"Clem Kadiddlehopper - Red Skelton's country bumpkin character
Clem Kadiddlehopper was one of Red Skelton's most popular characters, portrayed on radio and television for several decades. Clem Kadiddlehopper was a country bumpkin, slow witted and big hearted. Although never intentionally hurtful, he would often cause clownish harm, typically to his long-suffering father. ("When the stork brought you, Clem, I should've shot it on sight!" )
Clem Kadiddlehopper was one of Red Skelton's most versatile characters, often placed in a rural setting to contrast Clem's down-home values with "higher society." Examples include when Clem's worthless paintings become valuable impressionistic art ("Clem the Artist," a hilarious episode), when Clem sells his family's fountain of youth water and becomes a Hollywood make up artist (guest starring Audrey Meadows' of the Honeymooners), or when Clem turns the tables on a pair of city slickers trying to con Clem and his family out of their "oil-rich" land.

Depending on the needs of the story, Clem was either afraid of girls or actively chasing them, living on the family farm or working in town (such as in Fish Market)"
