    God bless you Red. We never tire of watching you. I watched The Red Skelton Show every week. So sad we no longer have this kind of clean comedy. Rest In Peace and keep the Angels in stitches. ❤️🙏

    I as a child used to watch him on Saturday night his skits were funny clean fun, and I think he was underrated as an artist, he was in movies, had his own tv show and everyone liked him.

      I forgot to mention that in an earlier comment. One of the first rule of "stand up" is not to laugh at your own jokes! He got away with it because of the impeccable timing, and the dopy look - hilarious in itself - on his face as he moved through the joke, as he was enjoying the comedy himself! It obviously worked for him, and you can't argue with success.

    Red was a tremendous entertainer. He could do it all. He was such a Brilliant man, so much talent all in one person. Music writing, paintings and stories, simply amazing. I saw him live in a 2 hour concert in a place called Circle Star Theatre near San Francisco probably was in the 1990's. A brilliant performance, a non stop performance. God Bless You, Mr Skelton, what an absolute joy you were. 🙏🙏❤❤

    To : Dorothy Coker, You are absolutely right about RED SKELTON and I love the way he sways his arm's back and forth like a little kid!! He will be sadly missed by all his loyal fans that love him? He's one of a kind and if all those 113 haters out there, you just don't understand the meaning of laughter, laughter is the best medicine that's out there and you don't even need a doctor's subscription for it, it's totally free of charge? May he rest in peace and I love how he says " And may God bless " ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

Somehow him and a friend that was on the plane by a mix up was in the first class secton of the plane and a stewardess came to them and said that they were in the wrong section of the plane and a man a couple rows ahead of them in the other isle turned and said that's alright I need someone to talk to . guess who it was ? It was Red Skelton. Red Skelton had bought the whole section .

No matter who stopped to talk to him, he treated them like close family and made time to finish the conversations. As he stepped away I told him to have a good day and he responded in the same soft voice he used to close his show with, "Have a good day? Son, the day is half over, have a good life!" That was 55 years ago and I remember it like yesterday.

      @@timrichard8798 Real comedy did not need "laugh tracks". The I Love Lucy Show was recorded before a live studio audience. Those laughs were real, as were the ones in front a lot of shows back then.
      If I listen to a modern show from the other room, these "laugh tracks" are extremely irritating. I don't need someone to tell me when something is funny.

      I did the same. And today (March 2020) I stumbled across this video and was afraid to watch it, thinking the humor would be so out-of-date and corny. Boy am I glad I watched. Skelton was a master; and if his humor ever goes out-of-date I don't want to be alive.

    I am not sure why I had tears in my eyes. Could it have been because I laughed so hard, or because talent like him no longer exists. At 73 yrs. old, I have been a Red Skelton fan as far back as I can remember. The Red Skelton Show was one of the shows we watched every week on our first t.v. bought in 1955.
