UltravioletTRex49909, My family is from Indiana, and when one of my children was assigned a project featuring a famous Hoosier he wanted to do Red Skelton. We made a paper mache doll together. What fun.

UltravioletTRex49909, in the 60s and 70s we always watched the Red Skelton show and the Carol Burnett show two of the best comedians ever. I had a deaf brother that passed in 2011 that would sit on the floor and laugh and laugh and laugh at both of their shows I miss those type of shows

Red Skelton made me laugh so much, especially when he did Gertrude and Heathcliffe, the seagulls! That was a program that made me feel really good. My family would watch it together. Great memories!

I just watched an episode of Johnny Carson that featured Red Skelton. According to Red, his real name was Richard Red Skelton and it was a teacher that insisted 'Red' was a nickname so Red came up with Bernard as his middle name. Was this one of Red's jokes? I don't know.

I loved to watch him perform his skits. What talent! His Pledge of Allegiance was an honor to him to perform. The pantyhose skit was very funny.

Late in Red's career, he worked stand-up in smaller venues. I was staying at the old Clock Tower Inn in Rockford, IL. They had a nice steakhouse restaurant and a modest coffeehouse kind of restaurant. I was at the coffeehouse, and saw Red sitting in a booth by himself having dinner before his show. As I left, I stopped by and apologized for bothering him but said that I wanted to tell him how much I enjoyed him for years. He was so gracious, asking me not to apologize and thanking me for stopping by. A true gentleman.

Watched him with Daddy until he went off the air. Mr. Skelton was my fave of the tv comedians. He provided a diversity of characters and was true to them while being funny and occasionally inspired pathos.

I was honored to see him perform live once, and after the show he went backstage for 30 minutes then came back out, pulled up a chair at the edge of the stage, and signed autographs and choked with people for an hour and a half. I simply amazing man
