[@jakre10]

My gosh, I look back on this and realize I was only 2 years old in 1951. But never ever missed his show. Loved Red Skelton

[@JohnSmith-cf4gn]

I would love to go back to the 50s when I was a kid and times were good.

[@debbiemcclaskey5765]

I was fortunate I met Red Skelton at Purdue University in the eighties after his performance . I have a photo of us together. I was so excited ,I smiled so big my eyes closed I'm from Vincennes Indiana where Red was born. My family watched the Red Skelton hour every week. . Red Skelton was and is a WONDERFUL MAN . IM PROUD TO HAVE KNOW HIM

Only in your mind.

[@THREESISTERS15]

Boy do we need a Red Skelton today!

[@willoughby1888]

... and we need one tomorrow too! Throw in a Clem Kadiddlehopper, a Willie Lump-Lump, and a Cauliflower McPugg and I'd happily apply for the jobs myself, pay or no pay! Well I gotta go see a man about a stop sign! If you don't hear from me by tomorrow I'll see you yesterday and the day before that even. Even or odd, one or the other anyways!

[@danielstewart7163]

I've loved Red Skelton since my childhood in the 60's.

[@deannarehmsmeyer3865]

Loved this show. This man couldn't of known all the people that received get joy from him at a time in our history where it was needed.

[@DonizeteMesa-zi3rf]

Otimo ator e humorista gosto dos filmes dele.

[@cathiefisher8181]

So great to see this video of Red Skelton. Watched his show every Sunday night along with my Mom and Dad and siblings growing up. What a blessing to be able to watch this today so close to Christmas 2020. Love his message at the end of this show with the message about the Christ Child and the needy not the greedy. Merry Christmas to all and God Bless. Stay safe during this Pandemic.

[@holliday0191]

Cathie Fisher So true I was a lucky one with my family watching Red every week with my great family. Wonderful times!

[@susanromaniello1122]

Love you and miss you...........❤️

[@idasimmons5123]

Red was a great entertainer and I really enjoy watching his videos. Thanks so much.

[@DonaldBowen-td5ct]

Ever since I was a kid I loved clowns and he is still the king!

[@threynolds2]

6:27 - Should be Skeltons, not Skelton's. BTW, Red is my favorite comedian of all time.

[@terrypolen4241]

Wow. What excellent TV

[@TheBee87bee]

The Fuller Brush Man and Merton of the Movies are two of my most loved Red Skelton films.

[@pamelajordan5948]

Love him Sense I was a kid

[@carl77242]

I was 10 years old when I started watching this show he was a great comedian 😂😊🎉❤

[@stephenmaxwell5161]

what a wonderful gentlemen who was given the shaft by movie producers and owners.

[@lorichernich6487]

Red Skelton did the voices of Father Time and baby bear in Rudolph’s shinieynew year good family show red was one of a kind cared about people

[@johnparris2353]

Beautiful stuff thanks red

[@waynedavies3185]

Memorize, my how time flies. Watching this takes me back to my childhood, especially when it was Christmas time, and I was allowed to stay up and watch his show. Till now, I have never seen Red's family, both his wife, and two children. That and David Rose and his wife, so this was a first for me. What a delight to see them. Red had a wonderful family. I never got to see this show, as I was too young to watch it, as I was only 4 yrs. old at the time this program aired, so it is nice to be able to go back in time, and catch-up on what I missed out on watching. Videos of time past, sure brings back many memorizes of youth, and family gathering around the TV set at Christmas time. It's sad that shows like this are not produced any more. Shows on TV are not worth watching anymore these days, and not worth the price of cable connections, so thank goodness for the internet, and You Tube, to bring it all back to us older folk, as well as to the young. Shows like this are more family watching oriented. Nice clean, wholesome, programming for all the family to watch. Thanks to whomever posted this video on You Tube. You made time stop and go back in time to better home TV. viewing. 😆😆😆😆😆

[@nickmad887]

thanks

[@trentaccid2177]

THIS MAKES ME SAD THAT LITTLE BOY IS REDS SON THAT DIED. RED LIVED HIS LIFE TO MAKE PEOPLE HAPPY AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE LAST ONE TO LOOSE A CHILD.

[@encyclomedia_official]

Yes, it's truly tragic. One of those extraordinary people who's life mission was to make others happy and should never have had to suffer such a terrible loss :(

[@danielstewart7163]

A true tragedy. I watched him when i was young and he's still one of my top 3 comedians. His act is so clean you can show it in church but still funny, even after all these years.

[@evishible5960]

His wife took her life also the same year his son passed of leukemia...she had cancer and left Red a note stating she did want him to grieve but only once in that year... so sad for a man who only wanted to make people laugh...he had a big heart to give of himself so selflessly...

[@sandeboyer8279]

He had a daughter VALENTINA!!

[@JJJBRICE]

It was so sad to see this Christmas show from 1951 with having his then wife and children appear with him on stage . His sons death broke Skelton's and his wife hearts . i guess little Valentina is still with us at this time . A rare appearance by maestro David Rose with his wife . No Martha Raye or Judy Garland in sight

[@johnnypage519]

Good Night ya'all

[@willoughby1888]

I wager there wouldn't be any sidewalks left if Red Skelton and Dick Van Dyke were to try to walk arm in arm on them. They'd fall down so much that they'd break them into smithereens, then break up all the smithereens, too.

[@timegan514]

Who plays the maid?

[@gnelms24]

Shirley Mitchell plays the maid.

[@540Baseball]

Did Red say, “no shittin’” at 2:16 ?

[@encyclomedia_official]

It really does sound that way 😂

[@WhiteBladeZero]

@@encyclomedia_official No, he said "no kiddin'"

[@johnwalker3620]

Yes, he did.

[@pamelajordan5948]

I thought it was Costello

[@kevinvanmeter2264]

"Richard Bernard Eheart" is not correct. His real name was Richard Red Skelton. This interview with Johnny Carson proved it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iaPYn2SpaNKeisU

[@encyclomedia_official]

Good find! That's some fun information learned

[@keithusace4352]

I can only imagine how the woke would react if a celebrity came out on stage with a gun these days, he would be cancelled tomorrow.

[@freddyfurrah3789]

72 years have passed. ANYTHING NEW? LOL
