Who Was This Person? #10

This comedian, singer, actor, songwriter, guitarist and composer used an assumed first name, which was modified a bit by a big-time (back then) radio and TV personality.

There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

Keep trying. It's not your wife!

I NEVER imagined this would be so long-lasting....maybe it's an age thing, but this guy was around until the 1980s. (That's another clue!)

After a bit of Nadining, I am not so sure anymore as I found on the official site that Gleason got his nickname from his mother. But he seems to fit in a every other way.

Now it is getting like an episode of House.

Geez. I might as well give everyone his name!
