Elvis Presley made three appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show in the late 1950s. It was on his third and last appearance that he was filmed only from the waist up to obscure his gyrating dance moves, gyrations that no doubt would have hypnotized every teenage girl in America and turned them all into mindless slut zombies willing to do Elvis' bidding whenever he so desired. Thankfully, CBS stopped that particular catastrophe from ever happening. The complete episodes featuring Elvis and containing the original commercial breaks will be included in a new DVD box set titled, Elvis Presley: The Sullivan Shows. The set will be released on November 21.Elvis' Ed Sullivan appearances coming to DVD

I thought the first time Elvis went on Sullivan, Ed wasn't there because he'd been in a horrible car accident. I thought Charles Laughton was the guest host, and that Elvis did his segments from CBS Television City because he was out in Hollywood shooting a movie.
