In 1948, the CBS television network was planning a weekly variety series
and  Newspaper columnist Ed Sullivan was chosen as host. The series
premiered on June 20, 1948 as the Toast of the Town. The show featured
Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis performing along with singer Monica Lewis
and Broadway composers Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II. On
September 18, 1955, the series was given its new title The Ed Sullivan Show.

(June 19, 1897 – May 4, 1975)
As the head stooge of the Three Stooges, Howard’s film and TV
career spanned four decades. The comedy trio was nominated
for an Academy Award for the 1934 film Men in Black.The parody
short is significant in that it was the only time that the trio would be
nominated for an Oscar.

Before fame, Howard constantly skipped school as a child to attend
local theater shows, and failed to break into Hollywood for several
years before forming the Three Stooges.
