SPECIAL COLOR BONUS PAGE:<\/strong> Before October 31, 1965…the day CBS Studio 50 was color capable via their new Norelco PC71 cameras, Sullivan’s show had been broacast in color only a handful of times and all but one of those color shows had originated at CBS Television City in Hollywood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the one time that the show was done in color from NYC before October of ’65. It was 1954 and the show was still called TOAST OF THE TOWN when, for a week in the late summer, CBS Color Studio 72 became the stage for that week’s live show. Studio 72 was CBS’s only color studio on the east coast and was equipped with RCA TK41 cameras. Here are some still shots of that weeks rehearsals, BUT ALSO, an amazing 14 minutes of color film that captures the event. Click the special box below to see it. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
