TV show description:
This variety show began on the radio before moving to television.

Legendary Red Skelton’s comedy transitioned well from the airwaves to the small screen. Each show begins in the same fashion: Skelton delivers a monologue which often features the characters of George Appleby (a husband who endures constant nagging from his wife) and Gertrude and Heathcliff, two very dim seagulls. This is then followed by a musical performance by a guest, often accompanied by band leader David Rose and his orchestra. One notable guest performance comes when The Rolling Stones make their first American television appearance on the show.

After the guest musical act, Red and his team of performers — Benny Rubin, Hans Conried, Mel Blanc, and Verna Felton — perform sketches featuring characters created by Skelton. The most famous is hobo clown Freddie the Freeloader.

Other characters include backwoods Clem Kadiddlehopper, incompetent Sheriff Deadeye, boxer Cauliflower McPugg, and real estate agent San Fernando Red. Though often keeps his audiences crying with laughter until the very end, Skelton always concludes the show on a serious note. He wishes his viewers his trademark farewell, “Good night and God bless.”
