[From "Kovacs Corner" on YouTube.com] - Abbott & Costello's signature comedy sketch from their half hour syndicated show filmed in 1952. The boys commonly referred to the skit simply as "Baseball", while the rest of the world knows it as "Who's On First?"

A gold record and a film clip of the routine are on permanent display in The Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY.

[Update 06/02/2010] - At the 1:14 mark, Lou throws in an ad-lib reference to the player "Booby Barber". It's an unexpected jab at Lou's on-camera antogonist Bobby Barber, and you can see Bud's obvious response. Bobby was another bald headed comedian in the Abbott & Costello troupe who usually succeeds in getting one over on Lou.

  • Lou looks like a chubby version of that mutt Sean Hannity, no disrespect to Lou, the above sketch will always be funny and the benchmark for comedy timing.

  • @AntonMortise Maybe Rupert should buy Sean a bowler hat?
