Below is the only photo of her in that roll on November 12, 1951. That episode was the fourth ever Honeymooners sketch and was done on &#8216;The Dumont Cavalcade Of Stars&#8217;, which was hosted by Jackie Gleason.<\/p>\n<p>This sketch with Elaine Stritch is called &#8220;The New Television&#8221; and this the first time both Trixie and Ed Norton make their appearances with Art Carney debuting as Norton. In the first ever sketch, five weeks earlier, Carney had played a policeman. Trixie, as played by Stritch, was portrayed as a burlesque dancer but Gleason thought that Trixie needed to be a more demure housewife and on December 7, 1951, Joyce Randolph took over the role.<\/p>\n<p>Pictured here is Elaine Stritch, Pert Kelton (the original Alice), Jackie Gleason and Art Carney in his debut role as Ed Norton.
