a 2010 article discussing an interview from 2003 about unsubstantiated hearsay from 1974. what a timely greenlight.

This is the sort of shiat that makes me really really hope there is an afterlife like they describe in some religions. Questions will be answered. I'd love to know the truth about some of the next-level shiat.

I read this about Gleason's time filming "Nothing in COmmon" with Tom Hanks.

The film proved to be Gleason's final film role, as he was suffering from colon cancer, liver cancer, and thrombosed hemorrhoids during production.

Thrombosed hemorrhoids. Jesus Christ. Rhoids with blood clots in them.

Nixon was always a troll. Hell, he even looks like a troll. He got some eggheads to fake up some alien bodies just to fark with Gleason.

Narrator: "The story of lunar exploration started with one man, a man with a dream."

Animatronic Jackie Gleason: "One of these days, Alice. Bang, zoom, straight to the moon!"

Leela: "Wow, I never realized the first astronauts were so fat."

Fry: "That's not an astronaut, it's a TV comedian! And he was just using space travel as a metaphor for beating his wife."

Considering just how much Jackie Gleason drank, I'm not surprised that, at some point, "Richard Nixon showed him aliens".

ftfa:

"In an interview with Gleason's second wife, Beverly McKittrick, by Esquire Magazine about a book she was planning to write, she revealed that Gleason had told her that Nixon had shown Gleason alien bodies. The story goes that Gleason arrived home unusually late on the evening of February 19, 1973. Worried, McKittrick questioned his whereabouts. She said in the interview that his face looked "haggard", and that he said he had been to Homestead Air Force Base and had seen alien bodies. He described them as small, "only about two feet tall, with bald heads and disproportionately large ears."

Gleason told her that he could not get many answers, but that a spacecraft must have crashed nearby. She says that he was so preoccupied about the event that he continued to talk about it the next morning."


So,

Jackie Gleason came home after a night of drinking and whoring to find his nosey wife still awake. When she pressed him on his whereabouts he made up some story about the President and aliens knowing the broad was dumb enough to believe it.

Sober the next day, Gleason obviously realized the ridiculousness of his drunken tale and was nervous the truth might get out. He spent the morning cementing the lie with repetition.

/sound about right?
//'scuse me mame. just.... one more question

I've actually been to that Air Force Base in Homestead (on accident). I was working as PA for a film being shot in the area and got lost. I took a wrong turn down a long, long road in the complete middle of nowhere. finally ending up at the guard gate. The guard clearly wasn't expecting visitors, and came running out wondering who the heck i was, and i wondering what the heck i stumbled onto. It was like that scene at the beginning of Crystal Skulls, though i neither shot the guard nor had Indy in the trunk.

jtown: Sorry, buddy, this is it.
