		Skelton had a strong group of support players, most of whom had worked with him on his radio program.

	The Red Skelton Show (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Personally I don't care if Red banged her right there on the air, but people who say Red was a comic who always worked clean are remembering history the way they wish it had been (sort of like people who say Reagan was the greatest President of the 20th century).
		Red is a model for many comedians who have followed in his wake, but only Johnathon and Robin have come close to filling his shoes.
		It might also interest you to know his show was cancelled by TPTB not because of low ratings (the show finished in the top 20 right up to the end) but because the network wanted to draw a younger demographic.

	DVD Verdict Review - The Red Skelton Collection
		I saw most of his shows in the early 1960s; his skits and gags were the hot topic every Wednesday in the high school cafeteria as well as over backyard fences.
		Red Skelton was the second greatest pantomime artist—right behind Marcel Marceau—and there was both humor and pathos in his performances.
		Red Skelton's films, such as DuBarry was a Lady (1943), The Fuller Brush Man (1948), and I Dood It (1943) still appeal to everyone, so some Skelton fans may want to give this collection a shot.

		Red Skelton insisted on getting his television skits done on the first take, even if it meant ad-libbing around blown lines and failed props.
		The son of a former circus clown turned grocer and a cleaning woman, Red Skelton was introduced to showbiz at the age of seven by Ed Wynn, at a vaudeville show in Vincennes.
		Television historians have long suspected that he was a victim of the 1971 television purge that took place after the success of All in the Family wherein CBS rid itself of all "nice shows" in favor of shows with edgier subject matter.

		Skelton's explication and rendition of the Pledge of Allegiance proved to be quite popular and widely acclaimed, and in response to public demand it was issued in print and pressed into records.

		Red Skelton’s Christmas Jollies is a collection of skits taken from that variety show, centered, of course, on themes of the Christmas and New Year’s holidays.
		Red Skelton’s Christmas Jollies, for many, will simply be a nostalgic trip back to the past, and a few laughs thanks to some fondly remembered holiday jokes; however, it is also a window to how very different television used to be from how it is now, both in content, and in character.
		Back when Skelton’s show was on the air, it was live – not “recorded live before a studio audience” – but really aired live, with no seven second delay, so when someone forgot a joke or a punchline, he or she had to run with it.

	The Red Skelton Show in Branson
		Mullica, a close friend to the late Red Skelton, expertly portrays the comedian and his host of lovable characters.
		Skelton’s gawky and silent open-mouthed laugh, the easy Midwestern drawl, and his characters’ flirtations with anger and frustration flow easily from Mullica.
		Skelton’s flair for physical comedy is best reflected in Mullica’s reprise of ‘Guzzler’s Gin,’ a Skelton favorite bit in which a thirsty TV pitchman gets positively pig-eyed.
