I never got to meet Jackie but a business partner of mine was one of the drummers on Gleesons show in the sixties told me Jackie had a heart of gold . Seems my friend's wife had a bad appendix attack and it would be $600.00 for the operation and hospital . My friend couldn't afford this and when Jackie found out he gave my friend $1,000.00 cash . My friend was stunned ! Only one condition . My friend could tell no one . Jackie even went to the hospital to see my friend's wife in Miami . When my friend tried to repay Jackie a year later , Jackie would not accept it ! My friend and his wife are passed on now so I take great pleasure in telling everyone just what kind of man Jackie Gleeson was . GOD SPEED JACKIE .

GREAT story! I recall Gleeson on TV when I was very young, being a kid in the 60's. He was an 'older' actor to me when he did Smokey & the Bandit when I was 17 and it came out in 1977. He's the kind of performer that once you see him play a part, you can't imagine anyone else doing it no matter how illustrious the others considered for the part may also have been. Your story of his charity always reminds me of stories of Elvis back then too. My first job was as a radio DJ starting at age 14 and we got the news over teletypes back then to read on the air. Elvis would occasionally make side news like in one instance he was kinda disguised and walked up to an older lady looking at new Cadillac's in the showroom window in Memphis . Conversationally he asked her which one she liked best and she pointed out one. He went inside and bought it for her on the spot while she was still looking at it from the street. It was something he did time to time and the dealer knew it was him so he just handed Elvis the keys because he knew he was good for it. He was able to just pleasurably shock that little old lady, it was something he did I think a little more than we know. I also think people who came from tough or modest means often understand how life is for the average person far better than those who wanted for little. Many of Elvis' gifts like this were reported at the time but many were like Gleason's, done on the QT with a promise of not telling who did it. I found out about the unpublished gifts in reading in later years from associates who also described some that matched the ones I'd got off the Telex back then. Those simply came out as "Elvis gifted another fan today" with little particulars. It was the later retellings by his people that filled in blanks when I recalled the original short news report. They were both of another time Elvis and Gleeson. Both will be remembered for many many years yet.

A true Legend a one off and never to be repeated.

I grew up with Jackie Gleason on the TV and in the movies - I always remember the opening credits for his Miami based prime time TV show, the lush big band music playing, the long shot coming ashore into glamorous Miami Beach, the announcer calling the guests and the band and then Jackie, nattily dressed and carefully groomed, the ever present cig in one hand and a cocktail in the other, appeared, beaming to the audience applause and crooning the infamous line "how sweet it is!" My father, who rarely laughed out loud or showed amusement would chuckle and laugh before Jackie had ever cracked a joke. Jackie Gleason was a larger than life character yet he had an everyday, working class Joe attitude that I think a lot of people identified with. He lived life on his own terms with no regrets and created a legacy very few can match. The Great One.

My father's favorite TV show was the Honeymooners and we watched it as a family. It brings back sweet memories..

I remember watching Jackie Gleason on TV, when I was a kid in the late 1960's. The Jackie Gleason show was live from Miami and I thought that it was good. Love from Marysville California

The most kindest, generous, funny, serous, loving person I have ever met.

I miss characters like Jackie Gleason. Smart, insightful, funny and talented of course. This little interview teaches you so much about life. Take risks, fail and get up again even if you have to apologize, try to live your life and most of all have fun.

When this happens you realize that life is an illusion similar to a dream as I worked in Hollywood with zero experience and instantly became the highest-paid producer.

Love just honestly love and respect him. He had mannerisms and a communication of comedy I don't think anyone can duplicate

Tremendous charisma. A true star.

My dad and I loved the Honeymooners and his show from Miami, what a legend.

Growing up my dad and I watched Jackie every Sunday. And away we went!

He "nailed" the character Buford T. Justice, and IMO, I don't think anyone else could have done better.

And, as you might know, Gleason made up and/or improvised virtually all of those hilarious lines, according to director and screenwriter Hal Needham.

@@bigmon19 That was the best scene and I don't think that the movie would have ever been as popular if Gleason wasn't cast for the role, as he made that movie.

Yes I remember this interview, very excellent. Gleason was "the great one" he could do anything. What a great comedic actor.

The Greatest! A few years back I had asked my adult children if they knew anything about Jackie Gleason. Nope. How about "To the moon, Alice"? Nope. Said he had a hugely successful variety show on T.V. Asked them to guess from where it was broadcast. Hollywood? Nope. New York? Nope. Told them this guy was SO big, they did the show "Live from Miami Beach"! What an actor. What an entertainer. A true star!

I grew up sitting too close to his face, Art Carney and Learning to Love the String music He Wrote! He had hit after hit after hit. Jackie Gleason's string music, the sheet music produced that he composed, was H A R D! HARD, it was Hard to play but we always busted out Laughing every time we played it. We Loved Jackie Gleason, the Great One.

Hands down one of THE BEST personalities out there! 💯 So original.

Back in 1984 when I was college I would see him around Fort Lauderdale, I thought he was the type that would not let fans approach, but I was wrong he was a nice guy.

Jackie was and still is..one of tv's most creative and beloved clowns..(Crying)I still miss him.

A man lived his life the way he wanted to do it.❤

What I see & take from this interview, is Jackie's forever sadness that his mother never had any sort of happiness. That, is achingly sad. I loved him as a performer. I still ache for his pain. xx

I remember watching this with my dad when I was 14 years old. I had to. Dad always made us watch 60 Minutes on Sundays at 6, after car work and homework. When we watched it, it was one of the few times my dad would laugh. I miss him. And thank you 60 Minutes for all these wonderful memories and stories. I still watch you every week.

THE MAN! Miss Jackie so much! Watched his show from Miami Beach religiously every Saturday night with my parents. What memories. The one and only Great One❤

Favorite line from the honeymooners I still chuckle when I think about it… Norton:Mind if I smoke Ralph? Ralph: I wouldn’t care if ya burned 😂

Truly one of the greatest of all time!!! There will never be another like him

I grew up in Ireland in the 70s and 80s, a dark and dismal place. But for some reason I was able to watch the ‘Jackie Gleason show live from Miami Beach’. It was safe harmless fun for Catholic Ireland. But, there was something about it the told me there was another world out there, life was a struggle but there was also humor. The scenes at the Bar with him singing, I will never forget. Thank you Jackie for a little bit of fun. He said it ‘it was just funny’, and sometimes that all we need!

Loved watching "Honeymooners"😊

Its a shame this clip is short ,I could've listened to him for hours .

He always reminds me of my late father and his generation. We shall not see their like again.

A superb entertainer, a superb human being. May he rest in peace.
