Premiere Show

Fri, Jan 20, 1961

Premiere of this short-lived game show hosted by Jackie Gleason. The game's design calls for four celebrity panelists to stick their heads through cut-outs in a large panel depicting a scene only the audience can see. The panelists ask Gleason questions and then guess the subject or theme of the tableau from his answers. In this, the first and last episode in which the game was played, panelists were Pat Carroll, Jan Sterling, Arthur Treacher, and Pat Harrington, Jr., and the panels represented "Pocahontas Rescues John Smith," "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polkadot Bikini," "Metropolitan Museum of Art," "The Burlesque 'Beef Trust Girls'," and "Goldilocks and the Three Bears."

Final Show

Fri, Jan 27, 1961

Second and last episode of this short-lived game show hosted by Jackie Gleason. Claiming that "honesty is the best policy," Gleason devotes the entire show to a good-humored account of "You're in the Picture" and reminiscences of other flops he has been involved with, including the film "Navy Blues." Apologizing for the previous week's disastrous premiere, Gleason runs through the origins of the show's concept, describes its initial appeal to him and his staff, and discusses the impact of the premiere on staff morale.
