Abbott & Costello
"Bud Abbott and Lou Costello" were an American comedy duo whose work in vaudeville and on stage, radio, film and television made them the most popular comedy team during the 1940s and early 1950s. Their routine "Who's on First?" is one of the best-known comedy routines of all time and set the framework for many of their best-known comedy bits. WIKI
Bud Abbott (1895–1974) was a veteran burlesque entertainer from a showbusiness family. He worked at Coney Island and ran his own burlesque touring companies. Lou Costello (1906–1959) had been a burlesque comic since 1930 after failing to break into movie acting and working as a stunt double and film extra. The two men first worked together in 1935 at the Eltinge Burlesque Theater on 42nd Street—now the lobby of the AMC Empire movie complex in New York City.
Out of all the material Abbott and Costello are famous for, I still like the short stuff. Here's an example of Abbot taking advantage of Costello.

This is a clip from the movie "The Noose Hangs High". I ask John Magnusson (our Coachmen resident dentist) to pay close attention as we feature another "Dentist encounter" that might assist him in improving proper "doctor . . . Patient" protocol!
Bud and Lou formally dissolved their partnership in 1957.
