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 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.

40 YEARS AGO.....Had the HONOR of meeting RED. Here is what HE TAUGHT ME......WRITE DOWN: GOOD. "X" OUT ONE "O": WHAT YA GOT LEFT??? GOD!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤ WAS A FANTASTIC MAN!!!❤❤❤❤
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.
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
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.
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
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 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 don't know why I never thought of this joke before: Where do horses go when they get sick? A horsepital I thought of it when he said "horsepital" in this video clip
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...
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.
I believe one of the bad guys is Hoyt Axton. His mother wrote Elvis's first big hit, Heart Break Hotel. His daughter. April Axton visited my home a few times. She was friends with our son.
That's an awesome memory. Thank you for sharing it. I had the good fortune of meeting Bob Crane as young man in Akron Ohio. He was here for the annual Soapbox Derby. I was a boy scout and was getting the flags ready for the raising ceremony. It was early in the morning and he was wearing a pair of dark sun glasses a tan trench coat jeans and sneakers. I thought he looked familiar but wasn't sure he was say 200 feet from me. I was at place by the flag poles that looked down over the Derby Downs and the municipal airport with the huge Goodyear blimp hanger. He walked over and was looking down at the scene and I said good morning to him. He replied in kind. We started talking about what I was doing and how the day was perfect for the races. I then finally got the nerve to say you're Bob Crane aren't you? He smiled and said yes but don't say anything to loud. You're the first person to make me today. He said he wanted to enjoy the morning before all the excitement got started. We talked for about 40 minutes just the two of us. He asked me about myself and family was I from Ohio just easy going chit chat. I asked him if there was any chance Hogan's Heroes would do any more shows like specials or a reunion type show. He told me no that after Sgt Schultz John Banner died it wouldn't be the same having someone else him. He autographed my ticket pass for the races and a few minutes after that he was noticed by some guy and was swamped. Not to long after that he was murdered. I'll never forget that day. He wasn't a celebrity he was just Bob Crane with me.
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 ! 😅❤️❤️
@@theresaholguin699 No gas attacks were banned after WW1 so weren't used during WW2 but flame thrower s & incendiary bombs that are filled with a flammable gel liquid that spreads & sticks to everything that burns soldiers was used as well as the atom bomb lol. Once the gas was banned then the machine guns were being made & used much more during WW1 to mow down lines of troops & soldiers who also rode horses in the fight on the fields . Both the Brits & the Germans would tunnel under the lines & try to tunnel under the barracks that held shelter for the troops without either knowing then would fill the cavern & tunnels up with explosives and then try to blow each other up which killed many as well as burying many alive . The Brits even had a huge flame thrower of sorts that very little is known about or seen but I had seen this on a tv channel that explained how it worked which was by creating a huge wall of fire that fried the front line troops but the problem was it was huge & cumbersome to move around so they dropped using it .
"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.
Red is one of my favorites. We'd imitate him and our daddy would get on to us. We'd say, "Red Skelton does it." He'd answer, "When you are paid as much as he is for acting like that you can do it."
Didn't American's TV screens suddenly go blank during a live Red Skelton TV show back in the 50s when Red Skelton put his hands in his pocket and said something like, "You know, I felt so bad today that I put my hands in my pocket and I just felt nuts!". A friend of mine said he saw that. Did any of you witness that? Was tgat true?
The Over the Hill Gang & The Over the Hill Gang Rides again...two of the funniest ones Walter was in.. and his album ...Old Rivers...loved it...made me cry
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!
Ya gotta love it. Back in the day when just about all entertainers knew how to spin a gun. Part and parcel to their craft. Now a days an actor has to train for a week just learn the basics of manipulating a single action revolver.
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.
At the end of each one of his shows, he would say may God bless you! He never said just God bless you because he said that would be speaking for God and he was not able to do that.
Odd that your only source is a movie reviewer. The stories of Brennan's alleged reaction to the MLK and RFK assassinations on the set of The Guns of Will Sonnett are obviously malicious lies, considering the series had gone into reruns on 3/15/68 and wasn't in production in either April or June of 1968. HIGHLY improbable and unlikely. Brennan worked with black actors throughout his career, including "Good-bye, My Lady" with Sidney Poitier and Louise Beavers in supporting roles
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.
You are absolutely WRONG!!, Neither one of those guys was Ed Asner. They look nothing like them.Get your self some glasses. Still a great clip from Red Skelton.
I do so remember the guy who played the bartender in this skit. I wonder who he was. Everybody keeps saying how clean his humor was. That was because it had to be. Haven't you noticed that he was always talking about the censors not letting him say the dirty things he wanted to say? I think the bartender was Patrick Campbell.
I just absolutely love it when they can't keep a straight face. Makes it even funnier 🤣❤️
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.

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 !
Funny skit plus it's obvious that the actors and audience were enjoying every minute of it.
We will never see their likes again. Glad they are on film.
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"

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

Skelton was GREAT!
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.

Walter Brennan was gassed while serving in WWI and his vocal cords were permanently damaged. This explains his somewhat strained, unusual voice.
Brennan was born July 25, 1894.

The stories of Brennan's alleged reaction to the MLK and RFK assassinations on the set of The Guns of Will Sonnett are obviously malicious lies, considering the series had gone into reruns on 3/15/68 and wasn't in production in either April or June of 1968. HIGHLY improbable and unlikely.
Brennan worked with black actors throughout his career, including "Good-bye, My Lady" with Sidney Poitier and Louise Beavers in supporting roles
Unfortunately, Walter Brennan was a horrible racist. One of the most hated men in Hollywood.
"How you like that. A drunken glass of beer." Gotta love how Red improv's scenes.
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.
They mistreated those poor, murderous thugs who would be treated as victims today.
The ending really cracked me up, so cheesy, yet so funny!
Hello Helen
You are absolutely WRONG!!, Neither one of those guys was Ed Asner. They look nothing like them.Get your self some glasses. Still a great clip from Red Skelton.
My Daddy's favorite entertainer. Wonderful memories of watch Red Skeleton show with all our family ❤
I watched every bit of this. How cool and what great memories!!!!!!!
Clem Kadiddlehopper would my father laugh so hard cry.
I miss the good wholesome family fun . Being together sitting in front of the tv watching comedies shows like this.
The man was hilarious. This was one of my favorite skits of his since I was a kid.
They sure do break that fourth wall like pros. Good fun.
Walter Brennan led quite an interesting life. And All the greats he worked with.
I do so remember the guy who played the bartender in this skit. I wonder who he was. Everybody keeps saying how clean his humor was. That was because it had to be. Haven't you noticed that he was always talking about the censors not letting him say the dirty things he wanted to say? I think the bartender was Patrick Campbell.
