I got the chance to meet Red, when I was stationed over in Hawaii in 1975 & '76. There was a showing of a lot of his clown paintings, at a little art gallery in Honolulu. I remember it felt a little weird......seeing him in color, after growing up with a black & white television....LOL. I think he had on a blue blazer & still had the red hair. And a large unlit cigar. Took time to share kind words with everyone in the.line.
Red Skelton, what a truly funny, kind man! Yes, the ad-libbing on his old live shows really Was hilarious. Just watched "The Smog Czar" with guest, George Raft. Half the time, couldn't tell if it was Red (laffing at himself) who cracked up that old tough guy Raft! Great to see, pure fun!
I adore Red..he was so funny and a true humanitarian...he contributed to many charities mostly benefiting children. I read when he died he left a portion of his estate to two children's hospital. Rest in paradise Sir 🙏♥️
Wow. Chuck Connors really turned the tables on this show. Normally, the seasoned panel members have the "radar" to close in on a challenger's profession. But here, Chuck instincts were even more on target than the regulars. I would have liked to have seen him more often on this show to see if he just got lucky this time around.
I live in Canada. It would be a very great big joy if mr. skelton were still alive, and i could watch his show every week. Cause there is nothing on television any more. I was born in may 1961, I remember watching the red skelton show every week right until the very last show. I came upon a part of the red skelton youtube suggestion this afternoon of the skit with the cow going live on the stage on live televsion. Then i seen a clip of a canadian talk show called " The Dini Petty Show " with red skelton, i seen when it first aired in 1992/1993 when he was 80 years old. He is very funny. suggest you look it up. Around 40mins long. It is very good. Memories.
@@ParisFranceSydneyCapeBreton He became oddly reclusive and parsimonious about reuse of his material after his TV days were over. I doubt the IP restrictions he set up will allow any of it to have a second life on TH-cam, which is a shame.
@Paris France You're in luck! Many of Mr Skelton's shows are now on TH-cam. Though he himself was against reairing anything ever again on the four major networks, his films and specials were allowed on public television. He did like home video technology and his TV show has now been fully authorized by his surviving heirs, for internet streaming on a few streaming platforms, including TH-cam.
@@jamesfeldman4234 Find a good biography about Chuck Connors. He had a fascinating life before he became an actor, including being a professional baseball player.
In the '60's I watched Red Skelton's show every Tuesday night. I loved it. I needed it. I lived in a noisy house, man. Skelton's humor calmed my nerves.
I remember him simply reading a telephone book once, and it cracked me up. He also did the only pantomime that I could watch without wanting to scream and maim the performer.
I loved watching Chuck Connors portray Lucas McCain on "The Rifleman." In real life, he was 6'7" tall and he looked like he was built like a man that would be excellent handling a rifle and the bad guys. He was perfect for that part. I loved the way that his character Lucas McCain was such a good father to his son Mark- especially since Lucas had to raise his son Mark since Mark was a very young boy. That show was such a wholesome show.
I couldn’t agree more. His genius at comedy and pantomime were at a extremely high level!! We miss his humor and his way of just being funny with out a lot of politics and biased material. My wife and I went to a show when he came to Indianapolis back in the 80’s, and just had a great time! He is sorely MISSED!!!
Everyone in our family always watched every episode of the Red Skelton show & there were never any arguments about someone wanting to watch another show. Red was the very best! May he rest in peace & total contentment for the joy he brought to people.
Red Skelton was being honest in his own way when he said he wasn't a comedian. According to wikipedia, Skelton preferred to be described as a clown rather than a comic: "A comedian goes out and hits people right on. A clown uses pathos. He can be funny, then turn right around and reach people and touch them with what life is like."
Chuck as the Rifle Man, GREAT. Red pulling off his Helen Hunt joke, GREAT. Alot of talent on this show back then that unfortunately people now a days will never know. By the way I'm 37 and love watching these shows. Thanks TH-cam and MeTv for allowing us to watch real entertainment
I met Chuck Conners many years back when I was 11. He was very kind and so down to earth. A good man. Always kind of sad to see those who are no longer with us. But fun to watch at the same time.
I enjoy watching these old clips so much. I remember all these people but was too young at the time they were on to appreciate what I was seeing. Red Skelton was the best as was Chuck Conners and the rest of the panel.
Oh, these old shows. LADIES wearing dresses and gowns and white gloves. GENTLEMAN wearing suits and ties and rising when a ladies rises. Manners we are sorely lacking now.
Loved these old shows. This was from an era when television was clean and entertaining and any adult jokes were always in good taste. Today's entertainment could learn something from these earlier shows.
chuck connors is so bright. he plays this game so well. physically attractive, good control of his body he played baseball and basketball and he was bright. red skelton is another very remarkable man. he is well known as a comedian. he had a good attitude and was instantly loveable. some people have that special gift of being instantly loveable. besides his place in the limelight, red skelton was also an artist and a music composer. how? how did he do so much with his life? he only slept about 3 hours a day. he was always up and about taking an interest in life with his bubbly good attitude. if you have a red skelton painting you are probably a rich person, because they are very valuable.
Patrick Pfister - The panel members seemed to have so much fun interacting with each other with the audience enjoying their banter as well. All this with no vulgarity or sexual innuendos and no politics. I love these reruns. What a civilized time.
Anything that rises above the belt line is lost to much of today's audiences. They have no patience, nor appreciation for erudite or sophisticated entertainment. In their pursuit of transparent, in your face, no pretense, neo brutalist, entertainment. They've resigned themselves to the common, profane and vulgar treats they enjoy today.
@@thomaspiccirillo6820 L..O.L. Thank you. It seems I watched this video and made this statement five years ago. I had no memory of it, and no idea why I made the statement. I just watched it again. Ditto to myself, for everything I said.
@@fje6902 This is true. He also had a brief career as a basketball player (Boston Celtics 1947-48). He is one of a handful of athletes in the history of American professional sports to have done both.

between guest panelist and mystery guests, just about everybody whose anybody in the 50s and 60's has been on what's my line! wonderful to see them all!
@@marjoriemargel1567 Well Lucy did not have the best of reputation s either. I loved reruns of ILL but when I saw her in various shows I thought her hard.
Tom Kelly Of course! Lucy herself described herself as “hard”. She was tough, she was dating a Johnnie Mobster wanna be before she left her hometown for New York and a bigger future. She was certainly no innocent by the time she was a featured player in a Three Stooges comedy in the Thirties, ahem, if you get my drift....
Yes!I remember Red Skelton show ,Him and Milton Berle, and the golden age of t.v. those were the best we enjoyed watching. No swearing no anything and nothing bad.
Aritosthenes -- Steve Allen was hard not to like. He was witty and intelligent and could come up instantly with funny lines that were clever. I still think "Is it bigger than a breadbox?" was brilliant -- and, of course, the WML panel used it umpteen times after Steve first came up with it because it was both useful, funny and alliterative.
I got his autograph as he was coming off the plane to do a show at the Muni Opera in St. Louis when I was a kid. He gave me the warmest, most sincere smile. You could instantly tell he genuinely loved people.
watched "The Rifleman" all the time when I was younger ---------- was a great show and loved Chuck Conners in the movie, "Tourist Trap" ------------- if you get a chance, watch it ---------- it's one bizarre film!
If you watch more of these you’ll see both men stand and both women stay seated. I think it was the manners of the day that men stood out of respect and the women were afforded respect in that they could remain seated.
When I watch these neat old shows, sometimes I can't help but think back to how old I was then (6), and how different life was, slower, more laid back and pleasing to the senses. How very much all has changed.
Look at Chuck Connors' expression at 25:02 when John Daly gives him the sharp rebuke "you've been too good tonight". Then the two woman panelists step in to soften the blow with complimentary "good nights". That's a painful scolding to watch. I want to include a comment made 4 years ago by romeman01 that is worth repeating: The sixth sense of Chuck Connors in regard to the guests on this episode was extraordinary. I think, for purposes of putting on a good show, Goodson-Todman actually did not want anyone quite that capable of honing in on the professions. This was, in any case, Connors's second and last time on the panel.?
I am sorry I missed this episode as I was at the hospital causing my mother as much pain as possible, this would then continue for quite some time. All in all it was a good day to be alive, and this explains why I have always loved Mr. Red Skeleton. An amazing comedian and a better human being. I also was a big fan of Chuck Conner, coincidence, I don't know, maybe this was on somewhere in the hospital on that night.
My name is Chuck and I would have loved to have Dorothy sit beside me. But, in 1960, I was only two years old so I doubt I would have totally appreciated that honor at the time.
@Alanna Marie. Lol. Yeah, that was awesome! I have a niece who has the first name Alanna and the middle name Marie. I know that the name Alanna is not a common name. Wow! It's a small world. She lives in Maryland with her family.
What a treat to see Chuck Connors and Red Skelton on the same show! Red was a weekly visitor on our TV set. I remember mother belly laughing at his jokes and skits. The Rifleman was my Dad's favorite. I remember sitting on his lap while he watched the show. However, I couldn't remember the episodes until recently. I came upon the first several season of The Rifleman on one of the TV streaming apps. That show was really very good, realistic, and great for kids with the subtle moral lessons. We could certainly use shows like this now.
The clothes they were back then were so beautiful and glamorous. I know they have amazing clothing today, but there was just something about that time..esp in the musical movies. Dorothy Killgalin and Arlene Francis were both wonderful actors and appeared on film and Broadway, but will mostly be remembered by this show.
One of the many wonderful things about WML?, is it really provides a window into the current events and history of the day (something you're not going to get, for example, from Match Game). It's funny to hear Bennett slip up and refer to the "New York Giants", though of course they had only just recently (1958) become the San Francisco Giants.
I watch a lot of The Rifleman. Red Skelton is the first, I thought to exercise. One night his dancers came up with a performance--I think it was actually called--The Skelton. It really stands out in my mind. I must have been 12-years old.
May Red Skelton be one of Our Heavenly Fathers favorites... He NEVER cheapened himself, He never swore, He never told a dirty joke.... He was a gentleman.... R.I.P... Im glad I was alive to experience your humor and your love of people....
The beautiful woman - Joane Westermark was a brilliant scientific technologist in the environmental science division at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Previously, She graduated from Lowell High School and went on to attend San Francisco State University. While there she met her first husband, Tom Davis and they raised a lovely family. It was during college, she worked at Candlestick Park as one of the first women ushers.
This was, if I'm not mistaken, only one day before the legendary first Nixon/Kennedy debate, which drew a TV audience of nearly 70 million Americans. The largest TV audience up to that point.
Red mentioned that his pantomime show would take place in the same theater as What's My Line. I was in the theater in 2009 (now Studio 54....then CBS Studio 52). The theater has a huge balcony!
People exhibited such politeness, and professionalism... even "ordinary" guests. Not an innocence, just polite... missing today. Love Red Skelton, and liked the rest I recall Bennett Cerf passing... still a sad hole in my heart.
This episode was a smash! Red Skelton was a hoot, "Chief" Hellebrand seemed rather astute, Miss Sita Arora somewhat of a tute, and Miss Westermark a real beaut!

You can call me old . I just love this generation of America they were respected all over the world they have class Elegance and clean sense of humor
Something that is SORELY needed right now!

Fabulous comedian, and very inventive with his characters ! 😄💓🤠
Dorothy Kilgallen was an extremely good panelist. Given her love for investigative journalism surely made this game show an enjoyable time for her.
I agree. Considering what was happening in her personal life, I’m sure it brought her great relief. She was indeed a great journalist!
She was assassinated: th-cam.com/video/nvpkE29X3tM/w-d-xo.html

My name is Chuck and I would have loved to have Dorothy sit beside me. But, in 1960, I was only two years old so I doubt I would have totally appreciated that honor at the time.
I would've too
Lol the ending!
John: “See if you can get it very quickly”
Chuck Connors: Guesses in 28 seconds 😂 #likeaboss
@Alanna Marie. Lol. Yeah, that was awesome! I have a niece who has the first name Alanna and the middle name Marie. I know that the name Alanna is not a common name. Wow! It's a small world. She lives in Maryland with her family.
Mr. Connors never liked to disappoint and he did what he was asked to do. Lmao
I love Chuck covers great actor so good a master rifle man best ever ever
Red was brilliant comedian.So funny altering altering his voice.”Are you a comedian ?” “No.”
Dorothy looked at Chuck like he was a juicy piece of steak!
I miss America, its modesty, its honesty, its intellect and hope it is still out there somewhere like it was in 1960, and even better.
What a treat to see Chuck Connors and Red Skelton on the same show! Red was a weekly visitor on our TV set. I remember mother belly laughing at his jokes and skits. The Rifleman was my Dad's favorite. I remember sitting on his lap while he watched the show. However, I couldn't remember the episodes until recently. I came upon the first several season of The Rifleman on one of the TV streaming apps. That show was really very good, realistic, and great for kids with the subtle moral lessons. We could certainly use shows like this now.
I have to say that Connors is really smart!
The clothes they were back then were so beautiful and glamorous. I know they have amazing clothing today, but there was just something about that time..esp in the musical movies. Dorothy Killgalin and Arlene Francis were both wonderful actors and appeared on film and Broadway, but will mostly be remembered by this show.
Dorothy Kilgallen was never an actress.
One of the many wonderful things about WML?, is it really provides a window into the current events and history of the day (something you're not going to get, for example, from Match Game). It's funny to hear Bennett slip up and refer to the "New York Giants", though of course they had only just recently (1958) become the San Francisco Giants.
favorite from the 60's.
Plus Chuck Connors...I'm watching a double feature RIGHT NOW--The Rifleman.
I watch a lot of The Rifleman.
Red Skelton is the first, I thought to exercise.
One night his dancers came up with a performance--I think it was actually called--The Skelton.
It really stands out in my mind.
I must have been 12-years old.
My grandfather's favorite show.
Shawn. Start watching it. Could turn out to be your favorite show.
Dorothy was the best. Was. I hope the truth comes out.
@Diane Newman The Manhattan DA reopened the investigation into Dorothy's death in 2019. The truth has come out. She was not murdered.
I’m still not convinced. But I suppose we have to accept the findings.
@@gilliankew I reckon we will never know. Maybe in the afterlife we get to find out lots of things.
See book "DENIAL OF JUSTICE" by Mark Shaw. it came out in 2019 I believe
Mark Shaw’s book will change your mind! His in depth research leaves no doubt, as far as I’m concerned, she was murdered at her townhouse!!
May Red Skelton be one of Our Heavenly Fathers favorites... He NEVER cheapened himself, He never swore, He never told a dirty joke.... He was a gentleman.... R.I.P... Im glad I was alive to experience your humor and your love of people....
The beautiful woman -
Joane Westermark was a brilliant scientific technologist in the environmental science division at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Previously, She graduated from Lowell High School and went on to attend San Francisco State University. While there she met her first husband, Tom Davis and they raised a lovely family. It was during college, she worked at Candlestick Park as one of the first women ushers.
This was, if I'm not mistaken, only one day before the legendary first Nixon/Kennedy debate, which drew a TV audience of nearly 70 million Americans. The largest TV audience up to that point.
Just imagine how funny you have to be that when asked if you're a comedian you simply say no and everyone busts out into laughter.
Red was a remarkable human being. I got to see many of his paintings in San Francisco.
Red mentioned that his pantomime show would take place in the same theater as What's My Line. I was in the theater in 2009 (now Studio 54....then CBS Studio 52). The theater has a huge balcony!
Wow, I never realized that Chuck Connors was that tall. I knew he was an excellent athlete, but he looks REALLY tall here. He toward over Dorothy.
He was 6'6''
@@charlescanterbury9762 No. He was 6'7" tall.
@oldwestguy. In real life, Chuck Connors was 6'7" tall.
Chuck actually played baseball with the Cubs and Dodgers, and basketball with the Celtics!
He towered over most people. But he was the whole package including class and respect
People exhibited such politeness, and professionalism... even "ordinary" guests.
Not an innocence, just polite... missing today.
Love Red Skelton, and liked the rest
I recall Bennett Cerf passing... still a sad hole in my heart.
People actually had class, good manners and intelligence years ago.
Sita Aurora - what a beautiful and poetic name.
This episode was a smash! Red Skelton was a hoot, "Chief" Hellebrand seemed rather astute, Miss Sita Arora somewhat of a tute, and Miss Westermark a real beaut!
I noticed Miss W also!!!!!!
$50 may not seem like much money, but my mother was making $40/week in 1965 while washing dishes in a cafe.
