"Who's on First?" is one of the most iconic comedy bits of all time. First performed on the radio in 1938 by Abbott and Costello, the bit was perfected by the duo over the years, and was even performed for President Franklin Roosevelt. The screen version first appeared in 1940 in their movie One Night In The Tropics.
The reason this comedy bit has stayed around for so long is because it doesn't matter who you are or how old you are, it's always going to be funny! Not only that, it shows just how intelligent comedy can be, even when it doesn't seem that way!
Do you remember the first time you saw this routine? Do you consider it iconic? I have to admit that even though it doesn't make me laugh out loud, I am in awe at how quick-witted the whole thing is!
