Synopsis
In this classic Honeymooners sketch, Ralph is told to turn in his bus driver's uniform. Assuming that he's been fired, Ralph decides to get even with his boss Mr. Marshall (Robert Middleton) by dashing off an angry letter ("My Dear Mr. Marshall. . .You Dirty Bum!") Too angry to write the missive himself, Ralph dictates his vitriol to his pal Ed Norton, who duly records every single word. Only after the letter has been deposited in the mailbox does Ralph discover that Mr. Marshall has not fired him -- and in, fact, intends to give him a promotion! The rest of the episode is a hilarious exercise in desperation, highlighted by no fewer than two of Jackie Gleason's spectacular "faints." Originally telecast as a 33-minute sketch on the November 14, 1953, edition of The Jackie Gleason Show, "Letter to the Boss" was redone on December 16, 1967, with music and in full color, as a 60-minute episode of Gleason's Miami-based variety series. On that occasion, Mr. Marshall was played by Paul Ford.
