(1966) Record Album: Red Skelton Conducts Music from the Heart - Composer

(27-28 April 1979) Red Skelton received rave reviews for an appearance at Cincinnati's Playhouse Square Palace Theater from April 27-28, 1979. Archived newspapers report that Skelton performed a two-hour program in which he played Clem Kadiddlehopper, Sheriff Deadeye, seagulls Gertrude and Heathcliffe, and the Guzzler's Gin salesman. Among the pantomimes he executed included a man trapped in an elevator during a blackout and a husband and wife arguing about whether to take an elevator or the stairs to the top of the Eiffel Tower. Skelton wrote the music used during the show, performed by a full orchestra conducted by Jerry Kaye. At one of the programs, the Ali Baba Grotto Clowns and their wives appeared to present Skelton with a ceramic Freddie the Freeloader and a lifetime honorary membership in their association.

(08/12/1937) Red Skelton debuted on NBC network radio on the Rudy Vallee Show.
