i have several dvds of his show that I found while cleaning out my mom's house. I remember watching his show on b/w tv as a kid. About half of these could have "That's when the fight started!" added.

He really was a multi talented actor like many in that era, like Milton Berle and Jackie Gleason.

14. My wife backed the car out of the garage for me this morning; didn't really appreciate it since I'd backed it in the night before.

RED SKELTON'S RECIPE FOR THE PERFECT MARRIAGE
1. Two times a week we go to a nice restaurant, have a little beverage, good food and companionship. She goes on Tuesdays, I go on Fridays.
2. We also sleep in separate beds. Hers is in California and mine is in Texas.
3. I take my wife everywhere, but she keeps finding her way back.
4. I asked my wife where she wanted to go for our anniversary. "Somewhere I haven't been in a long time!" she said. So I suggested the kitchen.
5. We always hold hands. If I let go, she shops.
6. She has an electric blender, electric toaster and electric bread maker. She said "There are too many gadgets, and no place to sit down!" So I bought her an electric chair.
7. My wife told me the car wasn't running well because there was water in the carburetor. I asked where the car was. She told me, "In the lake."
8. She got a mud pack and looked great for two days. Then the mud fell off.
9. She ran after the garbage truck, yelling, "Am I too late for the garbage?" The driver said, "No, jump in!".
10. Remember: Marriage is the number one cause of divorce.
11. I married Miss Right. I just didn't know her first name was 'Always'.
12. I haven't spoken to my wife in 18 months. I don't like to interrupt her.
13. The last fight was my fault though. My wife asked, "What's on the TV?"
I said, "Dust!".
Can't you just hear him say all of these?
I love it. These were the good old days when humor didn't have to start with a four letter word. It was just clean and simple fun. And he always ended his programs with the words, "And May God Bless" with a big smile on his face.
Very chauvinistic, but very funny!! br In his day,... (show quote)


Red Skelton was a great comic - but he also was an even greater human being!!!

Red Skelton was great. I loved the way he laughed at his own jokes.

That’s so true. His laughter often made the jokes funnier. My Dad was a big fan and I remember watching the show with him. Great memories😊

A great comedian I remember watching, back in the '60's. Didn't he always end his show with a very sincere, "Good night and God bless you all" or something like that?

Always like him. Years ago I had two goats. Named them Gertrude and Heathcliff after Skelton's characters.

I adored Red Skelton when I was a kid, but my father was not a fan and didn't really like his style of humor from Vaudeville days. Once a week, in the schoolyard, the other kids would be talking about last night's show and I was out of it! So I got my father to watch Skelton one night and he found it pretty good. He liked it so much he became a rabid fan until Red went off the air decades later! By that point I found Skelton to be tedious. Still I have fond memories of the skit where Willie Lumplump comes home drunk and his wife has had the room rearranged so that it was tilted 90 degrees. He recreated it in the 1953 film, "The Clown."
