A Jackie Gleason Show In Color DVD "Bonus Feature"
Review: "Art Carney Presents Jackie With An Award.”
DVD: In 2022, this was finally rereleased onto DVD. It’s on Jackie Gleason’s Timeless Treasures and it is attached to “Two Below” (aka “Retreat To The Basement”), “TV Game of The Week”, “The Adoption” (‘66 version), Opening/June Taylor Dancers/Monologue from the 11/23/68 episode of the Jackie Gleason Show, “Six Months To Love” (Color version), “Alice’s Birthday” (Color version), “Lawsuit” (Color version), “Hot Tip” (Color version), “The New Bowling Ball” (Color version), “Norton Moves In” (Color version), “The New Manager”, Jackie saying Goodnight from the 4/19/69 episode of the Jackie Gleason show episode, “Big Sell”, a clip of the Great Gleason Express from the 9/20/65 episode of the Steve Lawrence Show & the 2006 documentary Jackie Gleason: Genius At Work.
Air Date: Sat. 2/25/67
This is not really a bonus feature, but it does feature Art Carney dressed up as Ed Norton talking to Jackie with Gene Kelly right by Jackie's side. I figured I would review it. It's on disc 1 and it's a part of the episode that aired on Sat. 2/25/67
Art Carney comes out as Ed Norton with a fake manhole cover that says award. Art makes a comment to Jackie in regards to his weight. Ed says that this is his first time on TV. What about the other times like the time he was on Beat The Clock? He asks Gene if he can wave to his wife's mom. Gene says yes. So Ed waves to a lady backstage by turning hsi back and waving. Ha!
Jackie is laughing during all this as Ed gives him the "Sewer Workers Humanitarian Award." He calls it the Soggy Award. He says that they give it to people off all walks of life. He lists people that have been given the award supposedly. He gives it to Jackie and than asks Gene to hold onto it. Gene does and walks off stage.
Ed than reads a funny poem that the sewer workers wrote in honor of his birthday. In the poem, Jackie's then real-life age is mentioned which is 51. In the poem, Ed says that before Jackie knows it, he will be 52.
Ehhh, not much of a Honeymooners skit if it is one.
