And Away We Go!
Jackie Gleason’s last show from his longtime home at CBS Studio 50 in New York, aired May 23, 1964. After the summer break, the show debuted from The Miami Beach Convention Center on September 26.
Below is a photo of Jackie and well known gossip columnist Hedda Hopper on the train from New York to Miami. Gleason had done another famous train trip/tour from NY to LA, and like this one, it was a non stop party all the way. More to come in the next post!
Would he have minded Amtrak’s Silver Meteor to get to Miami these days?
Jackie hated planes…
