red skelton

so, al at yt serves up some great stuff. i've watched a few old carson shows, and 1 came up w red skelton. the back story of how they met is insane and adorable.

i grew up w red. i adored red. i'm an amateur clown, and if i ever got a paid gig, i would binge red videos, and just steal, steal, steal.
this 1 came up next. enjoy.

I remember my parents encouraging my sister and I to watch whenever he appeared on tv. A really good guy, from all I can tell.
