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.

Even in the early days of his career Jim Henson had such a clear vision for what he wanted to create !!

[@drtmuir]

Yes, monsters eating stuff and exploding. 😂

[@jessicathethreestoogesfan2635]

That Green Monster is actually the early version of Cookie Monster.

[@lydellflood8818]

That's the early version of the Cookie Monster?

[@tpirman1982]

Right on. In this early version of Cookie Monster, he has teeth and was voiced by the late Jim Henson.

[@johnboats9075]

Cookie monster with teeth...I'll take 5

[@philiprichards2010]

I remember cookie monster on sesame street.

[@coldacre]

gee you dont say

[@waltonsimons12]

This is a fascinating look at early retroencabulation technology.

[@kathleenbyrnedalton]

Statler: Disgusting! Ever seen eating like that?
Waldorf: Sure.
Statler: Where?
Waldorf: Thanksgiving dinner with my in-laws.

[@titancroc1019]

"The Doppler supplemented magneto, located on the front of the generator, can be purchased in any hardware store for 37 cents."
This monster prefers a more expensive meal. And it was so expensive, it cost him being blown up!

[@johnbell4132]

Brilliant Muppets Jim Henson's wonderful clever imagination

[@kylelindsey100]

Cookie Monster Ate The Talking Machine!!!

[@digitalmediaresources4682]

Cookie: Yep, me eat Machine. Cowabunga!!! Ommomomomomomomom.😃

[@sha11235]

Yeah, but he blew up as a result. Serves him right!

[@digitalmediaresources4682]

@@sha11235 He could have done that to the pink yellow spike haired phone guy from 911 for Kids: The Great 911 Adventure.

[@julianG1212]

Lol So before he started eating cookies he was eating computers.

[@LMS5935]

And nearly died

[@sheltv100]

That is hillarious.
And the device that costs $2,000 to $3,000 to replace, in today's money that's $30,000.

[@foxytheeditor253]

I did not actually know that

[@Chazd1949]

I'm past age 70 and this still cracks me up !!!

[@CinnamonGrrlErin1]

One of my favorite skits!

[@strangesphereoidcreature]

Nice! The unedited version!

[@Wafaloo]

There’s an edited version of this…?

[@strangesphereoidcreature]

@@Wafaloo Yup, on the Muppet Magic DVD. The explosion was slowed down in the DVD.

[@99PowerNation99]

2:12- 2:13 gaseous methane Monster: burp lol 😂

[@Wafaloo]

I can’t believe the audience wasn’t laughing more than they were

[@sha11235]

Could be that Ed's audiences didn't laugh hysterically at stuff.

[@johnboats9075]

Anybody catch the Gandalf valve lol

[@jesseoliver4397]

That was Two Years before Sesame Street started and before that Monster eventually became the Cookie Monster.

[@Toxic3610]

This is why he switched to Cookies

[@soodwah]

Brilliantly hilarious 🤣🤣🤣

[@sha11235]

Play this at twice the speed and it really is better.

[@sha11235]

You know, I like Jim's regular voice here.

[@ericsamuelson5656]

The machine was Jim Henson's real voice and Jim also did the prototype to Cookie Monster

[@sha11235]

His real voice was pretty good.

[@sha11235]

Yeah, CM's voice reminds me a bit of Swedish Chef.

[@timmundorff2354]

But they talk over each other. Sure the monster wasn't Frank Oz?

[@giovannamarra1718]

Proto-cookie monster break talking machine

[@magnificentmuttley154]

Ah! So before he was Cookie Monster he was just the mean green eating machine... eating _THIS_ machine

[@alextavalesthemuppetmaniac5607]

Oh so this has the introduction included. Cool

[@johnrowley3721]

I wonder how frequently they did this sketch? Because it’s just occurred to me that that machine needs to be rebuilt each time! 😃👍

[@mattanderson6336]

We lost Jim Henson too soon.

[@jackleger2414]

He chose not to get treated for his condition and died as a result

[@Alapaloozalover2000]

Why is it so satisfying when muppets eat stuff?

[@outtathyme5679]

Genius

[@sergiolucio7275]

4:00 😆

[@cainster]

I assume that Jim's computer voice was recorded and Jim (with Frank Oz) puppeteered the 'Monster.' Or was it Jim talking in real time as he was puppeteering?

[@sha11235]

Probably a recorded voice.

[@Expectadorable]

Gracias.

[@avremirine8986]

I always imagine that the monster is Cookie Monster's grandfather.

[@salamarga]

Excelente, es genial este humor intergeneracional completamente humor blanco.

[@Herozilla8109]

It took hours to make that machine (I believe), and now it’s gone in minutes.

[@AngelaWildman-ep6qu]

He looks like a Cookie Monster who’s part alligator 🐊

[@jamesgallagher100]

Or crocodile

[@lk2601]

Before Cookie Monster eats cookies and when has teeths and is green before he’s blue 3:46

[@Herozilla8109]

And that’s why you should watch what you eat.

[@jeffmarks1996]

LOL!

[@lonestarfriend]

Monster has teeth. 🙂

[@yosefdemby8792]
