There was a nightmarish mistake in one of the Honeymooners episodes where Gleason for some reason thought the sketch was over and was in his dressing room taking his makeup off. Art Carney was alone on stage at the time, so there was nothing to do except fill the airtime until someone got Gleason back. Fortunately, and just by chance, there was an orange in the icebox, so Carney improvised a 90-second mime routine about peeling the orange, full of all sorts of weird hand gestures and facial expressions. The man was a genius.
