Gleason
Television Movie, 90 minutes.

He made more than television. He made history.

 The story begins at the height of Jackie Gleason's career. He has it all: women, wealth, and extraordinary power. But he is haunted by memories of his childhood. Gleason spends his formative years entering amateur contests and performing in sleazy night spots. Along the way, he steals gags from the best comics in town and finds love with Genevieve, a dancer whom he later marries. But Gleason isn't an ideal husband or even a responsible father, and he abandons his family to answer the call of Hollywood.
