JACKIE GLEASON's Grave & Miami Stomping Grounds from The HONEYMOONERS

[@gailreese4102]

"And Away We Go" was also a memorable catchphrase.

[@JayS03R]

very nice, Gleason deserves remembering

[@zenos.5315]

My all time favorite actor and comedian, Loved the Honeymooners. Much respect for the “Great one”

[@dodiegennaro6605]

I remember when the show moved from New York to Miami...by train so Jackie could golf all year. Loved everything he did !!!

[@janadeubner9883]

I grew up watching the Jackie Gleason show and the Honeymooners. I still watch and am entertained by the Honeymooners reruns on a classics tv channel. Really enjoyed this. Thank you Jordan!

[@michelespock6575]

I had the pleasure of meeting art carney , at a parade, when I was little ,such a nice guy ,, we use to travel all over during summer road trips, I have seen and meet alot of famous people,, I was so lucky my parents took us on vacation, station wagon packed and trailer ,,

[@Cardoo46]

Me too, except we had a tent! 🥴

[@michelespock6575]

Such fun

[@elenamena5424]

Can you mention some of the other famous people you met and what was your impressions?

[@marzipanmelusine4321]

Back in the day, my aunt was one of Gleason's hospice nurses. While she was otherwise very discreet about the case (she never disclosed any details about Gleason's personality, personal life, or health), my aunt did express frustration over the fact that one of the other nurses possibly sold insider info to the National Enquirer, et al. At the time, those publications featured headlines such as "Jackie Gleason's Sad Last Days", "Jackie Gleason on the Brink of Death", etc. and provided specific details that only an insider would have known, which was a damn shame. The offices for those tabloids were basically just up the street in Lantana and therefore were easy to contact for sending tips. The experience really opened my eyes to how those publications worked. BTW, Gleason was big on parapsychology, and when he died his library was donated to the University of Miami. It is now a special collection in their library. The bookplates in his books feature a figure that is exactly the same as the sculpture you showed outside the theater.

How Sweet It Is! I remember as a kid watching his variety show- his characters of Joe the Bartender, Reginald and the Poor Old Soul are classics. His larger than life personality also masked a really good actor. He made a movie called Gigot where he plays a deaf mute in Paris is fantastic and worth watching- it really shows his gift of mime. A true legend! I love how you are exploring Miami and welcome to SoFL Jordan! I am learning so much through your vlogs and you have a gift of telling an interesting story! Thank you! 😍🥰😊☀️🦩❤️

Crazy Guggenheim! Hya Joe! Hello Mr Dennehy!

[@Sandalphon9]

Bang Zoom! Thanks for all the laughs. Rest In Peace ❤

[@thepinkpollyanna766]

Hi Jordan!!! I just wanted to drop in & add that my Dad, was one of Jackie’s life long best friends, from back in their NY hey day’s & he was Uncle Jackie to us kids!!! When my parents got a divorce in 1970, Jackie asked my Dad to move down near him in Florida & so, my Dad eventually did… They always hung out & got drunk together, in Miami or up in Fort Myers, where my Dad ended up living until he died in January 1987 also, when I believe Jackie died after my Father, in that summer… They were best buddies, my Dad did travel with him a lot, he was on a few movie sets & he was even became friends with Burt Reynolds, too… And, they both were excellent musicians, my Dad played not only horn type instruments but, he also played the drums & they would jam out together, a lot… Jackie was one of the most amazing people you’ll ever love to meet but, he did have a very bad temper at times I do remember, if he got pissed off but, that was very far & few in between!!! LOL… What your talking about him hanging out at different bars, with all the different people, or out playing golf, I’m absolutely pretty sure that wherever he was, my Dad would be with him also, wearing those crazy & silly golf hats, while golfing!!! LOL… There is so much more I know about Uncle Jackie, from him calling our house to speak to my Dad or letters he would right to my Dad & so on but, I’m gonna just keep my post simple so, I just wanted to share this with ya & thanks for the Jackie Gleason memories & memorial… I think one of these days, I’ll take a ride down to his grave & leave flowers for him, I’m only about 2 & a half, to 3 hours to South Beach, from here in the St Lucie area… Thank you so much for such an amazing tribute, for such a wonderful & talented man!!! 🥰

[@ab942]

“And away we go” was said on everyJackie Gleason show. I believe at the beginning. It just shows how old I am.

[@Navy35]

One of these days Alice one of these days- pow right in the kisser . To the moon Alice ! You’re a real riot Alice

[@BethCampbell-b9c]

Me too!!❤️❤️❤️

[@joane5777]

Same here!! Us kids loved him~ 🌟

[@johnlawlor7854]

It would have been cool if "And away we go!!" was on his gravestone like Mel Blanc has "That all folks!" on his.

[@michelespock6575]

To the moon Alice, great saying he used , he was a true legend,,

[@evagengler9666]

Wow, Jordan, your vlog brought back a lot of good memories. This was one of the few shows that my dad actually sat down to watch. What I remember most is the intro to "The Jackie Gleason Show," the aerial shots of Miami Beach (which I would later have the pleasure of visiting three times) and the distinctive theme music by the Nelson Riddle Orchestra (I would later purchase the album that NR did with Linda Ronstadt). Jackie Gleason was a great entertainer and it is very nice of you to revive his memory in all of us that were lucky enough to have seen him in his heyday.

[@gailreese4102]

It's the first show that I can remember watching. Always loved Jackie Gleason! (Red Skelton was my second)

[@Navy35]

At the port authority of New York City, there is a statue Jackie Gleason as Ralf “ the bus driver “

[@bobwilliamson9562]

He was one hell of pool player as well.

[@kimramey8361]

Thankyou, I always wondered how he got started. Very informative, To the moon Alice!

[@pm914407]

That was great. Thanks Jordan, for sharing!

[@sherrymckay5184]

Wonderful vlog for a wonderful guy . Well done. I really miss Jackie Gleason. No other comedian could ever compare to him .

[@raydash1424]

I remember the Jackie Gleason show and throughly enjoyed this vlog as it brought back good memories.

[@shaunstrasser1]

Just watched Smokey And The Bandit parts one and two

[@janetones6221]

Awesome Jordan! Jackie Gleason an indelible character! Enjoyed the Miami Florida vacay! That's a lovely gravesite where he is buried. Thank-you for this trip to the moon! 💛💟💛💟

[@syreetaabney6968]

It was so good to see you Jordan and i really enjoyed watching this video today. Yes Jackie Gleasin was so funny i loved him in the movie Smokey and The Bandit. I also enjoyed the honeymooners. Thanks for sharing his video with us you are the best and you really made my day, thank you for all you.

[@denisesmith2745]

I’m a flight attendant. Jackie Gleason was a passenger and before takeoff, the captain said…” and away we go”

[@EconomicRefugees]

He was awesome !!

[@cyclone20021]

Another good video Jordan. I loved Jackie Gleason’s work and I appreciate the effort you put in to take us along on your journeys, Gary in Melbourne. 🇦🇺

[@mrDCunningham]

I really appreciate your research for every vlog. Excellent work for a great man. 👍🏻😎

[@BONFIRE168]

I think the convention center next door is where Cassius Clay won the title from Sonny Liston..

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

That's for another trip! :)

[@jimallison6125]

I grew up in Miami and my Dad loved watching his show. I remember how proud we were when he moved his show down to Miami Beach.

[@margaretparker8781]

Liked the vlog from Margaret P from England

[@maryamalfayed223]

No one will ever forget Jackie Gleason he entertained us for decades and kept us laughing ... RIP JACKIE🌹

[@misstoni3901]

Ive enjoyed watching The Honeymooners reruns since I was a child. Clean humor and loved watching it with my parents. Jordan, I hope you won't get tired of me saying that I enjoy watching you and Jah's v logs.

[@ridingtheroad185]

The Honeymooners came on just as I was sent to bed. BUT my door when opened a crack you could see the TV. Problem was staying quiet so my Grandpa wouldn't hear me as his chair was only feet from my door! GREAT memories of growing up.

[@jamesbonvissuto9246]

Iam a big fan I wish I knew when was here in Miami I would of took you out to launch I live in Miami you have great show. Thank. U

[@yolandamorales7526]

Great info.on Jackie thanks jorden take care

[@maritzaagosto1793]

I used to watch his show when I was little . I'd say my favorite scene when he played the bar tender . His guest come in and sing Red Roses for a Blue Lady ... I can't remember who the guy was . I love the Honeymooners . My favorite Alice is Audrey Meadows . No one else could ever portray Alice like can .

[@marieduran6286]

I wanted to comment that the statue in front of the theater is doing that dance that Jackie does whenever he would say, "How sweet it is!". Thank you for an good vlog, and that place is beautiful--Miami is a wonderful city.

[@srhew6116]

Although I never heard of him, Jackie Gleason sounds like an amazing guy.

[@JimFothergill]

Nice job as always Jordan!!!!!

[@judithdonnelly8824]

Thanks for another awesome vlog!!

[@vayabroder729]

I love all his work; especially The Honeymooners. Would you believe that a few years back his widow sold their house in Ft. Lauderdale fully furnished with all their furniture for less than $500,000.00? Loved his line to Ed: “you are a mental case!….”🤣😂

[@karenleemallonee684]

I was never a big fan of his, but I can't tell you why...I don't know. It's not because I didn't like him, or the things I saw him in, ? This is a great vlog, Jordan, it made me want to take another look at Jackie & his career. What a beautiful resting place, so peaceful & lovely! Thank you, Jordan!

[@alancumming6407]

In the late 1980's the BBC ran The Honeymooners late on a Saturday night. Although screened after midnight - it was certainly worth waiting up for. A great tribute Jordan to an exceptionally funny man. Many thanks.

[@ryank.1214]

Well done!

[@Bob-jg3vq]

Jackie Gleason is 1 of my all-time favorites. That makes this vlog 1 of my favorites. I will always be thankful to my Dad for getting me interested in the Honeymooners, that made me a lifetime Jackie Gleason fan. I loved Jackie in The Hustler and Smokey and The Bandit. Great job on the Vlog!!

[@tieroneasset678]

Remember having drinks with Jackie at the Jockey Club in Miami

[@cookingartguy2170]

Went there a few years back to see his final resting place and wouldn't you know they were holding the funeral for his wife and they were all gathered around his final resting place so of course I could not approach and disturb their privacy. I'll have to get back there one of these days. Drove by the cemetery in Fort Lauderdale the other day where Leslie Nielsen is, I've been there a couple of times. And Esther Rolle from Good Times is a little north of there in Pompano Beach, I brought her flowers a couple of times. Saw Morrissey at the Jackie Gleason theater a few years back.

[@carolkaser2305]

Hi from Clear Lake and Field if Dreams. Another good vlog. One of my favorite comedians.

[@brianhumphrey6791]

Sheriff Buford T Justice

[@OuterGalaxyLounge]

As I'm sure others have pointed out, "And Away We Go!" was one of his catch phrases. He said it at the beginning of his variety show. That abstract statue of him at the theater depicts him in his "and away we go" stance.

[@dianeritchey2775]

Great vlog Jordan! Jackie was one of the greats!!

[@pegschwalbach2500]

That was a great video! As a child I thought of him as Ralph Cramden and that's it. Theni saw the movie where he plays a mute bum in love with a beautiful lady and ii couldn't tear myself away. He was wonderful! From then on I had a new appreciation for the talent he really was. Thanks again.

[@ruthjesse6759]

Loved Art Carney. I did not like Jackie screaming and screaming to his wife and saying mean thing to his wife on the Honeymooners. But in the end Jackie loved his wife and giving her big kiss’s. Thank u Jordon The Lion.

[@vayabroder729]

That was part of the skit; Ralph was a loudmouth but absolutely harmless and absolutely in love with Alice who had him wrapped around her finger.

[@micheleclifford8969]

I’m 64 Just watched Johnny Cash Home. I Love All This 🌹🌹🌹🙋‍♀️👍Ty And GodBless You Jordon

[@thebiffer100]

As a youngster I will always remember the joy and excitement with eager anticipation the beginning of the Jackie Gleason Show that begins with "LIVE....from Miami Beach Florida"......it's the Jackie Gleason show with the Sammy Spear Orchestra and the June Taylor Dancers as the helicopter skims the then sprawling Miami Beach coastline over the sparkling waves of the ocean. Damn.

[@nikkid3235]

Cool.

[@goldenhoneysilk]

I remember Gleason, thought he was a funny man. what a beautiful memorial. wow lovely home he had . thanks Jordan for this nice vlog of Gleason. be safe

[@lisabudascasey1234]

His favorite movie I loved as a kid was Gigot

[@ranoosamagic9068]

His grave is so beautiful and comfortable to see same of his music

[@jeffreardon3969]

I think that bar in NYC was :" Toot Shores" Joe Demaggio use to go there as well. Athletes and stars all went to it.

[@jasonmcgovern1364]

Hi Jordan, I love that episode of 'The Golden Girls', I like them all really. That looks a nice Cemetery and an impressive grave. That was a lot of cigarettes to smoke, how did he find the time. I don't know how he got away with not learning his lines. Well, he certainly lived the high life, and it looks a lovely house to end your days in. Great vlog Jordan.

[@QuinceyG]

I loved Jackie. :) This was so cool to see

[@ondreaheald5223]

Very interesting, I didn’t know ANY of this about Jackie Gleason! Loved the Honeymooners & I still watch it! PS, enjoyed your blog on Shelley Winters, & how the two of you became friends! You’re the best!

[@MoviemaniaNick]

Amazing video Jordan. Great actor and comedian. Between The Honeymooners and Smokey an the Bandit. Classics!

[@nancyfernandes6696]

His music was also Awesome

[@cali1955]

Ty Jordon great live stream

[@sg2823]

Live from Miami Beach the fun filled capital of the word! Jordan I've been waiting for you to vlog the Great One! I can't say enough about his work. Indeed I heard he could be bad. Funny story: My uncles played in a band in the 1940's at the Oriental Theater in Chicago, Jackie was on the bill. My uncle said: "Jackie, Boy he laid an egg"! Went golfing for the first time ever in my life a few weeks ago could not resist saying Hello ball! ...And away we go!

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

That's great!

[@jillyjill2060]

I watched hours of honeymooners!! I love Jackie Gleason!! thanks so much for doing this vlog i love him!! the golden girls clips were fun to!! thanks so much!!!

[@jamescox5626]

I worked in Hollywood on sitcoms for many years and met a lot of interesting people. We had a guy who was our dialogue coach on “What a Country” with Yakov Smirnoff. Any way he had been a junior agent in New York City at the time of the Jackie Gleason Show . Each Saturday it was his job to walk down a few blocks and escort Jackie to the stage. He said that as he rounded the corner he would hear Jackie and his wife arguing at the top of their lungs. The whole neighborhood heard it. He would have to go up to their door and wait until there was a lull in the yelling before he knocked . By the way his name was Bob Monroe and he studied acting at the Strassburg school in NY and he sat right behind Marlyn Monroe. He said that she was always late.

[@1189paris]

Elvis Presley made his national television debut on the Jackie Gleason produced "Stage Show" starring the Dorsey brothers which was on right before the classic 39 episodes of "The Honeymooners" back in 1956 on CBS television.

[@joeleeper214]

🌴🌴🌴👍 Thanks Jordan, great volg ! For a great man. B safe Happy Volging say Ho to Jah 😀 Joe.....

My old stumping ground including the cemetery where I have family member resting

[@definitedoll]

Jackie Gleason was a bandleader with a good orchestra back in the 1950s. You can still find his albums out there if you go look for them I think there's one that's called Memories to get Misty by.

[@esthergarcia1373]

I liked seeing his variety show. Didn’t know the Honeymooners only ran for one season. My husband is more of a Honeymooners fan. I’m glad he didn’t sue The Flintstones. That would not have gone well for his career. Beautiful vlog in Jackie’s honor and very informative. Thanks Jordan. ❤️🙏🏻🌴🌺

[@linapagliari8003]

I remember Jackie Gleason on radio in the early 1950’s, wonderful even then!

[@6thwatergateplumber]

He was a class act from beginning to the very end, and what a fabulous resting place. It's totally him.

[@bobwilliamson9562]

When my daughter was 3 years old we would wake up and find my daughter in my recliner rocking out to The Honeymooners Show.

[@donnadreyer2558]

I remember watching " The Honeymooners' amazing Television Program

[@scclif]

My Dad loved Jackie Gleason Red Skelton Bonanza and Matt Dillon ,didn't say Gun Smoke . I really think he like The Flintstones too . But he especially loved JG ..Those were good times at our house. My Dad was rarely such an animated extrovert as he was listing to the intro of the Jackie Gleason Show. He would always mimic Jackie so many times. Great memories. Thank you Jordan!👍👍

[@huntercohen4997]

The Honeymooners is still the greatest TV show of all time, no question.

[@lottietucker3082]

Art, Audrey and Joyce all hated that Jackie didn't like to rehearse, but they all got along and respected each other. Joyce tells a story here on KZbin that Art Carney was hard to get to know. He was a very nice man but liked to have an air of mystery about himself. If they all didn't get along they would not have had the chemistry that they had. It would have showed. Once the actors understood how Jackie worked, they were able to fall in line.

[@randiallen55]

I love Jackie Gleason! Always reminds me of my dad we would laugh so hard!

[@marthaturki4891]

Was the Hotel closed or just the theater? Another good one Jordan!❤️

[@davidcreedon880]

My grandparents lived 2 blocks away from Jackie when he lived on Chauncey St. in Brooklyn. There is a statue of him as Ralph outside the Port Authority bus terminal in Manhattan.
