The Jackie Gleason Show
1966
Ralph Kramden: (visiting in Ireland) You know, I never knew that Jackie Gleason was Irish. Ed Norton: Oh yeah, I knew it. I read it in a TV magazine once. His whole family came over from Ireland during the potato famine. Ralph Kramden: Oh. Ed Norton: In fact, I think they caused it! Ralph Kramden: That Gleason is a little chubby, isn't he? Ed Norton: Oh, he certainly is. (laughs) Ralph Kramden: That Art Carney put on a few pounds too, you know.
Ralph Kramden: (rehearsing a TV commercial in England) And I say, "Oh, it is my good wife, Lady Penelope Farthingay, Duchess of Rathbone. Blimey, you look lovely." Alice Kramden: "Blimey"? Ralph Kramden: That's right, "blimey". That's the way all of those high-falutin' English talk. They use words like "blimey", "tally-ho", "yoicks"... Alice Kramden: If you ask me, we're the "yoicks" for doing this.
Milton Berle: (during a 1969 curtain call) You look fantastic. Jackie Gleason: Let me tell you what happened. I dropped 60 pounds. Milton Berle: On whom?
Jackie Gleason: The Miami audience is the greatest audience in the world.
