Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

From vaudeville and radio to Hollywood and television, the late Red Skelton was truly the King of Laughter, and this hilarious compilation celebrates his reign with comedy bits, sketches, and Red's trademark ad-libs. Included are a rare clip of Red's famous vaudeville routine, Guzzler's Gin; a prevue for his film Public Pigeon No. 1; and footage from his Emmy Award-winning show, with guests Jack Benny and Ed Sullivan. Ed enacts such memorable characters as Cauliflower McPugg, Clem Kadiddlehopper (teaching Pedestrian Polo), Willie Lump Lump (showing how to make a salad), Deadeye, and BBC newscaster Lord Beaverhead. You'll also see rare clips from rehearsal show with Martha Raye, with uncensored ad-libs and goofs never aired on TV, and the classic blooper that occurred when an onstage cow contributed its own unique "ad-lib."

4.0 out of 5 stars Classic Comedy., April 3, 2002
By tvtv3 "tvtv3" (Sorento, IL United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
Red Skelton was one of the great classic comedians. Other than the ailing Bob Hope, there aren't any other comedians living like Red Skelton. He was from an era of entertainers that have been lost from us forever. This DVD collection includes a small snippet from Red's "Guzzler's Gin" vaudeville routine, a trailer for the film PUBLIC PIGEON NO. 1, footage from Red's Emmy-winning television show, and an uncensored television rehearsal with Martha Raye.

The DVD isn't very good picture quality. However, footage of Red Skelton is rather difficult to find and for around six dollars, you can't go wrong. This DVD is worth having for the Martha Raye rehearsal alone.
