Jamie Farr & Red Skelton: A Very Special Friendship DVD In this bonus DVD the beloved actor, comedian and director Jamie Farr of M*A*S*H fame takes you inside his very special friendship with America's Clown Prince, Red Skelton. In this rare interview, Jamie relates how Red not only encouraged him, but taught him about comedy, courtesy, and life. When Jamie returned from a tour of duty with the Army, it was Red who encouraged him to return to show business. Jamie again became a regular on Red's highly successful weekly show, appearing in several episodes before striking out in his own. In recounting many stories and insights into Red Skelton, Jamie's own humanity and love of life are revealed for his many fans. Included on this DVD are three 'lost episodes' of The Red Skelton Show featuring Jamie Farr, which have not been seen by the public since they first aired on CBS. Jamie's fans will love the hilarious preview of his role of Klinger on M*A*S*H, as he and Red attempt to smuggle an orphaned baby on board their Navy vessel in "Cookie and Snorkel's Bundle of Joy"!. 94 min/ color and B&W.
