3	GameShow hosted by Creator/JackieGleason for Creator/{{CBS}} in 1961 where four panelists (Creator/PatHarringtonJr, Pat Carroll, Jan Sterling, and Arthur Treacher) stuck their heads into a scene and had to guess what it was based on Gleason's responses to their questions. The panelist who guessed the scene got 100 CARE packages donated in their name, while the packages were donated in Gleason's name if nobody got it. The series was sponsored by Kellogg's and L&M Cigarettes, with Dennis James pitching some commercials for the former.

5	A week after its January 20th premiere, Jackie Gleason aired an on-screen apology for making the show (part of this apology can be seen [[http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5kwd0_jackie-gleason-you-re-in-the-pictur_creation here]]). Gleason finished out his network commitment with a one-on-one informal talk show entitled ''The Jackie Gleason Show'', which ran until March 24.

7	!!This show provides examples of:
8	* BecomingPartOfTheImage: The concept behind this game show.
9	* EliminationCatchphrase: "I'm sorry, your time is up."
10	* INeedAFreakingDrink: During the apology, an audience member ran onstage and poured alcohol in Gleason's coffee cup. While drinking from it, Gleason realized what had happened.
11	-->'''Gleason:''' It's a new blend called "Chock Full O'Booze".
12	* ItsAllMyFault: In his apology, Gleason takes full responsibility for laying the egg, while at the same time paying tribute to the experienced and talented people who came together to make the show happen.
13	* ProductionForeshadowing: Near the end of the apology, Gleason mentions that "This isn't a requiem for a heavyweight." While the reference [[note]](''Requiem For A Heavyweight'', the famous 1956 episode of ''Playhouse 90'' written by Creator/RodSerling)[[/note]] and joke [[note]](Gleason's weight, a RunningGag on ''Series/TheHoneymooners'')[[/note]] are somewhat obvious, it should be noted that Gleason starred in the 1962 film adaptation of ''Film/RequiemForAHeavyweight''.
14	* ProductPlacement: L&M Cigarettes and Kellogg's were the sponsors. The latter only stayed on for the first two shows; their official reason for pulling their sponsorship was "This isn't the show we bought", though the real reason was that they were offended by Gleason's "Chock Full O'Booze" joke.
