Creator Backlash: Disavowed by Gleason the week after it aired. He also continued to discuss it on occasion in interviews, including the below Johnny Carson appearance more than 20 years later.
Missing Episode: On the October 18, 1985 episode of The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, Johnny Carson claimed that a second episodenote (which was prerecorded for future broadcast but was shelved due to the premiere's negative reception) had been made with him on the panel (ostensibly to promote his daytime game Who Do You Trust?). At one point, Carson recalled, he asked Gleason "Would you tell me what I'm doing with my head stuck in this picture?"
One-Episode Wonder: Only applies to the original You're in the Picture format, which lasted for just one episode despite a second one being reportedly taped. The second broadcast episode was a half-hour monologue/apology by Gleason, after which the series was rebranded to The Jackie Gleason Show and changed format.
