Avalon Time - featuring Red Skelton - Circa 1939; Avalon Time is an American old-time radio comedy/variety program that ran from
1938 to 1940 on NBC's Red Network. The program was named after its sponsor, Avalon cigarettes.[2] Over the course of its run, Avalon Time
was also sponsored by Sir Walter Raleigh Pipe Tobacco and the Bulova Watch Company. The program is often regarded as comedian Red Skelton's
first big break in show business and on radio.[3]
Red Skelton was the second host of Avalon Time. Skelton became well known for his "Doughnut Dunkers" routine[3] which led to Skelton's
first appearance on Rudy Vallée's The Fleischmann's Yeast Hour on August 12, 1937. Vallée's program had a talent show segment and those who
were searching for stardom were eager to be heard on it. Vallée also booked veteran comic Joe Cook to appear as a guest with Skelton.
The two proceeded to trade jokes about their home towns, with Skelton contending to Cook, an Evansville native, that the city was a suburb of
Vincennes, Skelton's hometown. The show received enough fan mail after the performance to invite both comedians back two weeks after Skelton's
initial appearance and again in November of that year.
On October 1, 1938, Skelton replaced Red Foley as the host of Avalon Time. Skelton's first wife Edna also joined the show's cast, under her
maiden name of Stillwell.[8] The Skeltons worked on Avalon Time until late 1939.[9]
Skelton went on to do his own radio show, The Raleigh Cigarette Program, on October 7, 1941. The bandleader for the show was Ozzie Nelson;
his wife, Harriet, who worked under her maiden name of Hilliard, was the show's vocalist and also worked with Skelton in skits.[10]
Skelton went on to have his own successful television series named after him that ran on CBS and NBC for 20 years.
