Just thought I'd post this list I've compiled for anyone that might be planning a trip to the Paley Center:

Jackie Gleason hosts The Colgate Comedy Hour (9/2/51) (http://www.paleycenter.org/collection/item/?q=jackie+gleason&p=1&item=T78:0234) - Gleason does a short sketch where he plays a man coming home after being fired. This is said to have been sort of a "test run" for what he had in mind for The Honeymooners.
Cavalcade of Stars: "Honeymooners Contest" (1952) (http://www.paleycenter.org/collection/item/?q=honeymooners+contest&p=1&item=B:16100) - Not sure what this is. Could be a mislabeled "Quiz Show" from 1951, but worth taking a look at just in case.
Audrey Meadows on Person to Person (4/23/54) (http://www.paleycenter.org/collection/item/?q=audrey+meadows&p=1&item=T86:1571) - Audrey and sister Jayne are interviewed by Edward R. Murrow. The Honeymooners is probably discussed.
Audrey Meadows on The Dinah Shore Chevy Show (1/18/59) (http://www.paleycenter.org/collection/item/?q=audrey+meadows&p=1&item=B:50380) - Audrey takes part in a sketch that has a similar plot to "Boys and Girls Together."
Art Carney and Audrey Meadows in The Rexall TV Special (3/3/59) (http://www.paleycenter.org/collection/item/?q=audrey+meadows&p=1&item=T83:0584) - Art & Audrey appear in several segments together.
Art Carney surprise American Scene Magazine appearance (5/16/64) (http://www.paleycenter.org/collection/item/?q=art+carney&p=1&item=T:11865) - At one point, "Carney demonstrates the way Ed Norton would bowl."

Not that I know of.
I wonder, if they survived? I remember reading, about the Person to Person interview, in Audrey Meadows Autobiography...
