After The honeymooners, Gleason asked for and got a train for his entire company to travel from California to Florida, to do another TV show.

Safer: "Was there a bar on the train?"

Gleason: (laughing) "Was there a bar on the train? The train was a bar."

I was reading an article on Rush Limbaugh once and the author had dinner with Rush and described it as “how Jackie Gleason would have lived.”

If you can spare 20 minutes to watch this, it’s worth your time. Back when Hollywood produced real stars, real talent, and real men.
