Video, Foster Brooks Roasts Lucille Ball Woman of the Hour

Enjoyed seeing that again. Really enjoyed watching the roasts on TV and this one had some big stars on the diaz. And guess it was the red hair but Red Skelton kept coming to my mind. He was like Don Rickles, couldn't tell a joke sometimes because he was laughing at himself so hard. We need more happy shows like that. My mother told me years ago that during the depression they came out with all the comedy shows on the radio to keep spirits up for the American's at home. Then TV came out and a lot of the radio comedies started up on TV. That's when the actors/actresses had to be 'triple threats' and know how to sing, dance and act to get on TV. Now you only need to know how to scream louder than the others.
