    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.

      Christopher Sobieniak Negative, Topo Gigio had already been introduced in Mexico in the late 60’s and all throughout the 70’s,80’s and well into the 90’s. He first appeared in Mexico’s tv network “Televisa” in the late 60’s. From there it would spread to the rest of Latin America including Peru. Topo Gigio was and still is well known all over Latin America it’s sort of a cultural icon for people that remember it as part of their childhoods.
