When Jackie left TV, CBS (his network)agreed to pay him $100,000 a year NOT to do a another series on another network -- insurance money. Note that Gleason recognized Tom Hanks's acting talent YEARS before he was accepted as an actor (beyond a comedian) -- before he won two Oscars. Gleason was talent,and he knew talent when he saw it.

He did admit a few years before his death that he regretted not doing one more season of The Honeymooners. But Jackie was concerned about the quality of his show. He could have made more "good" shows, but he held a standard with the classic 39 that he didn't want diminished with possibly a mediocre set of future programs.
