Episode 1

This is the premiere episode of Jackie Gleason's new variety series. Guests include Art Carney, who joins Jackie for a reprise of The Honeymooners, and brothers Wayne and Jerry Newton in their national TV debut. Joe the Bartender and Crazy Guggenheim talk about pay-TV and that really fat comedian Jackie Gleason. A musical take-off on The Untouchables called The Retouchables featuring Jackie as crime fighter "Elliott Flesh". In The Honeymooners sketch "Two Below", Ralph wants Ed to get serious about civil defense and spend a week in the basement/air raid shelter. They consider this better than taking their wives on a trip to Atlantic City. Trouble reaches a peak when Ralph & Ed attempt to sleep in bunk beds and Ed bursts a pipe.
