Jackie Gleason Show

Famous quotes containing the words jackie, gleason and/or show:

    I have nothing against the Queen of England. Even in my heart I never resented her for not being Jackie Kennedy. She is, to my mind, a very gallant lady, victimized by whoever it is who designs the tops of her uniforms.
    Leonard Cohen (b. 1934)

    Conductor: What do you know about music?
    Eddie: Nothing I only wrote it, that’s all.
    Conductor: Then you have the best of me. You don’t have to listen to it.
    —James Gleason (1886–1959)

    He could walk, or rather turn about in his little garden, and feel more solid happiness from the flourishing of a cabbage or the growing of a turnip than was ever received from the most ostentatious show the vanity of man could possibly invent. He could delight himself with thinking, “Here will I set such a root, because my Camilla likes it; here, such another, because it is my little David’s favorite.”
    Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
