I’m talking about the episode that aired in 1951 where Jackie did what many say was probably a trial run of the Honeymooners. Anyone have it?

Bump

Just in case anyones wondering, it’s at the Paley Center for the Media in New York City. HerE’s the information. Such a shame it isn’t on DVD nor can it be viewed online.

Also, there’s this box set that has a partial inaccurate description

“Fred Allen, Ed Sobol, Murray Leonard, Hal Sawyer, James V. Kern, William Asher, Donald O'Connor, Joe Silver, Eddie Cantor, Peter Conlow, Eddie Garr, Ray Bolger, Charles Friedman, Phil Regan, Gloria Patrice, Jimmy Durante, Jackie Gleason”

Why is it inaccurate? Well, the dates don’t add up. Jackie’s appearances were dates that are not listed here. One of them is 9/2/51. The one that has the trail run of his Honeymooners sketches.

Yeah the other one was June 10, 1951.

I think it's a fake description.
