- TriviaRed Skelton is the sole guest on this episode as he participates in a ninety minute interview by Merv Griffin. Red discusses his childhood in his home town of Vincennnes, Indiana. He said he decided to become a comic at age 7, and made his debut in a medicine show at age ten. He converses about his career in burlesque, vaudeville, the Broadway stage, radio, movies, and TV. Red's 1937 MGM contract contained, at his insistence, a then unheard of TV clause, which he exercised to appear on the Milton Berle TV show. Today, Red says he is a painter, writer, and composer. During this show, Red leads Mort Lindsey's Orchestra in his own composition of the Red, White and Blue March, which has been recorded by the US Marine Corp Band.
