Abbott & Costello

They were a comical duo. They started working together in 1936 until 1956. They were very successful above all in the radio, in the 'The Kate Smith Hour' program, although they also performed in Broadway and starred films.

They became more successful on the radio because of their word messings. Costello was the funniest of them, Abbott were more nearer a plump for the situation. Hanna-Barbera produced a cartoon TV serie about Abbott and Costello.

Later, Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis comical duo outshined Abbott and Costello. Martin and Lewis were a comical-musical duo.

I have written a post about them to introduce a little made up conversation between George W. Bush and Condoleezza Rice based on an Abbott and Costello's conversation, "Who's on First?". So the next conversation is not written by me. I hope you enjoy it, I find it very funny.
