Red Skelton was not only a great comedian, mime and a very funny witty man but he was multi talented, patriotic and believed in God.
I never missed his show and he would always end his shows with the famous, “Good night and may God bless.”
I have read they cancelled his program even though his ratings were good. They were going in a new direction.
Remember when the cow pooped on live tv during his show? I have that on a tv blooper reel. I believe it was CBS that cancelled his show because it was too patriotic. They cancelled The Smothers Brothers show because it was too radical. Those were the days!
