Red Skelton – Juniors Anniversary, With War News By Roosevelt. ep46, 421117

The first half of the show is preempted by this news report from President Roosevelt. Get the latest on ships at sea, and the valiant behavior of friends, officers, and sailors who gave their lives in battle. FDR talks about the extensive front lines, and the military muscle that reaches around the globe. He talks about known sinking of ships, and some that have been recovered, and refitted for war. Operational security, and national security are encouraged for all to observe.

With time running short, Red, Ozzie, Harriot, and Wonderful Smith joke about boxers and prize fighters, among other topics. Following is a short sponsor message, with Newton J Numbskull trying to make a phone call to his wife.

A year ago was the first appearance of Junior the mean little kid. Today Red and Harriot put together a compilation of the best of his gags over the past year. Junior reads Esquire, breaks things, crashes the neighbors car, tells secrets on his mom, and more. A highlight reel of the best, or worst, moments with Junior. It’s worth the wait, if listening to the old news isn’t your thing.
