I was the first to promote The Beatles in the States, and Ed Sullivan called me first about them before he ever booked them on his television show.

I couldn't do 'The Ed Sullivan Show.' Ed said I was a flash in the pan, and he was right.

We finally got our big break when Ed Sullivan put us on his show.

I never saw The Beatles live. I was very aware of them, though.

I don't think anybody comes close to The Beatles, including Oasis.

Everyone's seen the Beatles.

The Beatles were something everyone had in common; this was thirty years ago, there was Dr. Who and everybody knew who the Daleks were and there was The Beatles and everybody knew who George Harrison was.

I did the Ed Sullivan show four times. I did the Steve Allen show. I did the Jackie Gleason show.

Ed Sullivan will be around as long as someone else has talent.
