The Honeymooners: The $99,000 Answer - Episode 18 of 39

1 year ago

Ralph is a contestant on The $99,000 Answer (a spoof of The $64,000 Question) and is determined to go all the way in spite of Alice's concerns. This episode features a running gag of Norton's when he practices the opening bars to Swanee River to warm up. Unfortunately, Ralph flubs the first question, which asks for the composer of that song. NOTE: If Ralph had really wanted to protest the accuracy of the answer, he could have gone back and told them the actual title is "The Old Folks at Home." There have been actual "Jeopardy" contestants who have said "Ed Norton?" when stumped.

In 1997, TV Guide ranked this episode #6 on its list of the 100 Greatest Episodes.
