Jackie Gleason Magazine was an American humor and entertainment magazine associated with the popularity of comedian, actor, and television star Jackie Gleason at the height of his fame in the 1950s.
The magazine focused on comedy and light entertainment, reflecting Jackie Gleason’s on-screen persona. Typical content included:

• humor pieces and comic sketches
• jokes and comedic stories
• illustrated gags and cartoons
• features inspired by Gleason’s TV characters (especially "The Honeymooners")
• celebrity-style entertainment material aimed at fans

It was designed to appeal to a mass audience, especially viewers of Gleason’s television shows.
The magazine appeared during the mid-1950s, when Jackie Gleason was one of the most popular figures on American television, thanks to programs like “The Jackie Gleason Show” and the enduring success of Ralph Kramden and The Honeymooners.
The publication was part of a broader trend in the 1950s: magazines and comics built around TV and movie stars, cross-media marketing between television, print, and popular culture.
Despite Gleason’s enormous fame, the magazine had a short run, as celebrity-branded magazines often depended heavily on momentary popularity and changing audience tastes.
