You're in the Picture was a one-episode flop of a panel game which quickly became known as one of the "biggest bombs" in television history.
Gameplay[]
A four-member celebrity panel would stick their heads into a life-sized illustration of a famous scene or song lyric, then take turns asking yes/no questions to Gleason to try to figure out what scene they were a part of. If they were able to figure out the scene, 100 CARE Packages were donated in their name; if they were stumped, the packages were donated in Gleason's name. Live music was provided by a Dixieland band (supposedly arranged by Gleason himself, who had some experience in easy listening arrangements outside his television work) under the direction of Norman Leyden.

CBS Studio 52, New York City, NY
Trivia[]
- One of the show's sponsors was Kellogg's, with Dennis James doing those adverts.
- Only one episode aired of the game show format. The following week's "episode" consisted entirely of Gleason apologizing for what, as he noted during the half-hour, had seemed like a good idea in development but was blasted by most television critics following its debut.
- To fill out Gleason's commitment to CBS, the format was converted to a one-on-one informal talk show simply titled The Jackie Gleason Show.
