It’s Lou Costello’s Birthday, ‘Who’s on First?’

Lou Costello was born on March 6, 1906, and though he's been dead and gone for over fifty years, he will never get old. The short, funny-man half of the comedy team Abbott and Costello will be remembered for generations to come because of the ever-popular 'Who's On First' routine.

I've seen and heard the 'Who's On First' routine countless times, yet, it makes me laugh every time I hear it. It's often times played before JUCO World Series games at Suplizio Field and I hope they never stop playing it.

Clearly, comedy has changed over the  years, but it's remarkable that this bit still makes us laugh more than 60  years later. I'm pretty sure Lou Costello had no idea that 'Who's on First' would still be making people laugh  well into the next century. It's ever-living proof that comedy does not have to be profane, vulgar, or sexual in order to be extremely funny.

So in honor of Lou Costello's birthday, let's take a few minutes to enjoy this classic rendition of 'Who's on First?' Bet you can't watch it without laughing!
