Red Skelton Show - April Fools Day
The jokes take on a nautical feel, when Red Skelton talks about sailors, ships, and storms. Phil Davis plays, Begin the Beguine. Red talks about his new suit. When the phone rings, he gets a gig at the policeman’s ball. Is he as big of a shot as his secretary, Edna Stillwell? Should he take the tickets to see the big fight, or stick to his public speaking class? The instructor in proper diction could use some lessons themself. Janette sings, I never Knew. At the policeman’s ball, Red and Edna dance, but his jitterbug moves Donn’t impress anyone. Hercules shows his stuff as a uniformed cop. The show is about to start, and Red takes his place. Try as he might, he just can’t get a laugh from the bulls. Red Foley sings, Prairie Moon. Phil Davis plays a jazzy tune to play out the show.
