This was a real treat to see. Watching one of the greatest boxers of all time interviewing one of the greatest entertainers of all time. Truly two of the greatest!

Marciano spoke very well and was very articulate in his delivery.

Jackie Gleason such a likeable man.

I knew the Rock by stories my dad used to talk about an I knew Gleason from being a kid watching reruns of the honeymooners in the 80s, always cracked me up when he would scream and hollar😂 priceless lol

2 of the most famous guys in the 🌎 back then......golden era

Who’s the odd man out?

One of the best interviews by both of these gentleman two of the best ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Marciano spoke so well, seemed to be such a nice honest guy ! What a beast he was in his day. Very sad the way he died. Would love to go to Brockton someday to see where the rock came from !!

The decoram was a Master piece. The amazing part of these bye gone era's was the decoram and professionalism. And the fact that no matter what else happens, the show must go own attitude.

Man, I was a little kid when these two great men were in their prime and what an honor to observe the folks who lived in those days, they were amazing.

Damn I wish Rock did this show for many more years. I liked these interviews. Rock had a very strange charisma for an athlete

He's really grown on me as I learn so much about him from YT etc. He was not a dumb brute [eg, like Galento]. Gleason is right about fighters who are gentle outside the ring, though there were plenty who weren't . .

Jackie and Rocky, now that's a class act, thanks for posting!

This is one of the best things I’ve seen on KZread in a long long time

Two giants of italian america, and irish america.

Legendary!

Great video ! It would have to take the great one to pick a fight with Tony Galento.

-But i still think it was very unfair for Galento to not tell Gleason who he was And Galento should not have been doing all that cat calling and trying to ruin Jackie's act & maybe getting him fired.-Shame on Tony.

Wow, Jackie Gleason really was a real gentleman, well spoken, especially where he originated from. Rocky Marciano what can we say? The greatest!

Men and woman were so polite, respectful and professional back in the day unlike now with all the cursing and insults

Amen to that

The Rock refereed several of Bruno Sammartinos matches in WWWF When Bruno Was Champion. One of those matches was here in Denver, Colorado. It was to be in the stock yard stadium, an out door venue that sat about 2500. Demand for tickets was so great, Vince McMahon Sr (Owner/Operator/Promoter of World Wide Wrestling Federation) had to move the cars to the coliseum across the highway that sat 23K. Sold it out & still turned away thousands. The Fire Marshall turned a blind eye this one time & people sitting in the aisles. North Denver at one time was all Italian. My dad, grandfather & great grandfather said it seemed like every Italian in North Denver was there. They knew 3/4 of the crowd. Bruno went 45 minutes with Dr Jerry Graham with The Rock as ref. Bruno was champion on the east coast where his territory was 11 states & DC. He would leave the territory often to take on red hot heels in other territories such as Ray Stevens, Killer Kowalski, Harley Race & Fred Blassie. He loved Denver because the Italians were extremely supportive. I met him several times & broke bread him. My dad used to tell me Bruno, Graham & The Rock blew the roof off of the place

@gulfy09 These two greats came from Abruzzi. Rocky was American born, but his father Pierino was from Ripa Teatina, which is in the province of Chieti. Bruno was born & raised in the town of Pizzoferrato, very close Ripa Teatina. Rock was Italian speaking & could read & write in Italian as could Bruno. Rock's mother was from Campania. My dad's family came from Campobasso, a 45 minute drive

Thank u for this

From two of the greatest class AA Gentlemen Of all time via the entertainment medium of television.... What a treat. The rock was such a natural on TV. Totally genuine and unpretentious.

The Rock would've annihilated Tony Galento. Galento was tough, but not tough enough.

The term 'bucket of blood' was used as a nickname to describe bars that were famous for fights breaking out in them back when I was a little kid.

So true.

How ironic I roll across this video today when I just rode down Clinton st. In Newark. Wonder where that club was back then.

A generation of real men love these 2 rocky my brockton native brother and the great jackie Gleason my fathers generation the ww2 generation were the last of the real men of America 🇺🇸

A story about a bar In Jersey….😊 .

Back in the days when people were honest and hard working - not ego driven!

Get in the car Junior

And 8 yrs later The Brockton Bomber died in a plane crash….age 45

They don't make guys like that anymore

The Rock was one of the nicest classiest fighters of all time. Just watch out for Suzie Q. 😂

You want me to give you a description of how color television works?

So Jackie Gleason's boss doesn't tell him that he is going to fight a professional boxer, because he thinks it's funny.

no fight

Why they so short ?

Rocky Marciano wasn't made to host TV shows. That wasn't in his wheel house. A Renaissance like Mike Tyson could do that or Cassius Clay or George Foreman but he couldn't really do that even though they tried to sell him like that. Boxing was more popular then but they couldn't sell him cause he wasn't good at it. Everyone isn't good at everything

Archie moore was so washed up that he beat nino valdea and cleaned up the light heavyweight division. Harald johnson, maxim etc. Walcott was so washed up he just had his best career win with a spectecular knockout over one of the best fighters ever ezzard charles. Marciano beat Charles twice. Louis was old i give you that but still nobody besides charles was beating louis at that time. Schmeling beat him earlier

Unfortunately little Rocky was a terrible actor.
