The TUAW TV Live variety show, today at 5 PM EDT

If you're as old as TUAW TV Live host Steve Sande, then you probably remember the TV variety show genre. These were shows like The Ed Sullivan Show that featured a variety (duh!) of different acts, from music and comedy, to balancing acts and acrobats. You never knew what you were going to see, and it was all done live.

Well, fast-forward about 45 years, and you have the 2010 Apple geek edition of the variety show on today's TUAW TV Live. We've got music (fortunately, Steve won't sing), art, science, nature, and even death-defying stunts of incredible stupidity! Steve is much more animated than the late, great Ed Sullivan (see at right), so you're sure to have a good time.

You can watch and join in on the live chat this afternoon at 5 PM EDT (2 PM PDT) here at TUAW.com. Just drop by a few minutes before the show goes live, and we'll have instructions on how you can join in on the fun.

You don't have to go 45 years back to know about variety shows. There was a brief revival in the mid- to late-70s. Please don't ask me how I know this.

Why do certain layout artists flip pictures? Your photo of Ed Sullivan is backwards. Who has a pocket handkerchief on the right side? And few
wear their watches on the right hand. If Ed had a real hair part, that
would give it away too. Perhaps a female art director who's never seen
a man in a real suit before?
