To promote The Jackie Gleason Show, Jackie Gleason chartered a train and went on a cross-country tour.

Gleason became afraid of flying after a plane that he was on had to make an emergency landing in Tulsa, Oklahoma after two if its engines failed.

“The five-car Gleason special, which cost $90,000 for the ten day trip, carried his company of TV performers and a six-piece jazz band.”
