"The Perfect Fool" Ed Wynn joins Red to tell the 'real' story of Cinderfella. Red appears as Cinderfella and Wynn as the Fairy Godfather. Yes, that was the plot of the 1960 Jerry Lewis theatrical feature Cinderfella. But five years earlier, on October 25, 1955, Red Skelton used the same plot line, and the selfsame Ed Wynn, in a Cinderella takeoff of his own! An unabashed admirer of Wynn, Red used him often on his TV show, right up until 1966, the year of Ed's death.
