I, Red Skelton

"I find myself always being drawn into Wes' comedic research and storytelling by its insights into the history, politics and sociology of the period explored. In that context, his gift is not only that of a researcher but also a "decoder" of what leads a reader to exclaim. 'Oh, so that's how he (the subject) got that way.'"

ABC News and Good Morning, America
