Jackie Gleason, the legendary American comedian and star of "The Honeymooners", on the time he got CBS to send him a private train to Miami: In the 1960s, Gleason decided he didn't want to shoot his show in New York anymore. He wanted to do it in Miami, and he wanted to get there in style. "When we're doing the Honeymooners, I had a big contract for that for two years. And after the first year, I said I didn't want to do it. And they didn't believe me. They thought I had a job somewhere else. And finally, they realized that I just didn't want to do it." When the network came back asking him to do another show, Gleason was in California making a picture. He said yes, but with one condition: "I said, 'All right.' I said, 'But I want a train that goes to Florida.' Because I had come down here and played golf and liked it and I figured might as well go to Florida and do the show. Play golf all the time and they went for it." They went for it. What followed was a rolling party across the country. Gleason describes what was on the train: "Everything. We had two Dixieland bands come from California and they would spell each other. I'd say to them, 'Take five miles,' and the parties went on 24 hours." Asked if there were girls on the train, he laughs: "Boy, there were girls. There certainly were. And they were very, very nice girls. Nothing on it happened. I know that sounds ridiculous, but it didn't. Might have been because the berths were too small, but regardless of that, nothing happened on that trip." Asked if there was a bar on the train, his answer is perfect: "A bar. The train was a bar. I guess that's a classic example of what clout is." Then he delivers the line that sums up the whole story: "'Send a train, please.' That's right. When you've got good ratings and you're one, two, or three in the ratings, there is nothing your little heart desires that they don't provide."

Jackie Gleason, the legendary American comedian and star of “The Honeymooners”, on the time he got CBS to send him a private train to Miami: In the 1960s, Gleason decided he was done shooting his show in New York. He wanted Miami, and he wanted to arrive there in style. “When we’re doing the Honeymooners, I had a big contract for that for two years. And after the first year, I said I didn’t want to do it. And they didn’t believe me. They thought I had a job somewhere else. And finally, they realized that I just didn’t want to do it.” When the network came crawling back and asked him to do another show, Gleason was out in California shooting a picture. He said yes — but only under one condition: “I said, ‘All right.’ I said, ‘But I want a train that goes to Florida.’ Because I had come down here and played golf and liked it and I figured might as well go to Florida and do the show. Play golf all the time and they went for it.” They went for it. What followed was a rolling party stretching coast to coast. Gleason breaks down what was on board: “Everything. We had two Dixieland bands come from California and they would spell each other. I’d say to them, ‘Take five miles,’ and the parties went on 24 hours.” Asked if there were girls on the train, he laughs: “Boy, there were girls. There certainly were. And they were very, very nice girls. Nothing on it happened. I know that sounds ridiculous, but it didn’t. Might have been because the berths were too small, but regardless of that, nothing happened on that trip.” Asked if there was a bar on the train, his answer is perfect: “A bar. The train was a bar. I guess that’s a classic example of what clout is.” Then he drops the line that captures the whole story in a single breath: “‘Send a train, please.’ That’s right. When you’ve got good ratings and you’re one, two, or three in the ratings, there is nothing your little heart desires that they don’t provide.”
