Über diesen Titel

 "Avalon Time" was an American old-time radio comedy program that offered a blend of comedy, music, and variety entertainment. It aired from 1938 to 1940, making it part of the golden age of American radio, a period when radio was a leading form of entertainment before television became widespread. The show was named after its sponsor, Avalon cigarettes, which was common practice at the time for radio programs to be sponsored by specific products or companies.

The program is particularly noted for being a key step in the career of Red Skelton, a comedian who would later become one of the most beloved entertainers in the United States. Skelton joined "Avalon Time" in 1939, and his presence gave the show a significant boost. His comedic style, characterized by a blend of slapstick, pantomime, and character comedy, was well-suited to the radio format and made him a household name."Avalon Time" was structured around a mix of stand-up comedy, comedic skits, and musical performances. The show typically opened with a monologue by Skelton, followed by a series of comedy sketches featuring Skelton and other cast members. These sketches often included recurring characters and catchphrases, which became familiar to and beloved by the audience. Musical interludes were provided by the Avalon Orchestra and various guest performers, adding variety to the show and making it a comprehensive entertainment package.

Despite its relatively short run, "Avalon Time" played an important role in the development of radio comedy. It was part of a broader trend of variety shows that combined humor, music, and celebrity guests to entertain a wide audience. Moreover, the show's success helped to cement the careers of its performers, particularly Red Skelton, who would go on to have a long and distinguished career in radio, television, and film.

After leaving "Avalon Time," Skelton continued to work in radio before transitioning to television, where he found even greater success. His television show, "The Red Skelton Show," ran for over two decades and is remembered as one of the classic variety shows of American television. Skelton's work on "Avalon Time" is often seen as a crucial early step in his career, showcasing his talents to a national audience and setting the stage for his future successes.In summary, "Avalon Time" is remembered not only for its entertainment value but also for its role in the history of American comedy. It was a launching pad for Red Skelton, one of the most endearing entertainers of the 20th century, and remains a fascinating example of the golden age of radio.
