He is the standard by which I compare all comedy. Needless to say, many of
today's comics fall far short in comparison.

As I kid I would *NEVER* miss his weekly show on CBS. 

He is also an artist... does mostly paintings of clowns. It is my
understanding that he donates them to charity auctions.

He did a few movies back in the 40s and 50s as well.

p.s.

I saw an HBO special a while back that had a comic that did a routine using a
large set that looked like a house with lots of windows and doors... the
comic would go in one door and emerge from another door only a few seconds
later as a different character by changing wig/cap/glasses/etc. This one
comic acted the part of about 20 different people. I watched this with my
wife and said 'Gee, this guy reminds me of Red Skelton'. It was genuinely
funny stuff.  At the end, when the credits rolled, he listed his tribute to
Red Skelton.

Can anyone name this comic?
