Fans of Red Skelton were treated to two TV appearances by their favorite comedian during the second week of October in 1959. In addition to his regular Tuesday-night series, Skelton presided over The Red Skelton Chevy Special on Friday, October 9. Taped at a Hollywood party honoring Red's 30th year in show business, this full-color, one-hour special featured guest appearances by actors Rhonda Fleming and James Arness and musical performers Burl Ives, Tommy Sands and Lionel Hampton. Among the highlights: Clem Kadiddlehopper (Red) and Burl Ives square off in a squaredance-calling competition; a western spoof with Fleming, Arness and Sheriff Deadeye (Red again); a "battle of the singers" with Sands and Freddie the Freeloader (Red yet again); and a xylophone duet performed by Hampton and George Appleby (Red still yet again!) Skelton and Ives team up to sing "I Wish I Was", while Ives solos on "Lavender Cowboy"; Sands croons "Get Happy" and "Good Day"; and Hampton performs "Piccadilly Shuffle". The Red Skelton Chevy Special was put together by Skelton's regular staff, including director Seymour Berns.

In Living Color is an American sketch comedy television series that originally ran on the Fox Network from April 15, 1990, to May 19, 1994. Brothers Keenen and Damon Wayans created, wrote and starred in the program. The show was produced by Ivory Way Productions in association with 20th Century Fox Television and was taped before a live studio audience at stage 7 at the Fox Television Center on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, California. The title of the series was inspired by the NBC announcement of broadcasts being presented "in living color" during the 1950s and 1960s, prior to mainstream color television. It also refers to the fact that most of the show's cast were black, unlike other sketch comedy shows such as Saturday Night Live whose casts are usually mostly white.Other members of the Wayans family—Kim, Shawn and Marlon—had regular roles, while brother Dwayne frequently appeared as an extra. The show also starred the previously unknown actor/comedians Jim Carrey, Jamie Foxx, and David Alan Grier. Additionally, actress Rosie Perez, Dancing with the Stars judge and choreographer Carrie Ann Inaba and dancer Jennifer Lopez were members of the show's dance troupe The Fly Girls. The series won the Emmy for Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Series in 1990.
