The Honeymooners Returned…Sort Of
Although the show ended after one season, The Honeymooners characters didn’t die on stage at the Adelphi Theater. After The Honeymooners, went off the air, Jackie Gleason still had a job and a vision for these characters, and he was asked to bring them back as part of The Jackie Gleason Show, a revived version of the 1952 variety show that he was known for.
Carney and Gleason revived the characters, but the actresses in the roles of Alice and Trixie were recast with Sue Ane Langdon and Patricia Wilson. It didn’t last long, as there were only two Honeymooners sketches on the show.
