why was there a swatchtica in the background curtian? and where can i find you're in the picture monolouge?

swatchtica?!
What are you smokin?

It's a stick figure outline/sketch.

And besides, the swastik is a sign of good fortune/luck.

Only later did the Nazi's remake it into their party symbol and made the lines wider/bolder and changed the angle of rotation from the ancient design.

Most people do not notice the difference and therefore it faded into obscurity. Forever associated with the German Nazi years.

Now we know exactly where Johnny Carson got his program.

A classic item is "I Conquered Dandruff," by Ray Bloch - his bald music director in the 1950s, as Sammy Spear was in the 1960's. (Spear arranged the "Honeymooners" music for the band during the Classic 39 era.)

Do you mean Crazy Googanhiem with Jackie as Joe the bartender? That would be fantastic. I cant find any of that anywhere.

You should take a listen to Jackie Gleason's best monologue - his "You're In the Picture" apology from 1961. It manages to be loose and in charge at the same time. Only The Great One could pull it off.

By the time of "The American Scene Magazine" era of 1962-66, Gleason's late-night pitchman was renamed "Stanley R. Slick." One installment from that period (presumably 1963-64) had him showing a stack of paper about as high as he stood (roughly 5' 10"), and passing it off as the original script of the Richard Burton / Elizabeth Taylor version of "Cleopatra."
