Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Musical comedy star Janis Paige appears with Red Skelton in the comedy sketch "Bashful Clem." Janis plays a pretty teach who is fond of hayseed Clem Kadiddlehopper (Red), but cannot get him to overcome his shyness around women. Her solution is to invite Clem to a masquerade party, where everyone-male and female alike-is buried under heavy, gender-neutral costumes. Kathryn Card and Jan Arvan are cast as Clem's Maw and Paw in this broadcast from January 20, 1959.
