Would mr Skelton be any relation to Red Skelton by any chance

[madokie]

I really like his style, all laid back and confident

1. Hmm... I gotta ask two stupid questions.

Mr. who?

And Red who?

Alas, my knowledge of vaudevillian entertainers is scanty at best :blush:

5. I guess only folx of a certain age

2. I don't think so

Not sure but I doubt it.

3. "all laid back and confident..."

[Auggie]

8. I see a resemblance

[graywarrior]

6. Someone told me they were related.

[madokie]

9. I think I remember reading that too

his mannerisms leads me to think he very well may be at the least a nephew or first cousin. at any rate Rep. Skelton is real respectful to all those around him

10. No sarcasm symbol?

He seems more like a repug to me.

[coco77]

11. I have been wondering that for years...

he sure does look like him...

[madokie]

12. me too and yes he does look like him

not that it really matters but I think he is running a good show here today.

13. My mom is a Skelton from Missouri

and we all think Red is a relative, although have not been able to confirm. Now, if we are related to Ike, I would guess yes also, but exactly how, don't quite know. Red was also from Missouri.

14. that is cool to maybe be a relative of Red Skelton's

we didn't have a teevee for most of my childhood but for the brief time that we did our favorite show that was on it was Red Skelton, sorry can't for the life of me remember the name of the show though but I still do remember all the characters he protrayed
I remember him as a good man

15. I asked that a few months ago

and the answer seemed to be "no", although I think they share quite a resemblance.

16. We have a family here in my hometown who are distant cousins to Al Gore

who neither have ever visited with the other before. It happens all the time where second and third cousins become so far removed from each other as to loose track of one another. I think Ike and Red must share some genes though
