Comedy - Red Skelton - The Eiffel Tower &, The Standing Ovation & Freddie the Freeloader

[@mikemalone9896]

I had the privilege of being in the studio audience for the taping of one of the Red Skeleton Hour shows. The dancers recorded at a different time and place so they were not in the show taping that night. We laughed so hard for the TWO hours we were there. He was truly an outstanding entertainer. On a bus tour while I was visiting, we were taken by his house. While it was a very nice home, it wasn’t a huge mansion, just a nice brick home. Entertainers Tod could, and should, take lessons from his career!

[@robertwashburn1085]

Today's. Comedians could never and will never hold a candle to this man ! A gentle soul and a gentle man !

[@chrisgutzler1338]

8/2024 Marvelous , words can't convey my feelings for this video of this great entertainer. This great man.

[@dougwallace5036]

He most definitely was an still is the greatest comedian that ever lived

[@timwirtjes6759]

The best clown ever. Loved him as a child and still do as an adult. My his soul rest in heaven. Love!! Love !!

[@kellyjustus6394]

He honored the flag and loved our country. This is beautiful. Patriotism like this is the reason I served.

[@stevenbaer4979]

My parents and I watched Red Skelton 📺 TV show in the 70's. He was too much, he always laugh at his own jokes. He was a true American Idol, a king of laughter. If they bring back these old time comedians the world of today will be a better place to live. But sadly almost all have gone among us not forgotten from us. I have only one thing to say RIP Red Skelton you were the best comedian ever. You brought so much laughter to your family, friends, the Royal family, fans, and people. 😣😄😊😭😲😟😃😀😊😄😄😭

[@davidrains3918]

I was born in ‘59 and tried to never miss the Red Skelton Show growing up. Watching this made me laugh like I was a kid again. It also made me weep for what the world has become.

[@nancycalhoun3702]

He stuff has ALWAYS & WILL ALWAYS be funny & no vulgar.

[@benarchuleta9691]

Red Skelton was the best tv comidan in his time watched him every week

[@crystalroseblue6760]

He is a scream ,incredable comedian .......always and forever ❤

[@LeatherneckJoe133]

I remember in the 1950s when I was a kid I watched him every week, I miss this kind of comedy...God bless

[@teresajeffries7611]

The greatest clown that ever lived He didnt use vulgar language and still made you laugh. I love him.

[@eric21200]

That's one of the things which made him so great. He never had to use 4 letter words!

[@kevinbutler1955NYC]

He always made m laugh..he really knew how to entertain a family audience.

[@jamesconner7235]

Love this man. I’m almost eighty years old now and still laugh about him with my brother. !!!

[@gailchypyha2781]

I grew up watching Red Skelton, he was amazing. Funny and didn't swear ..good clean fun. Ge had a life if tragedies, but always managed to make people laugh. A true gentleman. The world needs more like you. Heaven gained a Comic...our loss.

[@nathonics]

Definitely one of the brightest, most talented, and funniest comedian ever. Such a kind and endearing soul. They’re never be another one like him. Rest In Peace, Red Skelton (July 18, 1913-September 17, 1997)

[@kayhilsenkopf7223]

I wish that I had seen him in person. I absolutely love to shows and he was one of the greatest comedy people in the world.

[@dianalewis8681]

It’s great to run down memory lane with a short visit from a wonderful ambassador named Red Skelton Good wholesome clean fun gets more laughs because he is genuine and he always closed with May God Bless til we meet again. THANK YOU MR RED SKELTON'!

[@imasportsphileiii6483]

Diana Lewis, thanks for your comment....for we at www.imasportsphile.com responsible for posting this video along with 2900+ others (currently) on our site have a huge amount of THANKS MR RED SKELTON to offer....as his videos have brought nearly 3,000,000 views alone to our site....which proves that there are a great number of folks who love wholesome clean fun....and love to laugh.

[@marysquillacote7076]

There will never be another Red Skelton. He was, is and always will be the top comedies. P

[@marquittablaine2160]

Grew up watching Red Skelton. He made you laugh, made you cry, taught you some life lessons and how to treat your fellow man. I wish my children could have seen his shows along with my grandchildren. He was a humanitarian. One show I have never forgotten and can still see the little boys face in my mind. Was at Christmas when a young boy sang " the little drummer boy". His shows were full of laughter and lessons to be learned. Glad I got to see him growing up.

[@bat2185]

It is 2020 and Red still makes me laugh and cry .The last one as Freddie allways makes me cry.Good night and may God bless .Rip Red Skelton

[@michaellorion5956]

You could say, the king of comedy.

[@fredflintstone7943]

My Mother had passed away, as expected I was very distraught. A few months later I saw this special. It was the first thing that made me smile after that tragedy. Thanks Red! R.I.P.

[@patnasti]

Can't find the interview with Red from Canadian hostess her name was Didi or like that.Red was a man of extraordinary talents beside comedy which we all wish could be instilled in more comedies,Red said the ones that use the raunchy things do it out of fear and insecurity

[@ktsenya2]

MAY GOD BLESS THE SOUL OF THIS WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL MAN

[@nickgarcia6151]

"Good evening ladies and gentle men. I feel great tonight. I slept like a log last night. I rolled out of the fire place twice" I remember Red Skelton starting his sows with 1 liners like that making us all laugh

[@janetsiders-vd3gg]

Red Skelton 😅 Is the funniest Man that Mimed as well as tell jokes enjoy himself , around the world 🌎

[@R.L.KRANESCHRADTT]

How wonderful it is to have these videos available today.

[@robertabell9182]

One of brightest moments in younger days. Always Enjoyed. Shame it was on only once a week. All day long Yahoo like Red Says God Bless.

[@BeardeDeath]

I grew up watching Red Skelton with my grandfather. To this day I laugh more watching Red Skelton than any comedian today

[@imasportsphileiii6483]

He trruly had the God given talent to make folks laugh....he is our HERO here at ImaSportsphile....and we didn't EVEN know who he was before we started posting THE 1900 vintage videos we posted on our webpage two years ago. We are so happy to share Red with a world that didn;t know him.....a rare treasure and still today America's Clown Prince.

[@imasportsphileiii6483]

PS.....hope this video brought back great memories of your grandpa and times you spent together

[@whatdoidonext2234]

The talk is great, especially 8:27 thru 8:45. Proof that you don't have to use politics or foul language to entertain! I had the privilege to see him in person many years ago and it was an incredible show! Thanks for posting this and bringing back good memories!

[@imasportsphileiii6483]

It is our joy and privilege at www.imasportsphile.com to post our entire collection of 10,000 vintage videos from an era that is too soon being forgotten....as we believe the talents of the artists of this era deserve their place in history....and deserve to be remembered for their work.

[@kevinbutler6572]

Two of my favorite Red Skelton pantomimes and his only concert appearance as"Freddie The Freeloader".

[@imasportsphileiii6483]

Kevin Butler, thanks for comment to our video and the tidbit that this video was the only time that Red did :Freddie The Freeloader" on television....for since we have received 1000s of comments and 2 million view of all of our Red videos posted at ImaSportsphile to date....we really like to learn that our video contains such rare footage.

[@kevinbutler6572]

You're Welcome..ImaSport.

[@joepinheiro1809]

Kevin Butler by all

[@kyled8713]

He really was America’s Clown. He’s been gone 23 years and is interred about 40 minutes from my area in a very nice crypt. I sure miss him.

[@barbaraaspengen9810]

God truly gave us a GREAT gift of laughter WITH RED. Thanks GOD May he rest in peace like we all must do.

[@imasportsphileiii6483]

Barbara Aspengen, thanks for your comment....for it is this lil ole chiweenie Sportsphile's opinion after posting hundreds of vintage comedy videos in my Comedy section at www.imasportsphile.com that Red Skelton had a God given talent to make folks laugh....which he honed and improved over the 70+ years that he entertained people....cuz God let him stay on Earth for a long time as He knew folks just needed to laugh more....and the beautiful thing about this man's humor was that it never degraded or demeaned anybody. Check out the many Red Skelton videos that I have already posted....I know you will enjoy them.

[@creepersgobanggaming610]

a true comedy legend at work with Mr. Red Skelton.

[@imasportsphileiii6483]

for me, he was the greatest clown of all times.....I have or will have more Red, along with many many other great comedians at www.imasportsphile.com with 1300 video posts (300 hrs.) of sports, comedy and music...with 2000 hrs to go

[@rwb010109]

Fantastic skit by one of the best ever.

[@quiettman11]

JUST GREAT............WE COULD USE HIM NOW!! TY FOR POST

[@imasportsphile6247]

The reason we have posted over 300 vintage comedy videos at www.imasportsphile.com is because the artist of the Greatest Generation and Baby Boomer Generation deserve to have their incredible talents remembered....and that is why we are so blessed to have a dozen Red Skelton videos already posted.

[@cartergilleland5828]

he will always be in my heart

[@imasportsphileiii6483]

Carterr Gilleland, thanks for your comment....for Red Skelton was so special in his ability to make ALL FOLKS laugh.....and of the 1500+ vintage sports, comedy and music videos that I have post in the past year on my webpage at www.imasportsphile.com....of which have been viewed 2.9 million times....and because of Red Skelton's God given ability to make people laugh without ever degrading or demeaning anybody....for he was special and I have many more videos already posted of America's Clown Prince.

[@GeorgeSmith-pe9vy]

Always enjoyed watching his shows. 😊😊

[@Lvaladez114]

So simple but profound! 👏♥️

[@mitchelputman538]

Our family watched , all of reds shows . Loved them all .

[@imasportsphileiii6483]

Mitchel Putman, thanks for your comment....cuz at the core of the reason for undertaking the daunting task of posting our entire 2300 hour vintage video library....is the intent to bring good memories back to life.....and to pay tribute to the Greatest Generation and the Baby Boomer Generation....as these people in this library all deserve to be remembered....in a time they are so quickly being forgotten....and after 2 years of posting 1900 videos (500 hrs)....the star of our vintage library is Red Skelton....by a long shot....he without a doubt is the most beloved entertainer of our library....and althrough we at ImaSportsphile weren't even a gleam in our daddy's eyes when this library was recorded....I have grown to love and admire Red Skelton....God gave Red the gift to make people laugh....and he knew that people need to laugh more....and that is why he got to stay here and entertain....cuz we all need to laugh more.

[@mitchelputman538]

Imasportsphile III , BTW I had the pleasure of meeting Mr skeltons co host . She lived in Palm springs and had a wonderful collection of Mr skeletons clown paintings . So many infact so many some we're stored in her closet .

[@mitchelputman538]

Imasportsphile III , I guess you know red skelton also painted many clown paintings . I met his costar in Palm springs she many of those clown paintings. They were beautiful , I wonder if it his way to remember his farther , who left the family to pursue a career with the circus .

[@imasportsphileiii6483]

Mitchel Putman, we a ImaSportsphile did know that Red painted clowns... for the truth be known....he was a very successful artist financially....as your comment regarding his father becoming a circus entertainer was something we did not know about Red....and the question of whether it was was way of remembering him....possibly so....was his father a clown....cuz Red definitely had a clown inside of him.

[@imasportsphileiii6483]

You just continue to add to our ImaSportsphile story of Red Skelton....and we thank you so much.

[@terrordactyl4425]

I am old enough to doubt I will see another that is as great as Red

[@ktsenya2]

What a great, great man he was. He was extra ordinary.

[@sharonlaw7280]

Red, good night and May God Bless!

[@507dannyfe]

I wish more people remembered Red.

[@rssempresas7478]

joy bergemann, we at ImaSportsphile responsible for posting 2000 other vintage videos similar to this Red Skelton video can honestly say that millions of people do remember him....as we have had 1.5 million views of Red's videos on our webpage....plus, the reason we are in process of posting a total of 10,000 vintage videos on our site is because we feel strongly that the comedians, musicians, artists, entertainers, athletes et al of the Greatest Generation and the Baby Boomer Generation deserve to be remember in a world that is too soon forgetting.

[@pdqmusic3873]

The march that was played during his "Parade" sketch here was composed by Red Skelton. It is called "Red's White and Blue March". So talented.

Such words of wisdom we should all heed and follow, in spite of recent events of this comment in the US. We are to build up in love not tear down in fear. We remember the past so we do not repeat the mistakes of old but continue to build and lift each other up out of love.

We at Ima Sportsphile have had our current 1700 (500 hrs.) vintage videos posted on our site viewed some 4,000,000 times over the past year.....with thousands of comments that we have responded to....for your comment is "spot on" as to why we are posting our entire 2300 hours of vintage video library....as this past and this generation of folks like Red Skelton is too soon being forgotten....in a world of today that is too easy to hate instead of love.... even if that means to love to disagree.

Thank you for the tears where did these times go? today people would have a problem with this skit finding everything wrong with what is said and everything preformed. Mostly because he mentions God.
