We proudly present our own salute to the man who has entertained millions for over 40 years. There are rare clips of Johnny from "Who Do You Trust?", and in other great highlights, he's clowning and joking with Pearl Bailey, Jerry Van Dyke, Joey Heatherton, Don Rickles, and Charlton Heston. Also: a funny Stump the Band moment, and some hilarious outtakes while Johnny and cohort Ed MacMahon were trying to tape commercials for the "Who Do You Trust?" program. Skitch Henderson also appears in some segments. If you're a fan of this great performer, you'll want to own this tape!
We've been fortunate enough to locate four RARE live kinescopes from the 1950s that show the master of pantomime at his classic best. All shows contain original commercials, exactly as first broadcast!
1. FEBRUARY 24, 1952: Red proudly displays the Emmys his program won, does a pantomime routine, and the sketch spoofs British newscasters.
2. FEBRUARY 9, 1954: Red's guests are Ed Sullivan and the King Sisters. Comedy includes a Driver Education lesson, and a satire on the navy.
3. JANUARY 25, 1955: Guests are Reginald Denny and Mary McCarty. A spoof of trailer park living is seen.
4. JANUARY 13, 1959: Edward Everett Horton and Richard Deacon are the guests. Red does a classic "Freddie the Freeloader" sketch.
