The 1944 Christmas song “Baby It’s Cold Outside” was written by Frank Loesser (1910-1969) to sing with his wife, Lynn Garland (1916-1986), at a party to tell guests that it was time to leave.

Sung here by Red Skelton (1913-1997) and Betty Garrett (1919-2011) in MGM’s “Neptune’s Daughter” (1949).

Good morning. 😴⏰☕

6 December 2024

Did you ever watch the Red Skelton Show? It was on the air for 20 years, 1951-1971, essentially my whole life through high school. I asked my wife last night if she ever heard of Freddy the Freeloader, and she said she hadn't, but she knew of the Red Skelton Show. Hmmm ... I don't know why I thought of Freddy the Freeloader, perhaps I was thinking of Ben and Charlie, they are free loaders after all. 😂 I lived with my grandparents at times while growing up, so the show was a staple along with The Lawrence Welk Show. It was a variety show, and Skelton was funny in clownish way. I recall he humbly ended each show my saying: "Good night and may God bless."

"All men make mistakes, but married men find out about them sooner." - Red Skelton
