Jayne Meadows could hold her own with any of the women on Jackie Gleason's panel. Back then no one knew how bad smoking was for you obviously. Thanks for the video.
alexa penn I love seeing how he treated each guest. Weather it was a little old lady or a small child or a teenager or collage student. He always approached talking to them in just the perfect manner. He never condescended in talking to small kids or older folks. He really was a gem of a host.
It just floors me when he gives the elderly lady a carton of Winstons as a high-school graduation gift. Tobacco company sponsorship was a strange, strange thing.
Winston was the show’s main sponsor. It’s said he was contractually obligated to smoke on every episode of the show. 💨 (Later, he had throat cancer, then died of emphysema.)
Gleason was 39 here and looking dapper . i am sure that he knew Ms. Meadows well since he employed her little sister and knew also about her sisters frustrations about Gleasons lack of rehearsal for the Honey mooners skit . He did require for the June Taylor dancers to rehearse .
Jackie definitely has to be taken in the context of the time. I always had issues with The Honeymooners, but he did so many other things. Watch him on stage in theatre...
@@keetrandling4530 It's true, Jackie did a great many other things. From the early 50s to the late 60s, The Great One conducted albums of easy-listening music!

That last punchline was pretty good.
I won’t spoil it for anyone who might read this before watching the show.
Ms Hull was delightful - what a delivery!! :}
Now that I'm old I'm going to use "Now that's nice ." in just that tone
Omg this was hilarious 😂😂
I've love Bill Cullen and Steve Allen forever.
I'm so glad to be able to fall in love with Gary and all the gang.
I lived on Ocean Avenue in Brooklyn, too, like the 1st contestant, Sarah Weiss. I wonder if I was near here, lol.
the first lady single handedly planted the seed for the filming of the future movie "Clueless."
i object - they asked good frickin' questions!!! boy, this was a looooong time ago social-wise. . .
18:30 A sick burn from Henry!
Garry had a lot of fun during this show :}

@@maryallison0509 Very true.
@@maryallison0509you mean blowing smoke in their faces? 😮

To you, it's strange. Back then, it was common. Cigarette commercials weren't banned from television until the 1970s.
What a wonderful satire of the I got a secret format.
Wow Jane Meadows was stunning when she was on IGAS. She didn’t age terribly well. But boy was she something in her thirties.
Look at him holding her precious certificate and a cigarette in the same hand!
Bhhhhy yt?ko

Yes to the dress
Great show but damn! My phone now smells like cigarette smoke
😅🤣
gods, he funny - what a performer!!!!
the last young woman looked particularly intelligent. . .
Were they? Frankly, on the available evidence I couldn't discern one way or another.
He's completely tedious.
@@karltiedemann9329 : oh, you need to be watching John Daly.
I don't like the episodes where the men are pervy and creepy.
That kind of sexism was considered all in good fun during the 1950s.
Anything beats what is happening in 2021.
When you could smoke on a game show. No, I'm not a smoker.
I think Mrs Hull is having a Joe Biden moment
😂😂😂🤣😂😂😂😂😂😍😂☺️
Gary Moore ... Barrymore ... same difference.
Cheap and tawdry not to mention boring. Gleason can only scream insults and ogle women. No talent!
I've never given up on an episode before but he's so unfunny that I can't stand it any longer.
Gary Moore?
This was comedy. Nowadays, you get a lecture not comedy.
10 dollars in confederate money
I don't find Jackie Gleason funny.
I do not get Jackie Gleason; about as entertaining as a
Migraine! Quick, turn him off!
I demur, but "de gustibus non disputandum est." (Spot of Latin thrown in to heighten the general tone.)
He's just awful. Worst guest ever on this show.

@@karltiedemann9329 : you again. thanks to you there is an ass hole around every corner.
