b'The Red Skelton Show,\\nwhich premiered on 30 September 1951, was not only one of the longest running\\nvariety series on television, but also one of the first variety shows to make\\nthe successful transition from radio to television.

Consequently, he continued his weekly radio\\nbroadcasts while simultaneously working on the first two season of his\\ntelevision show. '
