I don't know what his FargoRate would have been, but they had an old clip of a Jackie Gleason interview.

Great post. Got a good laugh at how quickly he can fall right back into Ralph and pull out a line. Few good quotes just in the span of a few minutes...

Good clip... The Honeymooners was one of the best tv shows

Someday Alice.. Someday to the moon... Boom! Zoom! Moon

It wasn't much over 50...which is pretty good for an amateur, but poor for the day, when 14.1 was played by everybody.

Legendary NYC restaurateur, Toots Shor, introduced Gleason and Mosconi.

Gleason considered himself something of a hustler and liked to play guys for $20/$30 a game. They met one night at Shors restaurant and Toots introduces Mosconi as a rich dress maker from Philly.

They went over to a nearby pool room and played 100 points of 14.1 for $100, Mosconi playing just well enough to win, 100-70. Gleason said to Toots, "Where did you find this guy? He must have been born with a horseshoe in his mouth."

They played one more.

Gleason broke, and Willie ran 70 right handed. Then, in a memorable coupe-de-grace, ran the last 30 left handed and all Gleason could say was his famous Honeymooners, "Homminuh, homminuh, humminuh."

They became close friends.

@Ched,
Thank you. I looked up this chart by Dr. Dave and straight pool run of 40-50 is conservatively a B and into A territory.

Great 60 minutes clip! I went to the link above eagerly to see where the experts say 50 balls ranks you and the first expert I read was me. lol. I agree with what I wrote but it would be nice to see feedback from instructors with extensive straight pool knowledge.

Loved that clip - made me laugh
