Cledus: "Look, when we say we're gonna do a job, we do a job"
Bandit: "It's me they're after. They don't even know Cledus Snow exists"
Cledus: "Oh, they don't? Well, I'll tell you what we're gonna do. We're just gonna introduce 'em to the boy. So move over, good buddy, because The Snowman is coming through"

Tonight in 1956 — Ralph had an accident on the way to the Safest Bus Driver award ceremony on THE HONEYMOONERS.
"The Safety Award” was episode 34 of "The Classic 39."
It's streaming on PlutoTV.

Tonight in 1955 —Ralph and Alice Kramden adopted a baby.
“The Adoption” is the only HONEYMOONERS sketch that legitimately makes me cry.
It’s part of “The Lost Episodes,” but as good as anything in "The Classic 39.”

This made me laugh! Jackie Gleason and Bob Hope, doing a drag show in Central Park in 1975. These two were hilarious 🤣🤣😂😂 #comedy #jackiegleason #BobHope #oldies

It is a good thing that Jackie Gleason and Bob Hope aren't alive, and doing a show in Nashville, or Memphis. The Tennessee governor would have them working a PRISON chain-gang one night after their concert

For the #RightWing, #DragShowBans have never been about the children or the clothes or the #comedy.
They have always been about the cruelty.
I'm old enough to remember this. It wasn't the only time they were in drag. I can still hear #BobHope's voice in my head, complaining about how his girdle is killing him, on one of his many TV shows.
You also have:
* "Uncle Milty" #MiltonBerle, who was famous for his #drag comedy.
* #FlipWilson, who repeatedly donned a dress to play "Geraldine Jones" with hilarity.

* #DustinHoffman as #Tootsie.
* #RobinWilliams as #MrsDoubtfire.
* The entire cast of #MontyPython.
* Kids watched an animated #Mulan passing as a male and #BugsBunny in drag.
* And who can forget #HarveyKorman on "The #CarolBurnett Show", as "Mother Marcus" in "As the Stomach Churns."

“It was always so much fun being around him….He was never depressed by failure or seduced by applause. He couldn’t stand snobbery, fakes, or social climbers. Jackie was street people. He related to the masses."

Hooker and Gondorf pull a con on Macalinski, an especially nasty mob boss with the help of Veronica, a new grifter.
