Synopsis by Hal Erickson
On this telecast from February 8, 1955, guest star Charles Coburn belies his age (which was around 76 at the time!) in the evening's main sketch. Hoping to get a free haircut, Coburn heads to a barber college. Alas, the man chosen to sheer Mr. C is none other than novice student Clem Kadiddlehopper (Red Skelton), of course). This basic premise would be repeated in several future Skelton shows with a variety of different guest stars.
