Radio broadcasting was the cheapest form of entertainment, and it provided the public with far better entertainment than most people were accustomed to. As a result, its popularity grew rapidly in the late 1920s and early 1930s, and by 1934, 60 percent of the nation's households had radios.

Broadcast History: 7 January 1939 to 26 May 1953

Comedian Red Skelton takes the lead in this comedy show full of musical numbers. Skelton often plays one of many crazy characters, including Clem Kadiddlehopper, the idiotic cab-driver, Junior, the “mean widdle kid” and Deadeye, the fastest gun in the West. As one of the most well-loved comedians in radio history, Red remained at the top of his profession for many, many years, pulling in record numbers of listeners.
