How could you not love Red Skelton, 26 May 2004
10/10
Author: Paul from Lawrence, KS

Red Skelton did not need to lace his routines with foul language and four-letter words to solicit laughs from his audience. The only comedian that I know of today who can make the same claim to fame is the great Sinbad.

In this Royal Command Performance, his last to be recorded, Red Skelton joins the audience by laughing at himself and his own jokes, one of the unique qualities that this comedic genius had. I still can't remember whether I laughed harder at his jokes or at Red laughing at himself.

His comedy was for all ages and will endure as long as the act of laughter. I miss you Red!
