Coming Soon Red Skelton- The Early Years Sponsored by Avalon Cigarettes

The Red Skelton Show: Red Skelton performed numerous times on the Rudy Vallee Royal Gelatin Hour before joining NBC’s 1939 variety series Avalon Time. (These early programs will be released soon) Broadcast from Chicago, Avalon Time featured country singer Red Foley and Skelton’s wife and gag writer, Edna Stillwell. Raleigh Cigarettes offered Skelton his own show on NBC in 1941, giving him the chance to present a full range of comedic characters. Every week, Red could be heard as dim-witted cab driver Clem Kadiddlehopper, the inebriated Willy Lump-Lump, and Junior, “the Mean Widdle Kid,” who announced his mischievous intentions by proclaiming “I dood it.” Radio veteran Verna Felton was on hand as Junior’s disciplinarian grandmother.
