Gleason initially engaged Frankie Fontane out of pity. Fontane had 11 children and was broke. Gleason couldn't know how popular Fontane was to become on his show.

The Prairie Home Companion of its day.

That was so funny. I could watch it over and over. :)

Great comedy. Gleason's facial expressions were priceless.

Jackie is singing "My Gal Sal" a the start and finish of the skit.

Good Saturday evening memory here also. I wish someone would post the show where Crazy sang "Put On Your Easter Bonet." I remember that one cause it was Easter Sunday the next day. I always liked how this skit ended with Joe and Crazy shaking hands and Joe singing that song (was that a real song?) as the bar room doors closed and the audience applauded. It was my favorite skit of the show. We'll never see shows like this again. Very sad

@kallemick you and me both, guy. It's a shame them days aint never coming back. We have to hold fast to them in our hearts and can , thanx to youtube! I've wondered if i could go back, would i be satisfied to leave all the conveniences we have now. I concluded that i could, but the one thing that would be tough would be the cell phone! I would love to go back to that way of life and be a teenager in safer neighborhoods, intact social structures, eisenhower government, homes at 20k, malt shops
What can I say? THIS was REAL TELEVISION at its BEST!! The 'GREATEST' Jackie Gleanson and Frank Fontaine. I always thought it was big (no pun intended!) of Jackie to allow 'Craz' to do his weekly monologue and catch all the laughs & finish with a heart-warming song. Brings back wonderful childhood memories of many Saturday evenings and the old B&W TV.
