Buried at the end of this story about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2026 inductees is this:

“More than 50 years after his death, Ed Sullivan, the legendary host of the eponymous TV show, will enter the Hall of Fame with the Ahmet Ertegun non-performer award: a recognition of the Sunday night show that became a launchpad for so many musical icons of the 1950s and 1960s, and helped break down racial barriers in American entertainment.”

As someone who grew up with the Ed Sullivan show, this made me smile.
