Synopsis by Hal Erickson
This episode of The Red Skelton Show from November 17, 1959 is distinguished by the curious guest-star combination of Peter Lorre and Mercedes McCambridge. Tonight's main sketch: "Appleby the Weatherman." Once again ordered to find a job by his loudmouthed wife Clara (McCambridge), George gets a job predicting the weather. He ends up being consulting by the US Space Program, who demand perfect weather for rocket firings. A band of sinister types, led by Lorre, are also interested in George's prognostications.
