Visiting
The show kicks off with the song "Frivolous Sal." Red starts by talking about how hard it is to get food because of rationing. Then we hear from three different people about what they think of visiting folks: J. Newton Numbskull, a character called "Junior, The Mean Widdle Kid," and Clem Kadiddlehopper.
The Red Skelton Show is an American television comedy/variety show that aired from 1951 to 1971. In the decade prior to hosting the show, Richard "Red" Skelton had a successful career as a radio and motion pictures star. Although his television series is largely associated with CBS, where it appeared for more than sixteen years, it actually began and ended on NBC. During its run, the program received three Emmy Awards, for Skelton as best comedian and the program as best comedy show during its initial season, and an award for comedy writing in 1961. In 1959 Skelton also received a Golden Globe Award for Best TV Show.
