Played so many roles, but was a fantastic musician, arranger, composer and band leader.I'm only commenting about the Honeymooners.I know nothing of his other interests but have heard of his band leader work so it's obvious that at least some people (if not many) thought he did well,as do you.

On another note, Art Carney was the greatest slapstick comedian of all time,
He was exceptional. I cannot forget the way he loosened up his hands to play the opening measure of Old Folks at Home when Ralph was going on the $99,000 Answer, or his stint as the Chef of the Past. Good stuff.

He had a series of "mood music" albums, where he would hum or sing the basic tune, and have composers flesh out the arrangements (Gleason couldn't read music). Those albums made him a fortune. Gleason's personall life has been well documented, so this is not breaking news, and Randolph says nothing that is not already very public knowledge.

Then theres the long-standing rumor that Nixon?? took him into a room at Edwards AFB and showed him alien bodies...
It's true, it's true. Except in those days they were called wetbacks, and you could eat Fritos and still snicker. This was in the days before someone shot Mary Rose Wilcox, Maricopa County Senora and county board of supervisors member, in her buttocks grandissimo.

They dont make variety shows like that anymore.
And don't forget the June Taylor dancers.

Jackie Gleason produced, directed, collaborated on the writing, and even created the famous theme music for the show. He allowed his two principal costars to shine and himself played the braggart, the fool, the tightwad, and the frustrated working class stiff whose idiot friend and upstairs neighbor Norton and his wife Trixie seemed to have all the comforts of (1950's) modern apartment living, or as you put it the "butt" of all those great lines.

Leonard Stern was one of the writers... went on to produce some real classics.

This tabloid headline is misleading, isn’t it? Joyce Randolph pretty much praises Gleason in the article.

Trivia: The Honeymooners was created Gleason with a writer named Harry Crane who’s daughter later adopted a one day old who grew up to be Melissa Gilbert.

Yes I forgot about that. He was like...the Italian composer in the spaghetti westerns who couldn’t read music so worked with musicians who could put his ideas on paper.
It also ocvurs to me it has been reported many times he was a heavy drinker and womanizer. Wasn’t there a scandal or bruhaha over JG and the June Taylor Dancers?

I loved Ralph and Alice’s kitchen! Grease on the walls, dirty pots and pans. It was done on purpose to make those of us in similar situations bond with the characters and aspire to better things.

On another note, Art Carney was the greatest slapstick comedian of all time, although Kramer is a close second. Whaddaya say, Ralphie boy? Well, Red Skelton and Peter Lorre COULD'VE carried the show...
