John Wayne and Red Skelton. 2 of the greatest guys that ever lived. Too bad I never really got much of a chance to grow up with any of their shows. But thanks to the power of dvd and blue ray, I've got some great shows and clips to remember them by. May they both rest in peace.
I grew up watching John Wayne and Red Skelton on black and white TV. They are the memories of my growing years. I deeply appreciate thier talent and creativity. No one does this anymore.
Great comedians back then, didn't feel the need to cuss to be funny. Johnathan Winters, Abbott & Costello, Rich Little, Rodney Dangerfield, Rowan & Martin, the Smothers Brothers and so many more.
@@maxmegsnoopy Funniest joke I ever heard was from Rich Little in Las Vegas. Not a dirty word or reference in his whole act. These were true comediennes. Now every other word is a cuss word and ever story is dirty. It just shows they aren't really funny.
@@1cdmap, from Wikipedia: America's entry into World War II resulted in a deluge of support for the war effort from all sectors of society, and Hollywood was no exception. Wayne was exempted from service due to his age (34 at the time of Pearl Harbor) and family status (classified as 3-A - family deferment). Wayne repeatedly wrote to John Ford saying he wanted to enlist, on one occasion inquiring whether he could get into Ford's military unit.[38] Wayne did not attempt to prevent his reclassification as 1-A (draft eligible), but Republic Studios was emphatically resistant to losing him since he was their only A-list actor under contract. Herbert J. Yates, President of Republic, threatened Wayne with a lawsuit if he walked away from his contract,[39] and Republic Pictures intervened in the Selective Service process, requesting Wayne's further deferment.[40] With Joan Blondell in Lady for a Night (1942) U.S. National Archives records indicate that Wayne, in fact, did make an application[41] to serve in the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), precursor to the modern CIA, and had been accepted within the U.S. Army's allotted billet to the OSS. William J. Donovan, OSS Commander, wrote Wayne a letter informing him of his acceptance into the Field Photographic Unit, but the letter went to his estranged wife Josephine's home. She never told him about it. Wayne toured U.S. bases and hospitals in the South Pacific for three months in 1943 and 1944,[42] with the USO.[43][44][45] During this trip, he carried out a request from Donovan to assess whether General Douglas MacArthur, commander of the South West Pacific Area, or his staff were hindering the work of the OSS.[21]:88 Donovan later issued Wayne an OSS Certificate of Service to memorialize Wayne's contribution to the OSS mission.[21]:88[46] Shut up.
Such special talent and great memories back then , the whole family could and would sit together and laugh watching shows like these together, its sad how family values have changed as well as social media has..wish i could go back to those days..
Heavens audience must have standing room only for these two! Red Skelton could make you laugh or cry at will and John Wayne was everybodies cowboy that could take any role in any movie and improve on it by starring in it.God bless them both!
I live in Australia and back in the 60's when I was a little bloke i.e 10-12 my Dad and I watched the Red Skelton Show on B/W tele together... Laugh, I nearly split my sides... Great memories of the American comedy skit shows back then...
Agree! I loved Junior "the mean little kid". Hope you all are o.k. safe and well. May God deliver us all from the Evil running rampant in the world. ❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 and Peace to all God bless you
Attention to everyone! This Site Is dedicated To Benny Goodman And Red Skelton. This is for Entertainment Only. I see a lot of you can't stand John Wayne, However I think he was a gifted movie star. I do not want to see anymore bad words or I will inform You Tube. Please Take it to anotherr site like a hate site, where you will find people in were cares... Have a good one
Wayne had a lot of nerve doing a comedy sketch with one of the greatest ad-libbers on TV. Skelton paid little attention to the scripts because he didn't like other people writing for him, and it took a pro to stay in with him. Two of the best. All time.
I love how Red gave John all the funniest lines in this skit. He was generous like that. That spoon joke is what I remembered all these years later and made me look for this. I'm delighted to find it! I was a little girl when I saw this with my parents, and it might have been the first funny joke I got on my own without needing it to be explained to me. I think I was about 5 yo. I am still careful to remove the spoon from my teacup. 😉
I, too, grew up watching Red Skelton and he was a comic genius. Many equalled his talents but no-one I know of exceeded them. He was also a very talented painter.
I remember when I first move out west in 1954. I drove down Wilshire Blvd in west L.A., and Red Skelton came out of the fancy Hotel in his red Cadillac convertible, waving to everyone and no one in particular. That was the kind of guy he was. He was a happy trooper, and I'll never forget his waving, just enjoying life!
I'm with you. They were two of the greatest! TV nowadays is not worth a whole lot. And the cinema. Many movies are nothing but special effects. In Skelton's / Wayne's heyday the acting, the comedy, and the writing were top notch. Now they've been replaced by special effects and CGI. And when actors stand around and yell at each other, they call that great acting. Damn.... maybe I'll become an actor.... LOL!
The woke anti laughter idiots would say it's too violent, just as they did with the Road Runner cartoons. Why can't we just round them up and dump all the miseries on a large desert island?
what should have been a happier day on Sept. 17, 1997 began with tears for a successful star and entertainer of our time Red Skelton who had passed away at 80 years of age. I haven't cried in 1997 on the day he died because he went without me hearing and not knowing he was ill. It is 19 years and to the day later that I learned he passed away while I watch Ed a prerecorded show on "RUclips's The Dini Petty Show" where she interviewed the late Great Red Skelton. Truly, a Great, Great comedian and Great Humanitarian. God Bless You Red for the many Sundays filling our home with laughter. Richard Bernard "Red" Skelton. 15656 Leechburg, PA
I have my mother to thank for my love of John Wayne and Red Skelton. They were her favorite actors and comedians. Thanks Mama, you knew what real acting was!!
Two of the greatest that loved on the screen. Never a dirty joke from Reds mouth as kod i looked forward to watch his show. As i looked forward to see Waunes movies RIP both of ypu. You would not loke hoe America is today glad you didn't live to see it Cbp. cpmbatmedic namvet
I could write the scripts for John Wayne movies I see him over and over and over again up until today all western’s favorites and reds garden was hilarious I remember my mother watching him every week those were the days
The duke the best damn actor that ever live and old red is one of the funniest comedians ive ever had th pleasure to watch.
5 лет назад+2
I feel the best film was ever in was Stagecoach from 1939. Very deep film loaded with stars from the past. And Hollywoods best year. If you don't know it.
Right there my friends is two men that made America great and made us laugh and think about the country that we live in and the people around us sure miss these guys they were definitely 8 blessing to our society
Used to watch Red Skelton every Sunday doing all his impressions and comical skits..sure miss his good, clean, fall off the couch kind of laughter..😅😅❤❤ R.I.P. Red..😢
I used to watch the Red Skelton show when I was a kid. With my Dad and brothers. He had some great actors on the show! Great memories! My Dad passed when I was just 14. I miss that old fart sometimes!
Often very under rated as an actor. Westerns were his speciality but the skill was making everthing seem so natural. In the Searchers Wayne gave the best performance of his life, but his dominance on screen was apparent in all of his movies. God bless and thanks for the memories.
Yes, great in many, brilliant in The Searchers. He was haunting, bitter, hateful, sarcastic, and ending with forgiveness and acceptance. A great performance every young boy and girl should watch. How easy to hate, but so difficult to accept and forgive.
I remember when we only got two channels on our blk & wht T.V.. In the evening after all the chores were done and dinner had been eaten our family of five sat around and watched QUALITY T.V. Shows included The Ed Sullivan Show, The Jack Benny Show, Raw Hide, The Honeymooners, I've Got A Secret, The Grocho Marx Show, Lawrence Welk Walt Disney The Red Skelton Show and several other quality shows. There was no swearing, no nudity, no taking drugs on screen and nothing vulgar at all. Life was so quality back then. Everybody worked unless they had a handycap and were unable to. Children had chores and were taught to show respect.Red Skelton was everyone's favorite, He was funny.
I've read that Red Skelton was especially interested in the quality of his show's content and insisted on no profanity in the show. If this is true , then I respect him much more !!
@@phildees9539 He also stood up to the high-ups when they tried to make him quit saying "God bless" at the end of each show. He told them either he kept saying it, or he quit doing the show. The high-ups backed down. Red Skelton was a real quality man!
Happy 100-year birthday for John Wayne and Red Skelton God bless you too I used to watch the Red Skelton Show when I was a kid and I still watch it even though I'm 53 so I just got to say it was one good show and I really liked it a lot and I'm glad to say I'm going to have to go so off we go to the show sincerely TCB Elvis Presley
Marion Morrison was a draft-dodging chickenhawk and an abusive alcoholic. Soldiers booed his ass away at PFO shows till he fucked off for good. You're thinking of a completely fictional character.
Endoptic Not a draft dodger! John Wayne, born 1907, WWI 1914-1918 (Wayne age:7-11). WWII 1941-1945 (Wayne age 34-38). Korea 1950-1953 (Wayne age 43-46). His age made it so he didn't have to be drafted.
Marion Morrison was classified as 3-A for deferred for family dependency in '42. He was reclassified 1-A in '44 but wriggled out via his studio's clout. He stayed in Hollywood becoming a star instead of doing his hitch. This was known by enough soldiers to piss 'em off when he tried to play tough guy patriot right in their faces. Some even got a few hits in when he strutted about, obviously without uniform or excuse. ;D
In the late eighties I had the absolute pleasure of seeing Red Skeleton live at the Fox theater in Detroit. Wow. He did his skits, Guzzler Gin and some of his jokes. And then his sat down at a makeup table, and started telling us about his friend, Freddie. And as he talked he applied makeup. And in a few minutes you were watching Freddie the Freeloader talk about his friend Red.. All right in front of your eyes. He was, The Master.
Don Hulbert Yeah, originally John Wayne was to play the Waco Kid and Richard Pryor was to be Black Bart. Wayne said no and Pryor couldn't get cleared for insurance because of his cocaine addiction.
Two of the GREATEST. Skelton always said at the end of his show "God bless" and that always stuck with me, I' almost 70 now and still remember.
I'm seventy-one and grew up laughing at the two seagulls and Red's delightful innocent humour . I still laugh at The Three Stooges and the Warner Brothers cartoons.
@@rogeredwarrddeshon5000Nothing wrong with that. Especially gotta love the Stoogies. My parents watched them fresh in the movie houses. Then the war came around.. Can't beat classic Warner Brother's either.
Thanks for the laughs they were so good l miss them
Amen!

I LOVED Red Skelton. He seemed like such a gentle man. And what a comedian!
Always good clean comedy!
sad, there are very few if any comedians, at this level anymore.

Keep watching the good ones !
It was a great era.

I used to watch Red Skelton on TV every week, when I was a kid. I loved his various skits. 🙂
This is when they had great actor and actresses. Creative writers for movies and T.V. Series.

John Wayne was blessed with a wonderful sense of humor....
Rest In Peace, Duke, you're missed.
And put his damn name back on the airport where it was removed by leftist nitwits !
@@kennyc388 Why? What did he do to deserve it?
The part where he says the waitress is out killing his dinner is hilarious 😂
John Wayne, the one-trick pony, probably the worst most famous actor out there.
RED SKELETON was one of the best COMEDIANS if all times.
So very true

Shut up.
Two of my all time favorites. Just pure golden age Americana. 🤠🇺🇸
John Wayne and Red Skelton make a wonderful team. These tv show back then was fun to watch, clean, classy, and no filthiest.
There was blue humor, but it was very subtle.
This was so great...no bashing, cussing, just great comedy. Sure can't turn on a TV and see this now days.
Two of my favorites! I grew up watching Red Skelton and still enjoy John Wayne's films. ❤❤
Such special talent and great memories back then , the whole family could and would sit together and laugh watching shows like these together, its sad how family values have changed as well as social media has..wish i could go back to those days..
With kool-aid and popcorn!😂👍
Never got tired of Red. One of a kind!
Always Clean Family Humor from both of these guys. Miss them both!
Red Skeleton was in a class by himself. John Wayne wasnt only a good actor he had a wicked sense of humor too.
Heavens audience must have standing room only for these two! Red Skelton could make you laugh or cry at will and John Wayne was everybodies cowboy that could take any role in any movie and improve on it by starring in it.God bless them both!
Couple of masters at their craft. Rest in peace, fellas.
Was this his True Grit days??
Too many people today have no idea what real (and clean) comedy was.
And Red Skelton was its ambassador.
If a joke has to be explained to be understood how funny can it be?
There was a lot of clean funny shows back then. One of my favourites was the Dick Van Dyke show.
I heard his audience warm ups were a bit risque.
From. Canada. / Now. that’s. what. you. call. ENTERTAINMENT. , two. great. ACTOR’S. . performing. , Not. Like. the. CRAP. they. show. on. tv. or. movies. nowaday’s. / Have. a. good. day. / Bill. S. Canada

Red and John are so legendary.
The duke the best damn actor that ever live and old red is one of the funniest comedians ive ever had th pleasure to watch.
I feel the best film was ever in was Stagecoach from 1939. Very deep film loaded with stars from the past. And Hollywoods best year. If you don't know it.
The best actors just play themselves. It comes threw much more realistic that way.

He stayed in Hollywood becoming a star instead of doing his hitch. This was known by enough soldiers to piss 'em off when he tried to play tough guy patriot right in their faces. Some even got a few hits in when he strutted about, obviously without uniform or excuse. ;D
It’s extremely rare I laugh with literally years between. I very much enjoyed this and I actually did laugh. It was nice thank you for posting.
One brilliantly written and presented properly funny skit.. Good telly right there.
I miss these old, fun, and innocent variety shows.
Two of the best that ever lived!
OMG! I remember seeing this skit when it aired in prime time when I was seven! THank you for posting!
When I was growing up Red Skeleton was my favorite show
Two of my all time favorites..
My favorite cowboy of all times
Loved John and Red in the 60's and 70,s as I grew up. They are true legends !
Didn't know that John Wayne made such funny things too. It's great.
My two most favourite heroes! Thanks for posting this!
My Father would sit watching Skelton, not issue a sound but was glowing red in the face with laughter.
I often thought he was going to explode.
In the late eighties I had the absolute pleasure of seeing Red Skeleton live at the Fox theater in Detroit. Wow. He did his skits, Guzzler Gin and some of his jokes. And then his sat down at a makeup table, and started telling us about his friend, Freddie. And as he talked he applied makeup. And in a few minutes you were watching Freddie the Freeloader talk about his friend Red.. All right in front of your eyes. He was, The Master.
John Wayne was the best actor and cowboy that ever lived.REdSleton was a great commidean and a most love able man.God BLess them both.
Hello Madonna, How are you doing?
They were hysterical together. John Wayne had quite a touch for deadpan comedy.
+Don Hulbert Mel Brooks wanted Wayne to star in Blazing Saddles but he turned him down. Such a pity.
Didn't know that! You're right, it's a shame.
Don Hulbert Yeah, originally John Wayne was to play the Waco Kid and Richard Pryor was to be Black Bart. Wayne said no and Pryor couldn't get cleared for insurance because of his cocaine addiction.
+John Smith As Mel tells it, Wayne told him, "Aw, no, I--I couldn't be in a movie like that, but...I'll be first in line to see it!"
Richard was one of the writers for the movie though.
