    Red Skelton "LIVE" in Las Vegas. hide « show »

    To me Red Skelton was a very funny man who never tried to offend anyone or use foul language to make people laugh. That is the sign of true comedic genius. I'm not to sure when comedy took a turn for the curse, but I think it had something to do with George Carlin, not that I dislike Carlin....he had some very clever and funny bits, especially the two minute warning. I know that there are millions of people out there that miss Red Skelton on TV. If you never got the chance to see him "LIVE" then I want to offer you the next best thing. Brian Hoffman re-creates Red Skelton 4 nights a week in Las Vegas. This is a new and ongoing show that is very funny and a great show for the entire family. Brian hosts the show as Red Skelton doing that signature slapstick that made Red famous. Next time in Las Vegas check out the "Best Comedy Show" in Las Vegas and the only one with a Red Skelton impersonator. Larry G Jones~Singing Impressionist. 9pm Sunday through Wednesday 99 Convention Center Drive inside the Royal Resort. I wish you continued success in all you do. Goodnight now and may God bless. Brian Hoffman~Red Skelton Impersonator.

    It was funny. The skits were played to perfection. hide « show »

    I wish it re-aired again on tv. I loved the skits and the comedy it brought in my life. I was small were i first saw it on tv. that was a long time ago. Red Skelton add libed sometimes. Making the unexpected happen. Great guest stars appeared on the series. The crazy antictes and stunts were excellent. Evernight we couldn't wait to see it.

    I get a funny feeling whenever I watch The Red Skelton Show on tv. It sends a chill up my spine in a way that I can't quite describe. This time, it's no exception. When I picked this up during my visit to Blockbuster, I knew I was in for a treat as I have been so many times felt before. I was right! If you haven't gotten this yet, beg, steal, buy or do whatever you need to get it. You won't regret it.

    Worse movie ever. hide « show »

    Worse movie ever. Well actually that's being very harsh. After all, I'm sure the production company had put a lot of effort in producing this and trashing it like I am doing right now seems downright unfair. However, I can't forgive those who waste my time with something like this. Why did I pick up something called The Red Skelton Show in the first place?

    When it is revealed that the writers of The Red Skelton Show are going to use the Muslim prophet Character in a joking matter, the nation decides to "Bury it's head in the sand" and maybe the terrorists won't attack. hide « show »

    When it is revealed that the writers of The Red Skelton Show are going to use the Muslim prophet Character in a joking matter, the nation decides to "Bury it's head in the sand" and maybe the terrorists won't attack. he leaves on a quest to get the episode pulled with him in tow they leave. But when he learns that he wishes to get the series cancelled he tries to stop him. And fails to be continued next week.
