Red Skelton was one of my favorite entertainers when I was growing up.

Re: Red Skelton
I liked it when Red played the seagulls, Gertrude? Also did you all notice that the parents were sleeping in "separate" beds? The other thing I noticed was that most of the skit was (as we "think" NOW) politically incorrect, such as mom slapping kid, and then leaving with suitcases. What a difference a lifetime makes!!

There was also the veiled racial piece when he did the ghost bit in this video. It would not get past the censors now.Originally posted by FriedaKateM View PostComment

Re: Red Skelton
I love how he laughed at his own jokes - very infectious.author of "A Faerie's History of Caledonia" (a short history of Scotland - with a twist).
