I agree with Red Skelton. He could act and he could perform standup comedy. We saw him at the Arizona State fair in the 1980’s. He had us falling out of our seats just reading a poem about frogs.

I met Red Skelton on a plane in July of 1980 on my way to Juneau Alaska one day. I’m 6’3”, and he saw me and quipped “Look at this guy, He’s big enough to be his own state!”

DIDO, the man was a comic genius and he loved this country and he loved Jesus and I thoroughly enjoyed watching him ever since I was a youngster.

Red Skelton only starred in only a couple of movies, while Fields starred with Mae West in the great My Little Chickadee.

Red Skelton bump! Improvisation at its best.

tough question: Jack Lemon; Peter Sellers; Zero Mostel were all superb.

Red Skelton did a mime act that was just enthralling to this Freeper as a child.

Yep
Red Skelton

Dean Martin and Don Rickles are tied for Second
Johnny Carson and Foster Brooks for Third (Johnny outside of the Tonight Show was Great)
For who I enjoy ...
Ron White
Robin Williams (who was actually a better actor than Comedian)
Groucho Marx (for quotes) and his Brothers when no one is looking.
Jeff Foxworthy
Then all you have left is the Dregs LARRY THE CABLE GUY!

I agree. Can easily bring me tears laughing so hard and nothing dirty.
