The Honeymooners Meet a Sexually Ambiguous Latino

from Gayest Episode Ever · host Drew Mackie & Glen Lakin / TableCakes Productions

"Mama Loves Mambo" (May 3, 1956) While Ralph Kramden never met an out gay character on screen, he did once tussle with a new neighbor, Carlos Sanchez (Charles Korvin), who embodies all the traits of the "latin lover" stock character type. This includes being perceived as a threat to women while also being sensitive, empathetic and emotional — or in the midcentury binary, effeminate. We're joined by Nu Julio himself, Tony Rodriguez, to discuss why this classic sitcom strikes a different chord than I Love Lucy, what to make of Ralph Kramden's domestic violence threats and why you maybe didn't see The Honeymooners in syndication back in the day. Watch Tony's new movie Maximum Truth on Prime Video, Apple TV or YouTube. Watch the new season of Ninjago: Dragons Rising June 1 on Netflix! And if you don't know what a Ninjago is, watch Ninjago Decoded, starting here. You can now watch Glen's movie, Being Frank, on Freevee via Amazon Prime. WATCH IT NOW! Go shop at our TeePublic store!
