Back in 1983, Red Skelton, the legendary comic, appeared on \u2018The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson.\u2019 The show was filled with good-natured humor, and the two comedians traded quips and stories. Red\u2019s sense of humor, which harkened back to the old days, was on full display. Johnny began the conversation by admiring Red\u2019s height, to which Red responded with a joke about old age shrinkage. Red then went on to talk about how he didn\u2019t let his age restrict him, and he started each day by checking if he could see and smell before getting up. The audience burst into laughter, and Red followed up with a joke about reading Playboy to get his heart started. Johnny asked Red if he exercised, but Red said he didn\u2019t care for it.<\/p>\n
The conversation then turned to Red\u2019s name, and he told a funny story about how he came up with his middle name, Bernard. Red\u2019s teacher had asked him for his middle name, and he didn\u2019t know it, so he made one up.<\/p>\n
Red also joked about his wife\u2019s cooking, and the audience couldn\u2019t stop laughing, and Johnny was in awe of Red\u2019s quick wit and humor. Red\u2019s appearance on \u2018The Tonight Show\u2019 was filled with laughter and showcased his comedic talent.<\/p>\n
