February 29—Who knows!
One article says that NBC was going to announce which cast they'd have as guests later in the week, but it's already Wednesday and no word yet. Our semi-educated guess: it's going to be the cast of "Seinfeld!"

Brooklyn bus station named in memory of Jackie Gleason

Here's something quick and interesting we found while searching the Internet this morning: In 1988, the City of New York renamed a bus station after Jackie Gleason, the actor who played the famous classic television role of bus driver Ralph Kramden in "The Honeymooners." Both Gleason and his fictional other half were Brooklyn natives, so the honor was most fitting. The station is on 5th Avenue in the Sunset Park neighborhood of Brooklyn, just across the street from the famous Green-Wood Cemetery, where several movie and television stars from yesteryear were laid to rest, including actor Frank Morgan (the Wizard in "The Wizard of Oz") and William Surrey Hart. The Jackie Gleason Depot sign was designed as an homage to the opening credits of "The Honeymooners."
