One of Jackie Gleason’s last TV appearances was on the Today Show where he explained how Amos n Andy gave him the inspiration for the Honeymooners. Similar plot, but with a couple of White working stiffs from, as Norton called it “the Garden spot of the woild, Brooklyn, USA”๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€

Amos and Andy was another funny show. Better than any sitcom on TV today.
