Countdown to Christmas: Christmas with Jackie Gleason & The Honeymooners (1966)

 Jackie Gleason's 1966 Christmas show features a show-length Honeymooners episode, in which Ralph (Gleason) & Ed Norton (Art Carney) take up gigs as a sidewalk Santa and his Helper to make some extra money, but run afoul of a shady type (Robert Strauss) taking advantage of them.....

The open & close were edited off this print, so we won't hear from announcer Johnny Olson.


Aside from a stint on Bewitched, Strauss seemed to be typecast as gangster-types, something he didn't deserve.

No rating. Just a public service.
