Episode Synopsis
Sunday Best: The Untold Story of Ed Sullivan (2025) is a revealing Netflix documentary directed by Sacha Jenkins that explores how The Ed Sullivan Show became a groundbreaking platform for Black performers during an era of deep racial segregation. Far beyond launching icons like Elvis and The Beatles, Sullivan consistently showcased Black musicians, comedians, and athletes—often against societal and network resistance—helping shift cultural perceptions through the power of television. Featuring rare archival footage and compelling interviews with legends such as Harry Belafonte, Dionne Warwick, Berry Gordy, and Otis Williams, the film highlights Sullivan’s unlikely but persistent role as a champion of equality and integration in mainstream media.
