This was a real treat to see. Watching one of the greatest boxers of all time interviewing one of the greatest entertainers of all time. Truly two of the greatest!

Marciano spoke very well and was very articulate in his delivery.

Jackie Gleason such a likeable man.

Damn I wish Rock did this show for many more years. I liked these interviews. Rock had a very strange charisma for an athlete

2 of the most famous guys in the 🌎 back then......golden era

I knew the Rock by stories my dad used to talk about an I knew Gleason from being a kid watching reruns of the honeymooners in the 80s, always cracked me up when he would scream and hollar😂 priceless lol

The decoram was a Master piece. The amazing part of these bye gone era's was the decoram and professionalism. And the fact that no matter what else happens, the show must go own attitude.

Man, I was a little kid when these two great men were in their prime and what an honor to observe the folks who lived in those days, they were amazing.

One of the best interviews by both of these gentleman two of the best ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Two giants of italian america, and irish america.

Marciano spoke so well, seemed to be such a nice honest guy ! What a beast he was in his day. Very sad the way he died. Would love to go to Brockton someday to see where the rock came from !!

Great video ! It would have to take the great one to pick a fight with Tony Galento.

Jackie and Rocky, now that's a class act, thanks for posting!

This is one of the best things I’ve seen on RU-vid in a long long time

Legendary!

Men and woman were so polite, respectful and professional back in the day unlike now with all the cursing and insults

Legend has it The cigarette is still burning today.

The Rock refereed several of Bruno Sammartinos matches in WWWF When Bruno Was Champion. One of those matches was here in Denver, Colorado. It was to be in the stock yard stadium, an out door venue that sat about 2500. Demand for tickets was so great, Vince McMahon Sr (Owner/Operator/Promoter of World Wide Wrestling Federation) had to move the cars to the coliseum across the highway that sat 23K. Sold it out & still turned away thousands. The Fire Marshall turned a blind eye this one time & people sitting in the aisles. North Denver at one time was all Italian. My dad, grandfather & great grandfather said it seemed like every Italian in North Denver was there. They knew 3/4 of the crowd. Bruno went 45 minutes with Dr Jerry Graham with The Rock as ref. Bruno was champion on the east coast where his territory was 11 states & DC. He would leave the territory often to take on red hot heels in other territories such as Ray Stevens, Killer Kowalski, Harley Race & Fred Blassie. He loved Denver because the Italians were extremely supportive. I met him several times & broke bread him. My dad used to tell me Bruno, Graham & The Rock blew the roof off of the place

Class act.

Wow, Jackie Gleason really was a real gentleman, well spoken, especially where he originated from. Rocky Marciano what can we say? The greatest!

2 Incredible Legends!

From two of the greatest class AA Gentlemen Of all time via the entertainment medium of television.... What a treat. The rock was such a natural on TV. Totally genuine and unpretentious.

👀Man is it a treat to see Marciano in this capacity, something I never knew existed til recently. I've heard some of his voiceovers and the first time I thought, "Is that really him? He's got all his marbles and he's not a brute."

The Rock would've annihilated Tony Galento. Galento was tough, but not tough enough.

Thank u for this

Great to see this

Great old time!

Rocky vs Tony would have been a great fight

How ironic I roll across this video today when I just rode down Clinton st. In Newark. Wonder where that club was back then.

Nice to see 👀 thanks for posting 📫 #valuable

So true.

A generation of real men love these 2 rocky my brockton native brother and the great jackie Gleason my fathers generation the ww2 generation were the last of the real men of America 🇺🇸

Rocky Marciano look like a great guy! Bucket of blood was used in that rocky movie where the gym was called bucket of blood i think

When men where men

A story about a bar In Jersey….😊 .

Back in the days when people were honest and hard working - not ego driven!

Get in the car Junior

The Rock was one of the nicest classiest fighters of all time. Just watch out for Suzie Q. 😂

I noticed a handful of hateful divisive comments on your little channel They are ALL based on envy complete envy Your should discourage and eliminate this Am I correct??

And 8 yrs later The Brockton Bomber died in a plane crash….age 45

Why no fight?

They don't make guys like that anymore

How in color?

Gave burt reynolds hell of a chase too smoky

So Jackie Gleason's boss doesn't tell him that he is going to fight a professional boxer, because he thinks it's funny.

no fight

Why they so short ?

Rocky Marciano wasn't made to host TV shows. That wasn't in his wheel house. A Renaissance like Mike Tyson could do that or Cassius Clay or George Foreman but he couldn't really do that even though they tried to sell him like that. Boxing was more popular then but they couldn't sell him cause he wasn't good at it. Everyone isn't good at everything

The 4 ATG's Rocky beat were either too old or washed up.

Rocky Marciano should be permanently removed from all record books. Or an asterisk (*) placed before their name meaning *Cruiserweight. Eventually it's gonna happen, mark my words.

Unfortunately little Rocky was a terrible actor.

To see Rocky and Ali fight each other in their primes.
