July 18, 2013 would have been RED SKELTON'S 100th Birthday. Good Night & May God Bless, Red!!!

They really don't make them remotely like Red Skelton any more. It's not hard to analyze. As he would have been the first to admit, he was full of corny Indiana hokum.

Skelton was an all-around entertainer. He left Vincennes in 1925 to join Doc Lewis's Patent Medicine Show.

I miss Red Skelton - He was a great clown and funny man!
