Just finished listening to a Jack Benny radio show and Jack gave a bum named John Silvoney played by Frank Fontaine a fifty cent piece for coffee. Well needless to say this was the character of Crazy Guggenheim before we new about him on Jackie Gleason's show. He could crack Jack up to the point he could hardly read his lines. He was such a hit with everyone that he made several more appearances on Jack's radio show. I wish I could find a way to embed the episode so you all could hear it.
Here is a clip (blooper) of Crazy Guggenheim and Jackie Gleason. Great comedy, great performers.
