Without a doubt, Red Skelton is one of the funniest comedians of all time, along with Bill Cosby, Jerry Lewis, and Dean Martin. Some of his best known characters include Freddie the Freeloader, Sheriff Deadeye, George Appleby, San Fernando Red, Cookie the Sailor, Cauliflower McPugg, Clem Kadiddlehopper and, of course, Gertrude and Heathcliffe, the two seagulls.
"So until next time, I'll say good heatlh, good life, and may God bless." Red Skelton's phrase at the end of each show.
