Loved all his characters,Reginald Van Gleason III, a top-hatted millionaire with a taste for both the good life and fantasy Rudy the Repairman, boisterous and boorish The Poor Soul, staring at a stretching ballerina Gleason as the Poor Soul on Toast of the Town in 1954 Joe the Bartender, gregarious and with friendly words for the never-seen Mr. Dennehy (always first at the bar) The Poor Soul, a silent character who could (and often did) come to grief in the least-expected places (or demonstrated gratitude at such gifts as being allowed to share a newspaper on a subway) Rum Dum, a character with a brush-like mustache who often stumbled around as though drunk and confused Fenwick Babbitt, a friendly, addle-headed young man usually depicted working at various jobs and invariably failing Charlie Bratton, a loudmouth who frequently picked on the mild-mannered Clem Finch (portrayed by Art Carney, a future Honeymooners co-star) Stanley R. Sogg, a pitchman, who usually appeared on commercials during late night movies and sold items that came with extras bonuses. The ultimate inducement was a 10-pound wedge of Facciamara's Macciaroni cheese. The Bachelor, a silent character (accompanied by the song "Somebody Loves Me") doing everyday things in an unusually lazy (or makeshift) way |
