[[Jackie Gleason]] hosted his ''Jackie Gleason and His American Scene Magazine'' (September 29, 1962 – June 4, 1966) television show, after moving it from New York to [[Miami Beach]] in 1964, reportedly because he liked year-round access to the golf course at the nearby [[Inverrary Country Club]] in [[Lauderhill, Florida|Lauderhill]] (where he built his final home). His closing line became, almost invariably, "As always, the Miami Beach audience is the greatest audience in the world!" In the Fall 1966 television season, he abandoned the American Scene Magazine format and converted the show into a standard variety hour with guest performers. The show was renamed ''The Jackie Gleason Show'', lasting from September 17, 1966 – September 12, 1970. He started the 1966–1967 season with new, color episodes of ''[[The Honeymooners]]'', with [[Sheila MacRae]] and [[Jane Kean]] as Alice Kramden and Trixie Norton, respectively. The regular cast included [[Art Carney]] as Ed Norton; [[Milton Berle]] was a frequent guest star. The show was shot in color on videotape at the [[Miami Beach Convention Center|Miami Beach Auditorium]] (later renamed the Jackie Gleason Theatre of the Performing Arts), now known as [[Miami Beach Convention Center#Fillmore Miami Beach|Fillmore Miami Beach]], and Gleason never tired of promoting the "sun and fun capital of the world" on camera. [[CBS]] canceled the series in 1970.

Each December, the City of Miami Beach hosts [[Art Basel Miami Beach]], one of the largest art shows in the United States. Art Basel Miami Beach, the sister event to the [[Art Basel]] event held each June in Basel, Switzerland, combines an international selection of top galleries with a program of special exhibitions, parties and crossover events featuring music, film, architecture, and design. Exhibition sites are located in the city's Art Deco District, and ancillary events are scattered throughout the greater Miami metropolitan area.

The first Art Basel Miami Beach was held in 2002.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.artspace.com/magazine/art_101/art_market/a-brief-history-of-art-basel-52350 |title=A Brief History of Art Basel, the World's Premier Contemporary Fair |last=Bodick |first=Noelle |date=2014-06-17 |website=Artspace |language=en |access-date=2018-09-23 |archive-date=May 16, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220516122329/https://www.artspace.com/magazine/art_101/art_market/a-brief-history-of-art-basel-52350 |url-status=live }}</ref> In 2016, about 77,000 people attended the fair.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/visual-arts/art-basel/article188441249.html |title=Is Art Basel bigger and better than ever?
