Red Skelton Interview 1981 (Rare) Part 2 of 3 Segments

[@sammyelliott5554]

What a humble man. We need more like him.

[@carolgoerke3109]

Red Skelton has always made my heart smile. One of Red’s best was the meaning of our Pledge of Allegiance. If anyone hasn’t seen it, you should. It’s a classic.

[@ericdee6802]

Red was a brilliant Man, that video and performance was mind blowing.

[@nahmaninisithole2734]

What a brilliant and kind person. Red, though we never met, I miss you my friend.

[@lynnpurcell7583]

He was a great man. He believed in God and this country. We'll probably never see anyone like him again.

[@normplatt7549]

What a great human being! Missed but not forgotten!

[@davecarvell]

I loved his show as a kid. As an adult, I discovered his old radio shows. I didn't think it was possible, but his radio shows are even funnier. He was a class act.

[@johnmccarthy3520]

I was glad to listen to this honest man. It was interesting that he said he wanted to get off the air before the show ended. Freddie the Freeloader was one of the optimistic types of humor that Red did so well. I think it is great that he refused to do some certain jokes.

[@TheVideopal]

He was a great man and friend. I was honored to do this interview and get his autograph. Vince Ducker

@@TheVideopal Your a very fortunate Man, you will forever will be blessed with Reds kind loving spirit.

I've posted quite a few shows that Mr. Skelton has done on facebook and it's sad how many and I suspect mostly younger people (I'm 72) reply with ugly comments. Things like.. that's funny? What a jerk. and other expletives directed towards him. Of all the actors, all the comedians, all of the clowns that ever where, the one person I would have loved to meet was Red Skelton. I respect and love everything this man has done in his life. There will never be another like him. I salute you! Rest in peace with love sir.

I had the opportunity to see both Red Skelton and Bob Hope live in concert (not together). I saw Mr.Hope in Peoria at the Heart of Illinois fair. He came out and did a 15 minute dialogue and you didn't see him the rest of the night. He was funny but I felt cheated because he wasn't there that long. I saw Red at the Fox theater in St.Louis. He put on a hilarious 2 hour show. To tell you how funny he was. My 2 friends and I stopped for pizza on the way home. Now I'm not one to turn down pizza. But i was so sore from laughing I couldn't even eat any pizza. He truly was the funniest comedian ever.

[@MarkWilliams-yk2sk]

Red simply was the cleanest funniest man that ever lived how on earth can you not watch this man and not laugh now in our 21 century comedy the cussing and the stories are funny as hell but to make a person today laugh with out cussing is hard this man does it effortlessly and he laughs at him self just as much as we do R I P Red you are cracking god up for sure what a treasure

[@douglasthompson9482]

simply the best....bring back integrity.

[@tarnsand]

It's impossible to listen to Red Skelton without feeling better about yourself afterwards.

[@EmilyGloeggler7984]

What a wise man.

[@fralinsandfriends]

I wish this type of show was on the airways again. I'm not too unhappy about the changes on KZbin where they've reduced the hate and foulness. 😀👋

[@colleenbrogenski658]

What a kind man full of integrity and love of god . So talented wish I could have known him maybe in heaven

[@sharonlaw7280]

Love you, Red. God Bless You!

[@russocomedy]

I liked his clarity of the basic seven jokes theory. There's thousands of jokes, he said, not seven, but there's just seven situations from which these thousands of jokes are derived.

[@ericdee6802]

One subject that Red was a pure genius with and that was defining subjects.

[@deltalove5868]

We need others to follow in his footsteps! Especially in today's world.

[@rosjeffries9485]

Awesome wonderful man, thank you for this interview love it

[@joeslob1199]

The Travel of Red ... should be written! I wish I had one of his paintings. I was 5 is 62-4 And loved him through the CBS years of 65-thru. This ma EVEN in his elder days! WAS the Sharpest TAC I WILL ever know!| I got a brother with Red hair I would trade... much as I love him! GOD Love you always Red. Will do all I do to keep your Genius ALIVE!

[@jamespage5795]

Red was a great man with insight and love for all.

[@carolynmihelcic4702]

What A Man what a performer Multi Talented ....

[@ericdee6802]

What a humble man. If Red isn't all American, I don't know who is.

[@patriciaking9482]

I wish that I could send Red Skeleton's "PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE" to everyone, especially our Government Officials

[@michaell.bellas7648]

Red Skelton a great man, He entertained me went I was young

[@edcpike]

Love that man. He could make me laugh without saying a word.

[@landztranz]

One of the greatest! But he was wrong about All in the Family. It didn't cause hatred; in fact, I think it did just the opposite, namely, poked fun at bigotry, which is what we need more of today! It was a great show!

[@bluenote1951]

What an amazing man!

[@SenorZorrozzz]

He was one of those who did a number of characters. His were so funny and different.

[@hightea2546]

A very Moral Man , not see his like again

[@lunasol1244]

God bless you R.I.P. Amen 🙏

[@scottaw666]

Very interesting commentary by Red in regards to the character of Archie Bunker and CBS.

[@santosgarcia6698]

Archie bunker did not spread hate and propaganda it actually educated people against hate, racism, homophobia, etc. Red was extremely conservative.

[@julieabraham3566]

What Red said about All In The Family was spot as to why I never cared much for the show. Someone spewing hate talk isn't funny. Repeating someone else's hate talk isn't funny. Hate talk is just not funny. Granted, there were many scenes and one-liners in the show that were very funny, but I could never warm up to the "humor" of Archie's ignorance.

[@SenorZorrozzz]

Amazing
