"Through it all, Sullivan presented his signature mix of highbrow and cornpone, Borscht Belt and Middle America, from Fred Astaire to Richard Pryor, Walt Disney to Janis Joplin. He was the variety show producer as curator of national culture." "Like his show, Sullivan's life was a mirror of its time, and Impresario, the first major biography of his iconic showman, tells his story as an engaging narrative. From his birth in a Jewish-Irish ghetto in Harlem to his career as a Broadway gossip columnist, his years in the sweat-and-sawdust vaudeville circuit, his stint in Hollywood, and his struggles in television, the man behind the scenes is revealed: mercurial and tyrannical, yet also charming and deeply sentimental - this introvert who hungered for a mass audience was defined by his contradictions." "Impressively researched-including interviews with top performers like Joan Rivers, George Carlin, and Carol Burnett - Impresario tells the story of a pioneering showman who both shaped and reflected American culture at the birth of the modern media age."--BOOK JACKET.
