[dba82190]

Does anyone know what episode Ralph says to Alice: Bang zoom to the moon?!

[junghanssons]

someday calling someone a drunk will be understood as an epithet worthy of a non-violent insurrection.

[WytZox1]

@junghanssons -- Gleason explained the difference between a DRUNK and an ALCOHOLIC; a drunk doesn't have to go to those meetings!☺

[Yazjohn31]

It's true, being a drunk does remove pimples from my experience. (Don't know about warts--never had them.) Gleason's right.

Great post,,, If you need some help with your archive be sure to post me

[4freespeech]

The boozing may have been to cover up

guilt. Word is Gleason had a drunk card

party going all night while his mother lay dying in the bedroom.

When he finally "came to" the next after-

noon she was cold as a mackerel.

How much booze would it take to

WASH AWAY THAT MEMORY?

Webkinzrocks400 Your just a kid, lots of actors have a stage name, you would be suprised how many actors today there real you see isn't real

[MrJohnscott1]

[METSGK]

Great vid.

[Webkinzrocks400]

so his real name was Herbert?? i thought it was Jackie!!! lol

[psychkoala]

@Webkinzrocks400

His middle name was John, and "Jack" or "Jackie" are derivatives or pet names. For example, John F Kennedy was sometimes referred to as "Jack Kennedy".

[Webkinzrocks400]

Thanks for the GREAT tribute to the GREAT one!!! "You're not drunk if you can lay on the floor without holding on" - Joe E. Lewis --Post Time!!!

[LosAngeleno1959]

I know thats a Count Basie tune in the background but I can't think of the name? Can anyone help?

[customkey]

That's Freddy Green's composition "Corner Pocket." And yes, the Count Basie Orchestra.

[LosAngeleno1959]

Thank you customkey

[bigtool66]

Good job.........

Very entertaining.......

[fromthesidelines]

Jackie's famous "rich boozer" character, Reginald Van Gleason, was merely an extension of his real-life persona as a drinking man.

[Rich31442]

Very well done,..."How Sweet It Is!"
