Clem Kadiddlehopper – Red Skelton’s country bumpkin character

Clem Kadiddlehopper was one of Red Skelton’s most popular characters, portrayed on radio and television for decades. He was a country bumpkin, slow-witted and big-hearted. Although never intentionally hurtful, he would often cause clownish harm.  Often to his long-suffering father. (“When the stork brought you, Clem, I should’ve shot it on sight!” )
