Boo to "woke" PBS who intentionally cut off his "Good Night and God Bless" at the end of his shows. My family intentionally cut off donating to PBS

Red Skeleton once said “I never said a dirty word or made a dirty gesture and I made people laugh” now that’s talent.

I miss Red. His humor. His compassion. His gentleness. He was one of a kind who will never be replaced.

Red Skelton was one of the best comedians we had to make us laugh. His television show was surely fun to watch. And he always closed his show with "Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your evening. So, until next week, i'll say good bye and may God bless". Thank you, Red for being a part of our evenings and may God bless you. RIP Richard Skelton

I watched his show every week as a child. He was so kind always loving and never made fun of anyone nor offended anyone. GOD BLESS RED

Not only was Red Skelton a family-friendly, incredibly funny comic, but he was also amazingly multitalented. He composed over 60 full-length symphonies, as well as hundreds of songs. He was an accomplished multi-media artist who worked with pastels, oils, and sketches. Yet he was unpretentious, remaining humble and very generous. He was definitely one-of-a-kind.

You just can't find clean comedy like this anymore... I watched his show every chance I got... what a wonderful gentleman...RIP Red... we love you, thank you so much.

He was the only comedian who could make the audience roar with laughter just by saying, "Frogs."

He was a kind human being and a comic genius. He's proof that you can be funny and entertaining without dirty words, potty thinking, and meanness. Wish he was here today.

I love the way he said and explained the Pledge of allegiance. So beautiful made you proud to be an American.

My family and I loved this guy so much we cried when his last show aired. He was so sweet and funny. There will never be another like him.

I sure miss Red Skelton and his CLEAN Family Oriented humor. I was Blessed to have the opportunity to see Red Skelton in person. I laughed so much. We need more good clean humor. May He Rest in Peace ❤❤❤

A true genius who could laugh at himself as much as the audience. He was a funny man.

This man was a beautiful human being. I am so glad that I got to watch him on television when I was growing up. He has always been a favorite of mine.

Red was the best and I don't think anyone has ever or will ever match his ability to make folks laugh. He made the world a better place.

60 years ago Red Skelton was my dad's favorite comedian. We never missed him on tv. I learned what good, clean, true comedy was from him. He was one of a kind.

What a wonderful comedic star, I remember watching his shows and laughing at his bits. He didn’t need elaborate sets, just his talent and a hat.

My mother was watching Red one night and she laughed so hard, she went into labor, with me. Thanks, Red!

Red was a true pioneer he opened a huge door for many aspiring comedians to walk thru.Clean,fun humor

Nobody could ever come close to releasing as many endorphins into so many bodies as Red Skelton did. What a brilliant man to take clean comedy and make it funnier than all other sorts. He will be forever missed, and hopefully never forgotten. Thank you for the upload, thumbs up!

Saw Red live in Chicago and after the show we went and talked to him. A GREAT man and comedian.

He was one of the greatest. Still hilarious today long after he's gone.

I miss this wonderful man's humor. Red always enjoyed his own humor, and it was clean and no swear words.

Watched him growing up. He was the best. His expressions were the best and when he laughed at his own jokes, we laughed so hard our stomachs hurt. There will never be another Red! ❤️

RIP Red,. Loved you from the first time I saw you over 60 years ago. Class act in all respects. God Bless your wonderful soul.

All this man had to do was put on a hat and he made the audience roll with laughter. I remember his shows on TV as a kid incredible performances loved this man.

Such a great, great comedian. It's a shame they don't make 'em like Mr. Skelton anymore. Really enjoyed his variety shows. The best part of any of his shows was when he and his guest would get to laughing at each other during their skits. Rest in peace. You are sorely missed.

It's hard to make clean humor this funny. That was a unique talent only few have

I saw him live in the mid '80s; it was a wonderful experience. I was worn out and hurting from laughing so hard for so long. He didn't skimp on the laughs and I was amazed that wonderful old geezer could put on such a long show! Best money I ever spent on entertainment.

RS was a hoot, and he could be funny without being vulgar, unlike so many modern comedians. Cheers!

Probably the most humblest and funniest comedian ever

His genius will never be matched, and I always marveled at how much he enjoyed his performing, he truely loved what he was doing.

I saw him twice. He was one of a kind. We need this kind of humor again.

Probably the greatest comic to come out of The USA, he certainly was for me, the funniest. I grew up with Red Skelton, often listening to him on radio and once we could afford TV, we watched him on that too. Sadly missed, never forgotten.

RIP DEAR MAN!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR GIFT TO BRIBG LAUGHTER INTO THE WORLD!!!

have and always will love Red Skelton, one of the best comedians RIP "RED"

I loved Red growing up. I laughed from my heart. I also think of my Mother & Dad.❤ you Red

Old fashion humor that NEVER GOES OUTTA STYLE!! Like so many others here, we’d gather around the TV and have such belly laughs! Clean humor never goes outta style!! Red and Bob Hope were two of our favorites!! Sure wish we had that kind of comedy today!! Thanks for posting❣️👍🏽❣️

When Red Skeleton passed away, my sister was his nurse...She said he was a very nice man.....Rest in Peace, Red Skeleton.....RIP to my Sister....A kind and compassionate Nurse...

I remember myself as a young lad laughing my guts out to this wonderful man . So yes I too must take the time to think back and smell the roses and most definitely say . . . God bless you too red .

True talent and humor without having to use a single curse word. Laughter is the best medicine.

Redd Skelton was the funniest comic to have lived. Loved seeing him weekly on TY back then, love hearing him now. can't see or hear him without a smile or laugh lights up the person listening.😆😄😂💖💙

The greatest comedian ever. And his show was amazing. Thank you red for blessing us with your talent

Who else but Red Skelton could make one laugh laugh laugh like a frog frog frog. Absolutely the Best.

He was the greatest non violent comedian of all time, nothing but love for this guy!

Red Skelton was the only comedian I remember that my dad enjoyed watching on TV. Those were great memories watching Red Skelton and laughing together.

I grew up in the country, and we had no TV set at that time (or automobile) but every week we would all walk about a mile down the road to our neighbor's house to watch him on their TV set. He could make us all laugh so hard our sides hurt, I surely do miss him. He was one of the greatest, if not the greatest comedian.

Wow! What a pleasant surprise. I grew up watching Red in the 60s. It's funny that everyone (including me) loved to see him laugh at hi own jokes. That is supposed to be kind of taboo for comedians to do. Most, though did it occasionally. Red did it cosistantly which actually made him unique. Thanks for the fun video.

We were so blessed to have this man in our lives.

Even in high school I had a bedtime but Red's show was the one thing my folks let me stay up to watch. A good, clean comedian. A great man, a great comedian and a blessing to us all. Rest In Peace Red...you are truly missed. 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏

I was fortunate to get to know Red in my line of work in the "60's. He was, and still is, the greatest CLOWN in the history of the world. Red was a Gentleman in every respect, on and off stage. He always had a love for everyone and showed it. One BIG correction-he was a CLOWN and let you know it. Here is a quote "You are in my living room, and if any little thing I've said or done has brought a smile to your face, or a chuckle to your heart, then my purpose as your clown has been fulfilled...Thank you and God Bless!I thank God that He made Red Skelton a part of my life. Jim Pede

Watching Red brings me back to the 1950s. Greatest comedian ever.

I just loved this man's comedy! I sure miss it very much. No vulgar language or vulgar insinuations, just plain old clean comedy. It takes real talent to do this and Mr. Skelton sure had that talent. He is missed by many who truly loved his skill in comedy. Rest in peace.....

One of a kind-wish we had him today. I loved all of his characters; but, Freddy the Freeloader was my very favorite! Thank you, Red Skelton for giving us clean funny classic fun! God Bless!

he was one of the best, that's when comedy was real funny and clean and no dirty jokes.

I shared this video with my 13 yr old granddaughter tonight. We laughed together and I had nice memories of growing up watching the Red Skelton Show with my family.

Red Skelton was one of the best! I love to see a comedian get tickled at their own jokes!!!

Same here. There was a goodness about him you dont see anymore. RIP Red.

Red was always my favorite growing up. Puts a smile to my face and takes me back to my youth. Pleasant memories.

My grandma loved him. I grew up watching his Christmas jollies movie. I still watch them to this day, 30 Years later

Take note all you (so called) comedians . This is a real comedian , I just LOVE this guy ...... We miss you RED

Red Skelton was the quintessential comedian who was never vulgar. He once stated, that it you feel a need to lower yourself to vulgarity to get a laugh, you are not a good comedian.

I miss Red Skelton so much, he was great, always had so much respect and great family values

Red Skeleton, an old time great, that will last forever!😊😊😊😊😊

This is when comedians were actually funny and didn't depend on vulgarity or cursing. Thank You for posting this video. Some great memories growing up and watching Red.

One of the best comedian's ever. I worked in a gas station and I can relate to that joke: 'cash box out side. door open. bathroom locked'.

Beautiful man inside and out! Thank You Red for so many laughs😊

We used to watch him every time he came on TV. There will never be another comedian like him. He was a jewel. RIP Mr. Skelton. You are still missed even after 60 years.❤

I watched this loveable old comedian when I was a kid more than 60 years ago. I can only say that I loved this man for his clean jokes and kind temperament. He loved children, and I think he actually loved the world. I've missed him greatly over the years and there'll never be another like him. May God Bless him, sitting there next to God.

As Jackie Gleason said , Your The Greatest , and he was and Is. . . It figures he was a Pisces . . Imagination out of this world , God Bless Red Skelton . . . . We Love You . . .

One of the all time greats.....used to watch him as a kid !!!!

God Bless you Red, I miss you, I watched your show in my younger years. ! I will never forget the greats!....Ram out...

You know some things just don't need to change to suit the times. Just because people's taste change doesn't always mean it is for the better. Red Skelton performed in a time where there were more restrictions on what he could and could not say on TV and yet he was still funny. His subject matter would have been limited and still he bring forth laughter. I sincerely doubt that his audience was limited to one race but everyone who saw him laughed back then and still do now. I, too, grew up as a young child watching him on a black and white TV that had to be turned on five minutes before the show in order that it would be warmed up in time. His was one of the few shows for which my parents would make a bedtime exception. It was a real treat to be able to watch him. Sometimes the reminiscience was more about how everyone around you would laugh along with you and for that short time everyone could enjoy the same thing. He often played a fool on stage but his depth of character was deeper than people gave him credit. He valued life and made every day profitable and wasted very few minutes.

Thank God for Red. What a beautiful soul.

Red was a true American icon. He will always be a bona fide National Treasure...RIP Sweet Prince...

God bless Red. He was the best!!!!!

This world need more laugher like he preformed!! My favorite of all times!!

As always he's superb! May God Bless!

I loved Red Skelton! I remember watching him back years ago! I miss his show!

I loved Reds for all the years that I watched him on TV and my grandmother said that she met him on Hollywood Bld one time and he was a prince of people that truly cared about everyone. Old Master Gunnery SGT USMC. God rest their soles, for they were the best of the best.

He was a great comedian. And his show was clean.

ROFL Miss his clean humor, wish we had it today !

In 1970 I worked in a Place called the coffee garden in Houston, at 6;30 am I saw a Man sitting alone, it was Red Skelton, My Mother Loved him so much and I went up to his table, and I told him that my Mother Loved him and it was her Birthday, He grabbed a Napkin and asked me her Name, I told him and he Wrote the most beautiful Happy Birthday Greetings to her. She lived in south Florida at the time, I sent it to her ASAP. She called me with tears in her Eyes and said it was the Most thoughtful thing anyone every gave to Her. Thank you Red for such a great memory for Her, and for Me too. It gave my Mother great Pleasure knowing how much she Loved Red.

He and Carol Burnett taught me so much about "funny" as a child and young teen.

One of the greatest comedians ever produced in the United States, and quite possibly the world. He was wonderful to listen to and see. I remember seeing him and his shows live, oh so many years ago. There will never be another like him. Always liked how he ended his shows, "With God Bless". He simply loved people, regardless of who they were.

He was the best that's ever been.

I love this man ... Thanx forever Red...

Red was my favorite comic back in the 1960's. Saw him live in Atlanta at the Fox Theater in 1982, one of his last live shows.

wow I remember red. comedy without swearing. true humor.

May God grant his soul rest, I loved watching him as a kid, I don't think we ever missed a show he was a great entertainer.

When I was about 10 years old, he had Jane Mansfield on his show. When she came out, he gave a hug, and the sound effects man made this crunching noise. He stood back and said Oh no, "I've crushed them." Jane Mansfield almost crumpled to the floor, laughing. Then he reached inside his breast pocket and pulled out two cigars. My father had to explain to me what the actual joke was. We watched him all the time.

There will never be his equal and none higher then this great comedian. Today people will most likely ever see and hear his witty repertories. He has made people laugh even during tough toimes in their lives. GOD BLESS the memory of Red

Red Skelton. I'll be dang. Haven't seen him in ages. He's really funny plus a true patriot. Thanks for sharing.

Loved him as a kid and he is still the Best to ever set foot on a stage.

Such a great man. Love the 50's 60's.

In 1969 I came to America and lived in Indianapolis. Got a job and met a guy from Red's home town, met some old guys who knew Red as a young man.Said he acted crazy as a loon. I actually acted the same way said I reminded them of him.

Never missed his appearances on Johnny Carson, and was fortunate enough to have seen him perform at the Fischer Theater in Detroit in the early 1990's. Such a genuine talent and wonderful showman. I still am trying to obtain one of his original paintings (yes, he was an artist too)!

This man was a giant among comics,,what a great funny funny man

that's when you could enjoy a good joke, without sex, foul words, and filth.

I grew up watching this great man , funny funny man and NOT a SWEAR word in any of his sketches todays comedians rely on bad words to get their point across sad really . His comedic style and grace are sadly missed
