Episode #352: The Red Skelton Show Rehearsal
Today in keeping with a theme we began last week, we have for you a rare 1947 rehearsal for a Red Skelton radio show sponsored by Raleigh cigarettes. Apparently comedian Red Skelton often kept the comedy going for the studio audience for a while after his show went off the air. This rehearsal is about 15-minutes longer than the broadcast show and we get to hear improvisation and off-script conversations among the cast, a small peek behind the curtain into the production process of radio broadcasts of that era.
