I was very good friends with one of Franks sons. He had memorized his father’s routines and kept everyone entertained. I would laugh so hard it made me cry. Bob died several years ago. I really miss him. 😢
I am old enough to have watched this live! My father never went out with my Mom until JG was over and he "let" us watch it with him! What a treat and memory! Frank Fontaine and Jackie Gleason! That's entertainment!
Lots of great memories here from when I was 8. Frank Fontaine I almost forgot about, but he was great, and this skit, Jackie Gleason unselfishly let Fontaine had most of the laughs, and a great voice, I remember it, was from Miami Beach. Now, this is left to the ages, but what fun it was back then. Thank-you so much!
I saw Frank Fontaine with my family at the Delaware State Fair around this time. Fontaine was well loved and gave a good show. Gleason's Saturday night show is a fond memory.
This era of decades without measure as it were, in the emergent time of television, none ever other prior to or evermore since be. Grateful for internets/ YT
Thank you for posting this segment of Joe the Bartender and Crazy Guggenheim. That closing segment never failed to leave the entire family laughing hysterically. Over 60 years have passed and it is still just as hilarious! 😂
My dad love The Gleason Show from Miami. I was young but remember dad laughing at Joe the Bartender when he put his finger in the beer (every week). Dad could also do a great Crazy Guggenheim impersonation when he had a few.
There is an episode I have not seen since it aired and can't find it anywhere online.. After Crazy done his song he brought out his son(which I think was Frank Fontaine's real son). He had all of Crazy's mannerisms down pat and voice as well. You wouldn't happen to have that one do ya?

what a fantastic voice! more talent on the set in 10 minutes than you'll see now in 2 hours!
It's brilliant
Looks on Gleason's face is priceless.
I remember watching this when I was very little. This was my favorite segment.
This routine always worked. Gleason just had to react and it made "Crazy's" jokes even funnier. The song at the end made it a classic in TV.
I BARELY remember seeing this on TV weekends during the late 1950s- early 1960s. The Honeymooners was also a MUST-see back in the day!
Indeed so! ❤
Funny skit.
He had a beautiful voice.
I'm a baritone and love to hear a special voice.
I remember these segments with Frank Fontaine so well and with great affection. Great memories.
I remember Jackie Gleason when I was younger but he is the best
but?
😂What a great TEAM! They were both so AMAZING!
Real Hollywood talent. Bless the old days.❤
Rest in peace of to both.🇺🇸😊☮️
I was a young lad but watched these as much as possible. Bless them both!

Loved watching this skit back in the 60's when it was on.....Gleason was the best
My dad laughed his ass off watching these two, he loved Jackie Gleason
Wouldn't it be NICE! That films like this goes from the Archive to now YOU TUBE . WOW
Priceless memories. May they both Rest In Peace, Amen!❤
That must have been quite a movie old Crazy saw. Great video! Thank you.
Incredible how much joy I get watching this. It's been too long.
Thanks for the comment! We do have it. We will post it for you now @tapemaster. Enjoy!
I loved this show as a kid.

These two people were GENIUS AND I MISS THEM BOTH SO MUCH.❤❤❤❤❤❤
Rest in peace to both .😢
Genius, yes!
These two were great together. Miss this stuff.
I was in the marine corps with Fontaines son Camp Lejeune 1963
Some of the greatest
comedy ever
"My Gal Sal" always teared me up as a tyke. Still does.
Fondly remember Joe the bartender with Crazy G. I remember pouring my Dads beer at dinner time and sticking my fingers in it.
Great memories from my childhood
These guys were funny and great unlike todays tv.

Just watched it. Hysterical!! Was the first episode where Crazy sang.
It was great to Jackie Gleason was on with Crazy Guggenheim
The seating was cavernous where this was taped. Gleason slamming his hand on the bar was an ""applause"" sign to the audience.
Hey! I resemble that remark.
3 words...THE M00N ALICE!!!!
When television shows were good and we didn’t have cancel culture around.
Abortion. What a disgusting belief and practice and mostly to make money for abortionists.
