    I was 14 and watching Jackie Gleason was one of the highlights of the week. This was a time before shock humor, when delivery of jokes was based on surprise, irony, and innocence. A poet in every storm? One had to be knowledgeable to understand the humor sometimes. That is what we lose when we ban books - knowledge. I love this clip; thank you!

    I had always wanted to meet Mr. Fontaine as I had heard him when I was a child acting as Crazy Guggenheim. I was unaware that he had such a great voice and acted in movies. I was fortunate to know his manager and was invited to the daughter's wedding. Mr. Frank Fountaine sang "Daddy's Little Girl." While at the wedding I met his son who wa in the military at the time. Many told me that Frankie Junior was a better singer than his dad. What a great personality Mr. Fontaine had.

      One of Frank Fontaine's best movie roles is as Hjalmar Johannsson in the 1951 20thCentury-Fox film "The Model and the Marriage Broker." EXCELLENT ensemble movie, with great players both in the leads (Thelma Ritter, Jeanne Crain, Scott Brady, and Michael O'Shea) and in the many character parts (including, but not limited to, Frank Fontaine, Jay C. Flippen, John Alexander, Zero Mostel, Dennie Moore, Nancy Kulp, Helen Ford, Maudie Prickett, Kathryn Card, Blythe Daley, Allison Daniell, Dennis Ross - and, as one of the three Miss Perrys, Edna May Wonacott, 9 years after her outstanding performance as Ann Newton in Alfred Hitchcock's "Shadow of a Doubt"). Written by Charles Brackett, Walter Reisch, and Richard L. Breen, and directed by George Cukor.

    Loved them , but can’t help but notice how much of our childhood was spent watching drunk guy comedies.

    my father loved jackie gleason, and more than likely frank fontaine, i'd never seen this or them but it holds up well, really campy but a great routine, love how jackie keeps getting irritated then repeatedly drawn back into the story.

    I was close friends with one of Franks sons. Bob had memorized his father’s skits. He would make me laugh so hard I would cry. 😂I miss him.😢

    As little kids, we were sent to bed early but we always begged to stay up to watch until the Crazy Guggenheim segment was over.

    This was a good vido because you got to hear more at the end of My Gal Sal by Gleason.

    I, too, remember watching "The Jackie Gleason Show" as a young lad (I'll turn 66 later this summer!), when it was a one-hour variety show on Saturday evenings on CBS. If I remember rightly, the "Joe the Bartender/Crazy Guggenheim" sketch aired in the last quarter-hour of the show. I, too, remember the outstanding musical numbers, and the Reginald Van Gleason and "The Poor Soul" sketches, as well.
    Sadly, the sketch aired here was from the last season of the hour-long variety show based in New York. From fall of 1966 until the show's cancellation in 1970, Jackie Gleason elected to relocate to "the sun and fun of Miami Beach," with tired, bloated, hourlong musical versions of "The Honeymooners" airing each week, in the company of Art Carney, Sheila MacRae, Jane Kean, Sammy Spear and his orchestra, the June Taylor Dancers, and announcer Johnny Olsen. The production values may have been good, but the shows themselves were not in those last 4 seasons.

    I was single digit age when The Jackie Gleason Show was in production , and I remember watching it with my parents . We always looked forward to his " Joe The Bartender " segment ! I remembered the show so fondly , that from memory , I figured out a recurrent musical theme from the show , a beautiful piece entitled " Tenderly " in chord / melody style on my guitar . We'll never have entertainment like this again !

    "Captain Nemo was married, he was married to a woman." Now why did that get such a big laugh? Miss those days.

    We didn't watch this show at home, but I remember it being on at my Grandmother's house. It is funny how some things stay in your memory, for me it was Crazy Guggenheim.
