Classic Ed Sullivan…Zippy And The Cameramen
In this short but sweet piece from April of 1961, Zippy the chimp gives the Sullivan camera crew a workout as they try to follow him. Notice Camera 2 is Zoomar equipped. All are RCA TK11/31s. Typically, there were three cameras on stage, one at floor level at the edge of the stage and one in the balcony for long shots. Enjoy and share! -Bobby Ellerbee

The original Stupid Pet Tricks
Was funny back in 1961, but if a chimp was given a cigarette now, that person would be arrested for animal cruelity.
The monkey smokes !!!! Hilarious !!! Also the guy resembles the famous John Daly to me.
