Anyone here remember Joe the Bartender with Crazy Guggenheim? [View all]

Joe the Bartender was created by Jackie to provide a vehicle for tales of his real-life pals from Brooklyn. Forever spinning his expansive yarns to unseen customer Mr. Dennehy, Joe showcases Gleason's gift for holding the audience's attention with a brilliantly-executed monologue.
