In March 1963, Eric and Ernie made their first trip across the Atlantic to appear on The Ed Sullivan Show. Jonathan Ross tells the story of how they had been spotted appearing at The London Palladium by Sullivan, and how he booked them for three performances in that year. At first the American studio audience weren't sure what to make of Eric and Ernie and, on their first appearance, they were listened to in virtual silence. So they selected a more physical routine for their second performance, and the reaction improved immeasurably.
