Red Skelton is a comedian from the time when TV was in black and white. He got his name from his red hair.

By age 15, Red Skelton had hit the road full-time as an entertainer, working everywhere from medicine shows and vaudeville to burlesque, showboats, minstrel shows and circuses. Red Skelton caught his big break in two media at once: radio and film. Beginning with Having A Wonderful Time (1938), Red Skelton appeared in more than 30 MGM films during the 1940s and 1950s. Red Skelton was the first CBS television host to begin taping his weekly programs in color, in the early 1960s, after he bought an old movie studio and converted it for television productions.
