Your Favorite COMEDY SHOW
Two-time winner Red Skelton makes it three, and in a walk. The redhead's brand of humor continues to delight huge audiences in public and a small but exceedingly loyal one in private: his family — wife Georgia, daughter Valentina Marie and son Richard Freeman. P.S. They're redheads, too. Skelton's shenanigans can be heard on Sundays at 8:30 P.M. EST on CBS.
Your Favorite COMEDY STORY
On the list in '47 as the best new program and in '48 as the best comedy story program, My Friend Irma sweeps into first place again in that category. Helping to put it there is the engaging numbskull heroine Irma, played by the engaging but non-numbskull Marie Wilson. Irma and her charming, slightly screwball friends can be heard on Mondays at 10 P.M. EST, over CBS.
