The "Who's on First?" sketch is a classic comedic performance by Abbott and Costello, where a baseball team's player names become a source of hilarious confusion due to their similarity to common phrases. The routine was first introduced on the radio in 1938 and later featured in their film "One Night in the Tropics" in 1940. The sketch was performed numerous times in their careers, rarely in precisely the same way twice. We present the 1953 version, of television's The Abbott and Costello Show episode "The Actor's Home", widely considered the definitive version.This enduring sketch showcases the duo's impeccable timing and wordplay. The misunderstandings arise as Costello tries to clarify the positions and names of the players, while Abbott consistently responds with "Who's on first," "What's on second," and "I Don't Know is on third." The humor derives from the rapid-fire dialogue and the cyclic repetition of phrases that sound like questions. This iconic routine remains a cornerstone of comedy history and is celebrated for its ability to induce laughter through linguistic confusion.

Tonight we have another artist spotlight. Robert Jimé on the show. He is a fantastic artist who has another set of pulp cover cards coming out in Star Wars Card Trader, and that is among the many other projects he is working on is . If you are on the socials you can find him and his work under the Zerostreet handle or if you go to zerostreet.shop online you can see a lot of his distinctive work. Considering that we are not too far from the release of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, his work on the pulp covers and his style fits in perfectly to the aesthetic. From His Bio: “Robert's imagination and desire to draw were first fueled by his frequent visits to the corner newsstand in his Brooklyn neighborhood to purchase comic books, especially those that featured the art of Neal Adams, George Perez, and Jim Aparo. Later, the films seen on local TV, everything from the comedies of Abbott & Costello and The Marx Brothers, B Monster movies, and especially the Planet of the Apes series, left a definite imprint in his work. Incorporating an ever-growing cast of Apes, Tikis, and appearances from the likes of Doc Savage, Tarzan, The Shadow, and more, he is creating a unique narrative through his paintings and sculptures. Robert's work has appeared on album covers for Gold Dust Lounge and Stolen Idols and in magazines such as Exotica Moderne, Tiki Magazine, PKD Otaku, Gnarly and Pinstriping & Kustom Graphics. His work is also featured in the books, THE THING:ARTBOOK, VISIONS FROM THE UPSIDE DOWN: STRANGER THINGS ARTBOOK, GHOSTBUSTERS: ARTBOOK and has shown in galleries including Disneyland's Wonderground, Harold Golen, M Modern, Creature Features, and Bear & Bird among others. You can also see Robert's work in trading card sets for licenses such as Garbage Pail Kids, Wacky Packages, Mars Attacks, Star Wars, DC Comics, Firefly, Ghostbusters, Adventure Time and more. Most notably Robert has recently illustrated cards for the Star Wars Trading Card App.” Speaking of Indy, I had a blast talking with Dan Zehr on Coffee with Kenobi about the Last Crusade as part of his series on the films leading up to the premiere. It was fun talking with him and Dennis Keithly from Podcast Stardust on that show.

HAVE YOU SUBSCRIBED TO "Before the Bell?" https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFmyKJKseEMQp1d14AjvMUw (3/17/23) Bank math is a lot like Abbott & Costello math; the main issue with banks is lack of mark-to-market; SVB problem was it's the tech-darling, whose product was sub-prime business loans based on "social credit." (See "The Panic of 1907"). How diversity and equity nearly crashed the economy (NY Post). Is the Fed's 2% inflation target realistic? The ECB continues to raise rates; what will the Fed do? Credit Suisse and First Republic: Euphoria vs reality? Why more Americans under-estimate Social Security benefits. Including sequence of returns in financial planning; everything is rosy at brokerage firms, and the answer for every question is stocks. The "S" in ESG is stinky. The luck of retirement in the economic cycle; the 4% Rule is a lie. Janet Yellen calls Jamie Dimon; hilarity ensues; Credit Suisse bail out vs realization that some things cannot be fixed; Labor & Demographic trends: Effects of inflation, prices are not going backwards; seniors going back to work. IQ vs EQ (emotional quotient).

With Matthew and Nick's book “The Annotated Abbott & Costello” hitting the shelves, it is the perfect time to debate the duo's appeal…or lack thereof, to Marx Brothers fans. We almost entitled this ep, “Nick & Matthew Meet the Skeptic: Noah Diamond” as he has been resistant to Abbott & Costello's charms so far. The guys put Noah to the test with choice clips to gauge his reaction (sorry folks, no “Who's on First?”). Will his preconceptions be shattered? The guys also discuss the differences between the two teams, try to decipher exactly what is going on in Bud Abbott's head...and wonder if Bud, in fact, was the funnier of the pair. We know you'll enjoy this as sure as 7 x 13 = 28.

This episode of The Edgar Bergen Show with Charlie McCarthy features Edward Everett Horton and Abbott & Costello as guests. It aired on May 3, 1942.

The film debut for Abbott & Costello, but can even their timeless comedy routines save this film?  Features "Who's on First?" and stars Robert Cummings, William Frawley, Allan Jones, and Nancy Kelly.
