How to Eat Corn – The Red Skelton Show season 2 – with Nat King Cole, and Clem Kadiddlehopper “helping” David Rose & the orchestra
If the segments seem familiar, there’s a good reason. Red was ill, so they reused footage from previous episodes.
How to Eat Corn – The Red Skelton Show season 2, originally broadcast February 8, 1953
How to Eat Corn
A variation on Red Skelton’s Dunking Donuts routine — here, as Iowa Pete, he’s demonstrating the way different people eat corn.
Hey diddle diddle
The cat and the fiddle
The cow jumped over the moon
And butter went sky high!
Quick change – a Tide commercial
Clem and the orchestra
The David Rose Orchestra performs the ‘Poet and Peasant Overture.’ — with Clem Kadiddlehopper’s “help”!
A very funny routine.
