On both the radio and television versions of ''[[The Morey Amsterdam Show]]'' (1948–50), Carney's character Charlie the doorman became known for his catchphrase, "Ya know what I mean?".

In 1950, [[Jackie Gleason]] was starring in the New York–based comedy-variety series ''Cavalcade of Stars'' and played many different characters. Gleason's regular characters included Charlie Bratten, a lunchroom loudmouth who insisted on spoiling a neighboring patron's meal. Carney, established in New York as a reliable actor, played Bratten's mild-mannered victim, Clem Finch. Gleason and Carney developed a good working chemistry, and Gleason recruited Carney to appear in other sketches, including the domestic-comedy skits featuring ''[[The Honeymooners]]''. Carney gained lifelong fame for his portrayal of sewer worker Ed Norton, opposite [[Jackie Gleason]]'s bus driver, Ralph Kramden. The success of these skits resulted in the famous situation comedy ''[[The Honeymooners]]'' and the ''Honeymooners'' revivals that followed. He was nominated for seven [[Emmy Award]]s and won six.

Between his stints with Gleason, Carney worked steadily as a character actor and occasionally in musical-variety. He guest-starred on [[National Broadcasting Company|NBC]]'s ''[[Henry Morgan's Great Talent Hunt]]'' (1951), ''[[The Dinah Shore Chevy Show]]'', and many others, including as a mystery guest four times on ''[[What's My Line?]]'', dressed as Ed Norton for his first appearance. Carney also had his own NBC television variety show from 1959 to 1960.

In 1958, he starred in an ABC children's television special ''Art Carney Meets Peter and the Wolf'', which featured the [[Bil Baird]] Marionettes. It combined an original story with a marionette presentation of [[Serge Prokofiev]]'s ''[[Peter and the Wolf]]''. Some of Prokofiev's other music was given lyrics written by [[Ogden Nash]]. The special was a success and was repeated twice.[[File:Art Carney Peter and the Wolf 1958.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Art Carney surrounded by several marionettes from his television special, ''Art Carney Meets Peter and the Wolf'' (1958)]]
