Episode #222: The Red Skelton Show

We return to comedy with one of our favorites from golden radio, Red Skelton. Skelton preferred to see himself as a clown rather than a comedian. Indeed his energy and performance elevated him to an unusual place among other comics of the era. This one is all about the post-war meat shortage. Plenty of humor set around a serious topic that gives us a glimpse of the frustration of everyday American life of the time.
