@@nancycalhoun3702 can see stuff like this at the local level pretty much everywhere. All it takes is removing control of the industry from the 6 families that hold it all today.

I don't remember missing very many episodes of Red Skelton. He had everybody on his show, from Charles Bronson to John Wayne. The man was comedic genius.
From clubs, to movies then years on TV.. Red was proud of the fact that he never once used profanity to share his comedy with, we, his fans. Red definitely was one of the very kindest and most gentle people on this earth.
Okay, I love Red. But let's not make him too saintly. I read a biography about him. His wife had been cheating on him. I forget her name. Let's say Kathy. He was with his wife and Humphrey Bogart. A woman walked by and Bogie said "She's known to be the best c*%&sucker in town." Red patted his wife on the head and said "Oh now don't say that. You'll make Kathy jealous."
On two occasions he used profanity in the 50’s Clem Kadiddelhopper Delayed Mike , the tv show went off the air while we in Oregon were at the dinner table!
I also saw him once many years ago. It was at the Canadian National Exhibition Grandstand show. All the big entertainers appeared there. I also saw Bob Hope, Bill Cosby and the Beachboys, at different times of course. I also watched a concert for Canadian athletes going to the 1980 Olympics in Moscow. That show included Gordon Lightfoot, Harry Chapin, Liona Boyd and others. There was real entertainment back then. BTW, when I was a kid, I watched the Three Stooges in the matinee there.
I first saw Red on TV in 1962. He is the funniest comedian I have ever seen. Nothing but pure clean humor. I loved the way he would get tickled at himself and make me laugh at his laughter. Red Skelton, Tim Conway and Carol Burnett - my all time favorites
I don't see any evidence that what you say is true Lonnie Stevens. Can you show me some proof. One of the biggest harms of the internet is people posting false information and people taking it as true just because it's on the internet. Research and critical thinking go a long way to getting to truth. Otherwise you end up with around 40% of the US population believing Trumps thousands of lies.
Miss this comedy in this year 2023. With the present chaos we have going on right now this takes me back to my childhood days of the 60s and 70s when life was simpler, TV was still decent and giants of comedy like Red Skelton still made us laugh 😂. Rest in peace Red and God bless your soul!!
This was my 2nd best show First came" Gunsmoke " then " Red Skelton ", later on I also watched regularly " The Guns of Will Sonnet " I miss that Family time in front of the TV with Mom and Dad.
loved Red and Walter.. they were such great entertainers... miss them bunches..I was just a child when they were on..enjoyed Walter as a great Character actor...
Loved the humor and Walter Brennan was great. Loved how he could talk so hillbilly and Ken Curtis was another who played Festus on Gun Smoke who portrayal was spot on.
Red Skelton RIP, you were the one and only funniest man of all time ever. I have a few of Red Skelton show in his honor. You were my idol and still you are my idol. You touched the 💓 of millions of people.
Walter Breenan is an Acadamy award winner and one of Hollywood's best character actors before turning to tv where I found him in the Real McCoys..loved in in Red River, To Have and Have Not , Rio Bravo etc
Je ne savais pas que Walter Brennan était un comique !!! Cela ne m:etonne guère !!!! Je l'adore !!! Mais il n:est plus de ce monde ! Il doit faire rire les anges à présent ! Paix à son âme ! 😅❤️❤️
I think one of my all time favorites about Red was how he just look sat the audience and makes side comments about the scene. I still laugh my butt off at this stuff no matter how many times I have seen the same thing over and over. His mime routines are classic too!
I wonder how many people these days even know who Red Skelton and Walter Brennen are? I can remember when my sister and I were very little and we weren't allowed to stay up to see Red Skelton's show. We'd hear it advertised or people talking about it and we thought it was a horror show about a red skeleton. There was some great comedy back then. I loved this video. Thanks for posting.
I do remember watching this back in the '50's & '60's .. they used to have a lot of great comedy hours back in those days & the days of great entertainment on TV...
LOL a red skeleton! Remember when that was in the Three Stooges? A skeleton ghost introduced himself as Red Skeleton. I met Red Skeleton one time when he was very old. I was walking across the lobby of the Quaker Square Hilton in Akron OH and I saw this familiar, tall, old man, accompanied by a younger (not young, maybe 50) blonde woman. I walked over and stuck my hand out and his hand completely enclosed mine. I told him I love his work and appreciated that it was clean, not vulgar. He thanked me and we moved on. He was in town for one of those "An Evening with Red Skeleton" shows. I would have gone but it was the night before.
@@pamczech5984 because they're not intelligent enough. Today's bunch can only use vulgarity and sex laced jokes and call it funny. Red opened his Vegas shows to everyone, kids included.
I lost all respect for Walter Brennan after it was reveiled that when Martin Luther King was shot and killed,he danced and did the jig on the set of a t.v show with a smile on his face.It goes to show that he was a true racist.
Just think.....This is comedy at it's finest. And to imagine, there are no four letter words, insults or other demeaning behavior. Yet we all laughed because it was funny. These gentlemen are truly from the Golden era of comedy and television
We only had one TV, everybody gathered around on Sunday night (after watching Lawrence Welk) to watch Red Skeleton. As a kid I didn’t really care for Lawrence Welk, but we watched what Daddy watched & didn’t complain!
"I had a good one but the censors come running downstairs..." God I love Red. Ever since I got the dvd collection when I was little... I live near Branson, MO where there's a guy named Tom Mullica that does a tribute show to him that he got permission for from Red before he died except Red made him promise not to swear and to stop drinking and smoking in order to do it. I went and saw him when I was like 9 or 10 and I was laughing so hard that I won his "best laugher" award.
A number of years ago I got to see him live at the Fox theater in Detroit. He was funny beyond words. I watched him sit at a makeup table and transforme from Red Skelton to Freddie the Freeloader right before my eyes he just changed. And the Great Lucille Ball was a close friend and so to say, student of Red Skelton
I had met Red Skelton when he was taking his mother to MD Anderson for cancer treatment there in Houston, TX. Talk about a very sweet person who always took time to visit those who stop him in the hallways during the many times he was there with his mother. Of all things, I had him signed an MD Anderson Breast Cancer Awareness pamphlet which was the only thing available to write on at that time.
Walter Brennan was just as fine a man as Skelton. Strong conservatives both of them. You can find photos of them at Repub political events. Brennan’s Christmas records were the BEST when we were growing up!
I remembered seeing the red skeleton in the early 60's including a 1958 repeat for summer, way before half them became kinescoped.but after seeing a 1961 clip of the Red Skelton show in its videotape form from c.b.s.I suspect they got the videotapes preserved and restored, but have not put them out on DVD yet like they have not yet with The Dinah shore chevy show videos. I got a DVD on red skeleton show but half are kinescope an only the 1968 episodes are videotape. This was from the Skelton estate, which mostly owns the Kinescopes.Like Carrol, Burnette,I watch this show from 61 c.b.s. to 69 on n.b.c. I Remember one episode in which he invited the government official of California or Los Angeles on a Christmas show appearance. near the end of the show. Wishing Skelton a merry Christmas.
hey dnt 4 get ohhhh deadeye hmself now i was n my -- n love 2 watch oldredshow 2 dam bad we cant go back n live the good olday u no,thanks 4 all those mem, makes want 2 cry 4 old time skake u no
I used to regularly watch the Red Skelton TV show when I was a kid. I also remember Walter Brennan from The Real McCoys.
Watched Red with my Mom and Dad as a child and years after. God bless him. A wonderful man! 🙏

I just absolutely love it when they can't keep a straight face. Makes it even funnier 🤣❤️
We need to bring comedy like this back on tv
I doubt it would stay on. Plus who would write it WITHOUT vulgar jokes?

I so agree 👍
I don't remember missing very many episodes of Red Skelton. He had everybody on his show, from Charles Bronson to John Wayne.

Funny skit plus it's obvious that the actors and audience were enjoying every minute of it.
Yes, Red Skelton was the best.
He had an upbeat and innocent, clean humor.
Watched him all the time as a kid and loved him, still do !

A legend for sure!! A great Christian man that was funny and didn’t ever take gods name invane !!❤❤
In vain.
@@JohnCritch-tf4mb thank you!
Skelton was GREAT!
The good ol days 😂. When skits were clean and the whole family could watch or listen 😂
Now days if you saw someone like Walter Brennan in a dress you wouldn't be ALLOWED to laugh.
I was born in 1959 in Arica Chile..I was 7 years old when i saw him in TV Black and white What a tender memories of my child... CLASSIC SHOW!
Hello Juan
My father saw Red Skelton’s show once. Was supposed to be an hour, but Red kept going for two hours. Dad said he never laughed so hard in his life.
I also saw him once many years ago. It was at the Canadian National Exhibition Grandstand show. All the big entertainers appeared there. I also saw Bob Hope, Bill Cosby and the Beachboys, at different times of course. I also watched a concert for Canadian athletes going to the 1980 Olympics in Moscow.

There is nobody nowadays they can hold a candle to these two gentlemen and many others from the past may they all rest in peace
Hello Wendy
I grew up watching the Red Skelton Show and loved it. He was the best. ❤️
Red skelton was my teacher my mentor my friend and i cried when he passed on sept 17 1997 Good night God bless Red 😍
I first saw Red on TV in 1962. He is the funniest comedian I have ever seen. Nothing but pure clean humor. I loved the way he would get tickled at himself and make me laugh at his laughter. Red Skelton, Tim Conway and Carol Burnett - my all time favorites
Don't forget Don Knotts, and Jerry Lewis
Uncle Miltie, (Milton Burrell).
He had a regular 1/2 hour show in the 50's I can remember making sure I was home in time to watch it every week
@Gary Daniel
Kacssac"cccc"
roy hoco I loved his show as a child then. I couldn’t wait for Freddie the Freeloader
We never missed Res Skelton in our house. Our favorite was Claud Cadidlehhopper.😊
Wasn’t it “Clem”? Clem Cadidlehopper? Either way it was great clean and funny!!!
Yes, CLEM@@pennybailey6359
I also loved the seagulls Gertrude and Heathcliff.
Walter Brennan killed me! I never thought I'd see him in drag and that high voice, lol!
My father was on a plane with Red Skelton and said he was courtius to everyone aboard. I'm glad I can remember those shows!
I loved watching the Red Skelton show and I was lucky enough to see him perform live. Truly a memorable evening!
Great actors! Mr. Brennan and Mr. Skelton. Both beyond par! A time of greatness in the American Cinema.
❤ Red's smile just one of the best thing on life.
We will never see their likes again. Glad they are on film.
My Daddy's favorite entertainer. Wonderful memories of watch Red Skeleton show with all our family ❤
Watched him with my Dad when I was a kid. Every week. Good man and so funny. The greats are gone.
The world needs more people like this today!!. It would be a much better place!!. I wished these to was still around. Rest in peace, And my god bless.
They told Red he would have to stop saying GOD BLESS at the end of his shows. Naturally he refused. GOD BLESS HIM.
Lonnie Stevens I didn't know that.

@@aspringwind People believed Obama's lies.
Red and Walter! Loved them back in the day and still love them in 2020.
James Henderson is ppl
I also used to watch this fabulous tv shows with my parents and older brothers,
Those were they days.
ole Red and Walter have brought alot of laughs and smiles to my face over the years. Good share....
Two of the best in the business

Red, reminds me of my youth, sitting on floor watching Red Skeleton with my parents, and hearing my Dad laugh🥺😢...
Red was the perfect example that you can make people laugh without using profanity
Sooo true!
I agree, I just think a lot of people are afraid to try new things.
That’s because he was a God-fearing man, unlike a lot of entertainers today. Sad.
So...so...true!! Wouldn't it be amazing if we could have shows, like this again!!
@@edithlewis9330 Yes, and all of these anti-God attitudes today are horrible.
No brag just a fact, miss all comedy and Western shows of the 60's and 70's.
Me too
You need to include the 50's that's when Red Skelton was at his best
no need to miss them! Keep watching that's what I do!
50s also.
True enough.
A comedian who DIDN'T need to swear to be FUNNY " GOD BLESS "
Red is still missed , he was GREAT as Clem Kadiddlehopper !!
The man was hilarious. This was one of my favorite skits of his since I was a kid.
Loved those two when I was growing up. Together they are killer.😁
Greatest times were the sixty and seventy ... God bless .
They were hilarious. I always enjoyed Red Skelton. I hadn't seen Walter Brennan in anything but movies and a series. He's so cute.
Look him up singing ‘Suppertime’ & ‘Old Chep’, get a box of Kleenex first.
@@Harley57 thanks
I watched RS when I was about 7-8 yrs old. I’d laugh so hard my stomach hurt. My parents would laugh at my laughing. 😆❤️

Great memories! Clean comedy!
Old enough to actually remember both!
Despite how cheesy Red could be I always loved how he just improved his way through any scene. He's a giant goofball but that's why I like him.
"improvised"
