Where to Watch Sunday Best: The Untold Story of Ed Sullivan (2025) in the US

What it's about

The Ed Sullivan Show was the most-watched program in America, where Ed Sullivan turned up-and-coming acts like Elvis and The Beatles into cultural phenomenons overnight. But above heralding new stars, his show sent an important, unspoken, radical message of integration - in the midst of Jim Crow-era segregation - that went far beyond entertainment, challenging the nation to do the same. Sunday Best traces the rise and rise of the greatest names in music through the barrier-breaking host that introduced them to the world, featuring some of the rarest, first-ever TV performances from artists like Stevie Wonder, The Supremes, James Brown, The Jackson 5, Nat King Cole, and more. Brimming with edge, energy, and an exuberant soundtrack, Sunday Best sheds new light on one of the most transformative periods in television history and the show that changed the sound of America forever.
