The Red Skelton Hour
A long-running American variety series that helped define early television, this show mixes opening monologues, comedy sketches, and recurring comic personas alongside a steady stream of guest entertainers. Known for broad, family-friendly humor and occasional wordless bits, it became a major ratings staple across two networks and earned multiple Emmy wins.

The First Thanksgiving or Thanksgiving with the Pilgrims
In this spoof of the Miles Standish-John Alden-Priscilla Mullins legend, Red plays John in a broad, farcical manner, given to slapstick clumsiness and cigar chomping anachronisms. The filmed quality of the show cuts out most of the spontaneous gags and asides expected of Red.
