She knew she was coming, so she baked a cake. Visitors bring Ed gifts and goodies, eyed hungrily by the staff. Midway in the program, Ed sits down and reads a bit of poetry he thinks the studio and home audiences will like. Lee listens in, too, while the Cy Coleman trio provides a bit of appropriate background music. The lady is in the audience, but tenor troubador Lee Sullivan singles DATEi in Meet Ed Herlihy and Lee Sullivan, two men who manage to have more dates in one day than most fellows do in a lifetime! Safety in numbers? Sure, says Ed Herlihy, who dates several hundred women five mornings a week in a New York television studio. Sometimes a husband comes along as chaperon. That's fine with Ed. Often they bring the kids too. The cameramen go slightly mad trying to catch them all, since it's a highly mobile, unrehearsed performance. Lee Sullivan strolls about with his mike until he finds a pretty girl to sing to. Ed gets some audience members to do little stunts, or just get up and exchange a bit of banter, and there are always a couple of well-known guests to do a spot of entertaining. The program began last summer in Central Park, moved indoors when leaves began to fall. Featured on the show was breakfast under the trees, and happily the coffee and cake have now moved right along indoors! RADIO MIRROR TELEVISION SECTION
