The Red Skelton Show
Season 6
Episode 7: The First Thanksgiving or Thanksgiving with the Pilgrims
TV-GNov 20, 1956
In this spoof of the Miles Standish-John Alden-Priscilla Mullins legend, Red plays John in a broad, farcical manner, given to slapstick clumsiness and cigar chomping anachronisms. The filmed quality of the show cuts out most of the spontaneous gags and asides expected of Red.
