Most likely, Jack Lascoulie had a contract with NBC which would had prohibited his voice to be used on other network broadcasts in re-runs, a sort of non-compete of its time. Dumont or CBs, it wouldn't had mattered to his current employer in 1953, in this case NBC.
@GaryW48 Yes, it is Lascoulie. He was the announcer when the Honeymooners episodes originally aired. But another was substituted when the show when into reruns---that would be the voice most of us are familiar with now. I'm not sure why the change was made.
@WSenator1 Okay. If I had to take a guess, I would assume that she may not have been on this particular episode. Then again, features were not as heavily credited then as they are now. But that is just my guess.
@MIKESOWELL - No, Joyce Randolph had been on the show when it was still on the Dumont network ("Cavalcade of Stars") about a year before this clip was first shown.
I noticed they gave credits to Art Carney and Audry Meadows - but not to Joyce Randolph. Was that because she wasn't on this particular show - or her role (as Trixie in "The Honeymooners" sketches) was so small that they could do without?

@WSenator1 I'm not 100 percent sure, but I believe this was before she did that role.

I'm surprised to see the "fireworks" opening here. I thought Jackie Gleason did that just for "The Honeymooners." Thanks for the clip

What is the name of the announcer at the start of the program? Jack Lascoulie from the Today Show on NBC? Sounds like him but it can't be.
