Clem Kadiddlehopper, made famous by Red Skelton, whose father clowned on Hagenbeck-Wallace. Red himself gave it a go over there, but briefly, and found his fortune in burlesque, vaudeville, and soon enough, before the cameras of the sound stages. His hit TV show was on for 20 seasons.

I think this character is Freddy the Freeloader. Clem was Skelton's country bumpkin persona.
Yup J Dier
Red was a regular visitor
to folks on the Beatty Show
Freddy is the correct makeup here. I got lost sorting out all of Red's characters.
