what were the closing comments about being a clown , that Red Skelton closed every show with?

Question

I know he said " Good night, and may God bless", but before that he would make a comment about being a clown and putting a smile on your face.

Answer 1

He said, "It’s a lot of fun to try and make people laugh because regardless of what your heartache might have been, while laughing for a few seconds you have forgotten about it. I personally believe that each and every one of us put here for a purpose and that is to build and not to destroy. And if by chance someday you’re not feeling well, you should remember some silly little thing that I’ve said or done and it brings back a smile to your face and a chuckle to your heart, then my purpose as your clown has been fulfilled."
