in Ballet Companies.. also other Broadway shows
. The best dancer that's why she was picked for this number..
So thankful Ed Sullivan showcased what was happening in america. so glad these are saved. Dick Van Dyke, a treasure.
I always enjoy seeing Dick Van Dyke dance. 🙂 I put on a genuine happy face every time.
The ninth consecutive "Bye Bye Birdie" tribute video to commentate the 60th anniversary of the movie premiere (April 4th, 1963). I remembered seeing Dick Van Dyke singing "Put on a Happy Face" to a girl on the Sullivan show somewhere (maybe in a "Best of" special), so I thought this video would show up. I never realized before how many "Birdie" songs were sung on the Sullivan show on different episodes. The funny thing is that "Put on a Happy Face" became the theme song for Hollywood Palace, Ed Sullivan's chief variety show competitor in the '60's (on Saturday nights instead of Sunday).
For Ed's intro and outro see '"Put on a Happy Face" - BYE BYE BIRDIE on Ed Sullivan"'
Gray skies are gonna clear up,
Put on a happy face;
Brush off the clouds and cheer up,
Put on a happy face.
Take off the gloomy mask of tragedy,
It's not your style
You'll look so good that you'll be glad
Ya' decide to smile!
Pick out a pleasant outlook,
Stick out that noble chin;
Wipe off that "full of doubt" look,
Slap on a happy grin!
And spread sunshine all over the place,
Just put on a happy face!
And if you're feeling cross and bitterish
Don't sit and whine
Think of banana split and licorice
And you'll feel fine
I knew a girl so glooming
She'd never laugh or sing
She wouldn't listen to me
Now she's a mean old thing
So spread sunshine all over the place
Just put on a happy face
So, put on a happy face
Great to see it. Ed Sullivan is often the only source for original cast video. Meanwhile, they were searching for someone to star in an upcoming sitcom pilot when they saw Dick in Birdie. Carl Reiner and Sheldon Leonard hired him for what would later be renamed the Dick Van Dyke show. Dick was already 35 years old and when he read with Mary Tyler Moore who I think was 23. He told Reiner she was too young and it would never work!
...Yet it worked and became one of the most successful television shows in history...
@@edufau815The show changed the Family Sitcom. Suddenly Ozzie and Harriet, Donna Reed, and Danny Thomas seemed fluffy and out of date. Still, it took awhile for more great sitcoms to appear after Dick Van Dyke went off the air.
@@MostlyBrenda All of them giants of television, the golden age of the medium, when millions of families gathered in front of that invention that was still in full expansion at that time. The Nelsons must be a unique case in their history, a family on and off the screen, they competed for a time from ABC (which also broadcast The Donna Reed Show during the 60s) with The Dick Van Dyke Show (from CBS). Danny Thomas worked as executive producer of the Van Dyke show simultaneously with his own show (already on CBS, since it started on ABC)... Also mention the great queen and somewhat forerunner of sitcom, Lucille Ball, and her pupil Carol Burnett. I think that the natural continuer of the Van Dyke show was precisely MTM, his "wife" in fiction... With her show and its several spin-offs continued to succeed on television... Personally, I was a big fan of Lou Grant.
@@edufau815 Unlike Dick Van Dyke show, those 50's sitcoms are nearly unwatchable today. Leave It to Beaver is maybe the only one that holds up. The Nelsons may have been unique, but it just silly to see nowadays. The 60's followed with weird period of "supernatural" comedy. Jeannie, Bewitched, Addams, Munsters, My Fav Martian etc. that lasted until the seventies.
@@MostlyBrenda It is true that practically all the sitcoms of the time would not be tolerated today for many reasons, among others, due to the treatment of gender roles within the family. All of them were simple archetypal and utopian constructions that had little to do with the social reality of that time, and less with that of our days, they were a friendly representation of the American way of life and the American dream for WASP... But then nobody (or few) all these questions were raised so these comedies were popular. I wonder how current comedies will be understood in 2080, since they will probably also find in them cultural biases typical of our time that may already be greatly overcome in the future... I don't understand that revisionist wave that affects even the classics of Disney, the past, for better or worse, forms the heritage of a people or a nation, it is absurd to try to change it "after the fact", I think it should be there to teach us to improve ourselves personally and as a society. How would any child today look at the first 64KB personal computers of 40 years ago? Sure they would make them laugh, however they changed the world...
❤Love Dick Van Dyke ❤
So beautiful to see a young Dick Van Dyke 😍
2024 Emy's brought me here .... thanks again Dick!!!!
Still watching 2024" 😊
I never tire of seeing that fun dance starring a great Dick van Dyke!!
Dick Van Dyke is absolutely adorable!!😍
That was delightful! Love Mr. Van Dyke to pieces. ❤️
This so much better than the movie where Dick sings to his girlfriend Rosie, played by Janet Leigh. Hollywood managed to do terrible things to the plays! If you must see it, the video is titled "Put on a Happy Face- Dick Van Dyke & Janet Leigh". Don't say I didn't warn you though. They took all the fun out of it. 😞
Hollywood has mangled some of Broadway's greatest shows including Bye Bye Birdie, which was seriously altered to showcase Ann Margaret.
@@johnprovince5304 We discussed this in the other video that ESS posted with Paul Lynde . Mainly that the director was so infatuated with Ann that he filmed, at his own expense, the opening and closing starring her dancing.
"...No smoking until you're 14!" Ah, the good old days 😂
My Grandmother Used To Sing That Song Right Before She Passed Away 😭💔😢💐🌹💕💖❣️ R .I.P Grammy February 5th 1955 September 30th 2009
And Me Papa And Grandpa Used To Sit There And Talk About Dick Van Dyke Right Before They Passed Away 💖😭💔😢💐🌹💕💖💝💟❣️🌺🏵️
I just did a binge of This Show.
*Very good variety of entertainment on the show, Credits To Carl Reiner!* (a recast of his own show.)
Dick, Jerry, Rose Marie, Moray Amsterdam, Mary Tyler Moore, And All The Guest And Others!
Buddy was the first Robin Williams With Instantaneous Shots From Out The Blue.😊
And he said he couldn’t dance
Since March 24, 2023, I have been wondering why the channel has been uploading all the various interpretations and cast performances of the music from Bye Bye Birdie. I discovered that the 60th anniversary of the film's release occurs on April 4, 2023. Or maybe all the Bye Bye Birdie uploads are just a coincidence.
the difference is all good stage actors can become good screen actors but not all good screen actors can make it on a stage....
❤
👍
Does anyone know the identity of the young brunette woman that Dick Van Dyke dances with in this clip? I guess her character would be called "Sad girl #1"?
I would like to know as well. She was very good!
The opening night cast listed Sharon Lerit as "Sad Girl" and Karin Wolfe as "Helen (Another Sad Girl)". However, during the run of the play (April 14, 1960 - Oct 7, 1961), there were replacements for most of the cast. Did you know that Gene Rayburn replaced Dick? Rayburn dancing to "Happy Face"? Anyway, Kay Cole was the replacement "sad girl". Other Helens (Another Sad Girl) were Jill Choder and Marilyn Siskin. I think the Sullivan show was early enough in the run to assume that the original cast was intact.
Teen Trio: Another peek into the databases and I see they identify the girls singing the Conrad Birdie song as Jessica Albright, Vicki Belmonte and Louise Quick. It appears that none of the names I've mentioned so far went on to have a show biz career. Only 2 or 3 credits at most.
And this Man say to Gower Champion : i dont dance !!!
Gower: dont Sorry we made you dance !!!
VERY different from the movie which was completely reconfigured to showcase Ann Margaret.
1:44
I read that Lada St Edmund, one of the dancers on “Hullabaloo “ was in the original show. I wonder if she was in this production.
I think I see her in the Paul Lynde video as the first girl in line as Conrad enters the room.
BYE BYE BIRDIE
It's amazing what passed as entertainment. This would not fly today. Did not age well.
HA HA LMBO! What , not Lady Goo Goo enough for ya?
@@recordguy4321 No, I meant it wasn't entertaining as we have become more sophisticated in our tastes since the '60s. Lady "No-Talent" Gaga isn't even a lady.
@@firetopman what do you call sophistcated??, to me it isnt defined by decade but by TALENT. You know like Ray Charles any decade, Duke Ellington any decade, Louis Armstrong any decade Sinatra etc...Sophistication from pop music has been DEAD for years, with very few exceptions
@@recordguy4321 That bit with Dyke sucked big time. It would be booed off the stage. He is no Sinatra. And that brunette was a boy all day long. I am angry that they played us and duped us. Every one of those singers you named were not born with a penis. Dyke is a dyke (born a woman, play on words).
Yeah, we like movies from comic books and scripted "reality" shows.
Cool!!! :)
