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”๐๐
Maybe after the seriousness of WW2, the self deprecation was healing.
Amos and Andy was another funny show. Better than any sitcom on TV today.
