    Good stuff Jordan. Recently I became the caretaker of one of Red's "Freddie the Freeloader" hats from the 50s that Red gifted to a friend named F. Victor Larkin, who at the time was the CBS VP in charge of West Coast Facilities. At one time, he was the assistant to CBS' project engineer who was in charge of building Television City, Victor took over by 1955. Glad to see Mark Kratzner, he's a great guy! Glad to see you continue to represent the classics on your channel!

    I'm almost 70 years old and what great memories of watching Red Skelton on TV. Loved all of the characters he did, but when he did the Pledge of Allegiance WOW still makes me cry to this day. Thank you Jordan. Wising you and Katie a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Years.

    I grew up in Palm Desert, California in the late 1960's and as a teenager, we would see Red in his Rolls Royce around town frequently. He always had a smile and was very nice to everyone . Red was just a kind person. He always sported a smile and took the time to acknowledge anyone who recognized him. He was a stand out guy in the community. Thank you for this video, Jordan. It is like visiting an old friend after all of these years.

    Wow what a video! Gotta love Red Skelton and I loved his Freddie the Freeloader character. I learned quite a bit about his life & that's a really cool story about Michael Richards & Red. I never knew all the stuff he did back in his vaudeville days, that's something. I need to plan a trip to Indiana to see this.

    I been to the museum and lived in Vincennes for 4 years as a Vincennes University student studying graphic design from 99-03. Then years later i graduated VU. The campus built the Red skelton theater and performing arts building for the University. Reds widow donated 4 million for the project. There is Reds awards also donated by his widow at the theater. My dad was a big Skelton fan.

    Thank you so much, Jordan - a pleasant surprise, as I wasn't aware of this fine museum (and theater)! I grew up in the 50s and as a family we watched Red Skelton every week, I think (mostly) it was on during the week and probably one of only one or two TV shows we were allowed to watch on a "school night".
    I have an autographed photo from Red...I had mailed a fan letter to him requesting it, and when I got it I remember studying the signature and could see the impression of the signature lines pressing through the photo paper and visible on the back side. I finally had it archival-mounted in a picture frame, and there it still hangs in my home office.
    Also remember once considering to purchase one of his original paintings...can't remember from where, but it seems like it was from a store in California which exclusively sold his originals and prints at the time...I almost bought one (a small Freddy the Freeloader canvas) but ultimately declined, as it was a princely sum for us in those days. Some years later, a personally signed print cost nearly as much...wished I had at least bought the print now!
    But all that is besides the point...his manner and humor was such a positive influence on me, and I still occasionally watch one of his TV shows or movies on DVD, his comedy is timeless.

    I'm from Holland, and I have to admit, I don’t really know who Red Skelton is. But honestly, that doesn’t matter-I just love your videos about old Hollywood stars from days gone by. I wanted to point out something that caught my eye: I’m a huge Charles Bronson fan, and to my surprise, I spotted him in a picture with 'Cauliflower McPugg' at 34:52.

    I love Red Skelton. I visited his final resting place at Forest Lawn Glendale last year. A maintenance man went and put a flower in his area for me. I got to stand in front of it but not go in. I loved when he appeared on the old show What's My Line. Jordan if you see this I think you'd do great videos about the Whats My Line cast.

    Not that I'm obsessed with the idea of seeing it someday. I have been in the studios to see his original footprints. But Red removed the signature slab when he owned the studios.

    When I was a child my grandparents gave my brother and I an original signed Red Skelton clown painting that said "to my little buddies". Unfortunately, our father and his new young wife stole the painting from us and tried to replace the painting with a clown POSTER and counterfeit signature.
    Fortunately, our grandmother let us know that that was not the painting they had given us.
    Yeah, messed up family right.
