Description:
Radio Mirror (later known as Radio and Television Mirror) was a fan magazine for radio listeners and later TV viewers that includes profiles of the stars, visits to radio and television studios, and program listings.

The role of radio in World War II is well covered in the 1940s, and by the 1950s the focus shifts to television and a new generation of personalities. -- David Pierce, 2013

His Toast Of The Toion rates as the nation's top TV variety program, but Ed is not a singer, not a comedian, not a dancer, not an actor, not a musician — in fact, not even a bona-fide emcee (he barely shows his teeth). Obviously, he must be a genius. And this is a sober observation, not mere flippancy. Ed Sullivan is an exceptional man who is painfully modest, quiet and unassuming. Toast Of The Town is an exceptional show which is none of these things. It is famed for variety that is exciting, sometimes wondrous and (Continued on page 89) Ed Sullivan is the creator, producer and master of ceremonies of Toast Of The Town, as seen over CRS-TV, Sundays, from 8 to 9 P.M.
