The Ed Sullivan Show is officially live on Amazon Freevee. Starting today, fans can enjoy some of the most iconic performances of all time from America’s longest-running primetime variety show in television history! From 1948 to 1971, The Ed Sullivan Show welcomed thousands of performers from around the world to its stage. For 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, we’re going to have a really big show!

Viewers can enjoy everything from music, comedy, Broadway, novelty, sports and so much more. Countless music superstars that have left us with historical performances include Elvis Presley, The Beatles, The Supremes, The Mamas & The Papas, The Rolling Stones, and The Jackson 5. Additionally, Broadway productions that take you right from the stage to the screen include Camelot, Oklahoma!, West Side Story, Bye Bye Birdie, The Sound of Music, and Hello Dolly!

If you’re looking for something a little more light-hearted, then you’re in luck. Enjoy stand up performances by comedy’s greatest performers such as Joan Rivers, Rodney Dangerfield, Johnny Carson, Flip Wilson, Alan King, Stiller & Meara, and Jack Carter. For those looking for more unconventional styles of entertainment, viewers can enjoy a variety of entertainment such as The Muppets, Topo Gigio, close-up magic sketches, flying acrobats, plate spinners and so much more.

All of these amazing artists and performances can be found in both our hour and half-hour-long specials. Our half-hour shows include Rock ‘n’ Roll Classics, The Best of The Ed Sullivan Show, and Comedy Legends. These shows highlight notable performances from key episodes.
