I dated Michael while he was in Sugar Babies on Bway. 3 dates, nothing serious. Last I heard he was married and living in Hawaii

I wonder why?

Some people leave the show biz and never look back.

Loved it! Just what I needed tonight - thank you!

Thanks:) I needed a laugh today. Comedians were so funny in those days - and did not have to resort to sex and foul words to be funny.

Watch some of Red Skeleton old clips. Comedy genius...

It's Skelton, only one "e".

Although everybody reads "Skeleton". I know I did the first time.

It's an unusual name.

I met him when I was a little girl in Palm Springs at The Dunes Restaurant. I lost his autograph.

Tell my autocorrect. Time to clue in this generation of programmers.

He taught me how to juggle with 3 balls. I didn’t get involved with the chainsaw

I remember the juggling act with 3 different items: a bowling pin or ball an axe and chainsaw.

Never saw this one balancing the guitar and tent on his nose. This was at the NBC studios in Burbank.

I remember an egg, bowling ball and chainsaw in one of his acts.

Thank you, Celia, so glad you enjoyed it! Michael commented that he was unsure at first about the Eddie Munster wig. I think it is great.

Thank you for sharing. I never heard of this gentleman. Now, I like to know more of him. I had a great laugh. A wonderful medicine for the soul.

I spent today in mostly hostile post-judjment proceedings with my ex and her jackal attorney and the young judge. When I saw this video just now, it dissolved every last ounce of tension left over from the day. My midriff is aching the good ache. I'm gonna send this to the ex and her jackal attorney Alice with warm wishes. What about the judge, you ask? He can go fuck himself. Ha!

that's so great! I'm learning to let go of resentments, like just..poof! It frees up so much bandwidth to think about, for example, what is truly funny in this world.

In my divorce, the judge awarded all the marital resentment to the other party.

Very wise words Celia.

Very funny! Thanks ... we all need a Good Laugh! It's what keeps people sane... my family and I used to sit and watch all the sitcoms and variety shows like "I love Lucy" and "The Carol Burnett Show" and laugh and laugh...

Expand full comment

I loved Carol Burnett! I grew up with that show. Because it was live, they’d crack up during the skit! THAT was funny!

Love them both, Lucy and Carol, amazing comediennes.

Small spookipedia pages are the best!

Yeah he's pretty funny. I laughed out loud a few times.

Thanks Celia! Never heard of Michael. Felt good to laugh. After watching, I searched for Tim Conway skits on Carol Burnett. He was my favorite!
