Ladies, I was born in June of 1933 and am now 91 years old. I remember hearing Kate Smith's radio show in 1938 and that was the first time it aired. Bud Abbott and Lou Costello, the creators, had been doing it in comedy clubs as stand up comedians for probably ten to twelve years before that radio show so. They spent many, many years perfecting their timing and mannerisms. A truly remarkable piece of comedic genius.
Chin-Lung Hu is a professional baseball player from Taiwan. He plays in a Chinese league now, but he spent a few years in the Dodger's organization and one with the Mets. Never really managed to stick on the big league teams, but he did play in a total of 118 major league games over the course of 5 years. He didn't play 1st base, he's a middle infielder. But you can imagine the joy of the broadcasters whenever he hit a single and they got to say, "Hu's on first!"
And that particular rendition of it is the best I've seen/heard, I grew up with this specific performance on an audio cassette that I'm surprised I didn't wear out.
This skit never gets old. I have seen it many times & it still is funny! This is what you call good clean comedy that has lasted for decades. That was real talent! What a difference compared to the garbage that gets passed off today as comedy full of swearing & dirty jokes.
This makes me laugh no matter how many times I see it. You don't see comedy like that anymore. It's clean, no cursing and the whole family can enjoy it.
When I was growing up, our local TV station had a Sunday afternoon movie. More often than not, they were either Abbott and Costello, The Marx Brothers, or The Bowery Boys. Weekdays, at 5:30 PM, we had Cactus Pete and later Uncle Briggs. They aired a cartoon or two and one of the shorts (short films) done by The Three Stooges or The Little Rascals. It was a good time to be a kid.
This is such a funny skit but what makes it so great is the fact that they are telling the story so fast and not making any mistakes,that would be tough.I'm so glad you Ladies enjoyed it.
And "Loafing" is pretty funny too. And Loafing and this skit is from The Abbott and Costello Show that ran for two seasons. And the most famous version of the Who's on First routine was featured in one of their movies The Naughty Nineties. And a bunch of their skits were featured in their movies.
My dad was especially fond of Laurel & Hardy (he called them, "Fat & Skinny'") so my indoctrination to comedy classics started at birth. Abbott & Costello routines never get old. Even those taken from their TV show (when they were slowing down a bit) are always fun to watch and play along with.
The Three Stooges were popular in the 1930s. Bud Abbott (taller thinner man) and Lou Costello started in 1936. Their movies were 1941 to 1956. This version is from their TV show (1952 - 1953).
Thanks for the excellent video and reaction. As a Brit, used to see their films in the 70's on television when I was a kid, loved them. Recommend their brilliant sketch 7 x 13 equals 28.
Their patter routine "Who's on First?" is considered one of the greatest comedy routines of all time,[1] a version of which appears in their 1945 film The Naughty Nineties.
this is a classic, and it never gets old. tom pastis, who writes and draws the comic strip "pearls before swine", used the routine in his strip, substituting the names of rock musicians and bands.
Hearing Grandmas accent make me long for days gone by. I wonder if she spent anytime near Harkers island or Carteret county North Carolina. I ask because, if I close my eyes while she talks I can vividly picture my great aunt's and cousins talking. I always enjoy the reactions. Keep these classics alive. Happy Birthday Lulu.
Other great skits by Abbot and Costello.... 2 tens for a five, mustard, jonah and the whale, loafing, Costello gets fired, Hertz U-Drive and so many more
That may be their best-known skit. It’s on continuous play at the Baseball Hall Of Fame in Cooperstown, NY. Truly timeless humor (as long as baseball survives, anyway).
Animaniacs did a version of this with Slappy Squirrel, at an outdoor concert, wherein one of the bands was The Who. There are shorter references to it in various other places throughout popular culture. Now that you've seen it, you'll notice them from time to time. This version of the skit was filmed in the fifties, I think; but the skit itself is older than that. Abbot and Costello started performing their baseball version in the late twenties IIRC, and it was conceptually based on older vaudeville skits that predated them.
This recording is from their TV show in the 1950s. They've been doing this routine since vaudeville in the 1930s and did it many times, so by this point it just came natural.
It was records in 1953 this version from the Abbott and Costello show. They been performing this in the 30s on radio 40s in the movies. There are so many more skits
I love listening to the radio episode of Who’s On First. The radio broadcast was sponsored by Camel cigarettes and includes the talents of Skinnay Ennis singing ‘Linda’ and Marilyn Maxwell singing ‘New Orleans’. The premise of the episode is New York Yankee Joe DiMaggio sends a telegram to Costello asking him to sub in for him as he is recovering from a foot operation. The episode runs for roughly 29-30 minutes.
We had a 78rpm record by Spike Jones of this. It was the first time I heard this. It was and still is a classic. Thanks for reviewing it. This was from the 1950s due to tv. Not sure when they actually did this for the first time.
If you want Lulu to see the Three Stooges these are the episodes to look into as they are now in public domain and not subject to copyright any longer. 1. Disorder in the Court 2. Brideless Groom 3. Sing a Song of Six Pants 4. Malice in the Palace
They play this on a constant loop at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY. Also, Lulu is right the name of the umpire is never mentioned, although I personally always fixated on the mystery of the rightfielder’s identity.
In some versions of this skit, the right fielder is named Nobody. Of course, you can imagine Lou's reaction to Bud telling him that Nobody will catch that line drive to right field.
That's right! Using the names of President Reagan's Cabinet like, James "Watt", and Chinese President "Who." I saw it Live and it was absolutely Hilarious!
I saw that comic first time I was like 8 we were watching them do this base ball skit and Dad was reading the paper out in the kitchen just as the skit came to a close my dad burst out laughing , I know he had seen it many times before
Abbott & Costello teamed up as a comedic duo in 1936 and Abbott, already familiar with this sketch, started honing the skit with Costello. It's first performance on a national radio show was in 1938. The sketch was performed many times, while continually honed and was copyrighted in 1944, though it was rarely performed exactly the same twice. The skit was included in the 1945 movie "The Naughty Nineties" and that longer version is considered to be the best rendition. In 1956 a gold record of that rendition "Who's on First" was placed in the Baseball Hall of Fame, along with that 1945 rendition from the movie The Naughty Nineties, along with the video from that movie, is played continuously on various screens in the Baseball Hall of Fame. In 1999 Times magazine named the routine the Best Comedy Sketch of the 20th century. In 2002 a 1938 recording was placed in The Library of Congress's National Recording Registry. And, in 2005, the line "Who's on First" was inducted on the American Film Institute's List of the 100 most memorable movie quotations.
This clip was taken from an episode of TV's The Abbott and Costello Show first shown May 15, 1953. The mentioning of the names Sticky Fields and Booby Barber were a nod to series regulars Sid Fields and Bobby Barber.
@@majkus I went back and listened to it again and I definitely heard Costello say "Sticky." I turned on the closed-captioning and it said "Sticky" too. I think A&C were laughing at an in-joke because they were adding funny nicknames to real last names of prominent co-stars from their show. Fields appeared in 50 of the 52 total episodes and Barber in 26. Besser showed up in only 12.
Fun Fact: Many modern wordplay jokes comedians do is based on this original skit. Even though many have their own variations from it, no one has been able to perform this type of routine as cleanly and performatively as Abbot and Costello.
Johnny Carson did a similar skit when Regan was in office and we had a Chinese ambassador named Wu and a cabinet member named Watts and it gets really funny.
I'll add my vote to those suggesting you watch the 7 times 13 equals 28 A&C sketch next. Also, watch the Three Stooges short "Men In Black". It shares a little of the same DNA as "Who's On First", and it was the only time the Stooges were nominated for an Academy Award.
Sadly from an era where the acts appeared on stage in places like vaudeville and music halls in England. They were multi talented could sing, dance, tell jokes maybe play an instrument. My Dad liked these guys and I believe they made a couple of movies. Many such acts went on to tour war zones entertaining troops. Bob Hope entertained troops in World War 2 and Vietnam. My maternal Grandparents were singers in the 1940's. I really enjoy your .music reactions. This was different but equally enjoyable.
Hi lovely ladies. Oh, I just caught this. You're doing some comedy now. Cool! Donna's right. This skit is a long time ago. This one here was aired on television in 1953. Even though it's in black and white, there is also now a colorized version which was redone in color. After watching it in black and white for so long, it looked funny when I watched the color version. They must have cut off some of this one video before it started because it should have started out with both of them coming out from behind the curtain and asking the crowd what they would like to hear, and they said baseball. If you notice, when your video first showed them, you'll see that Costello was holding the back of his head. That's because he just hit himself with the baseball bat. I don't know why your version cut those parts out. Hay Linda, you missed a good zinger with Lulu because when you asked her who is in the outfield and Lulu said "I don't know" you could have said "3rd base" and I like when you told Lulu "Why" and she just smiles and says "Oh". lol and don't forget that "Because" was in center field. I like your Guns N' Roses shirts. I forgot to mention that when I played back in the metal bands, I had met a few of the people who you've done music video reaction on and one of them was when our band met one of the members of Guns N' Roses, among others from other bands who we had also met. Great Job! Ladies!
I know I'm late to this comment party, but I had to add my two cents because you reminded me of my dad when you were talking about your pa. My dad's family was from Arkansas, though he was born in California, and he had a southern drawl, watched little Rascals, Three Stooges, and Abbott and Costello just like yours did, and like your dad, he didn't laugh often, but loved these guys too.
Wordplay sketches date well before this routine @ the birth of the twentieth century and there also were predecessors of the piece which involved baseball. Two other collaborators - John Grant (who(!) brought A&C together as a team and became their main gagman) and Will Glickman (a staff writer on "The Kate Smith Hour" radio show) - helped to perfect the skit further. My Auntie Gloria was a film/TV actress, and one of her early presentations was performing in an episode of A&C's TV program (she had a bit-part but nevertheless it was a spoken role).
This skit goes back into the thirties . Abbott and Costello started out in Vaudeville, before going on the radio , and into the movies . Have you ever heard of Laurel and Hardy ? A and C are in the Baseball Hall of Fame for Who's on First . If you're interested in their movies , I recommend Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein .
A fun fact - this skit got them into the Baseball Hall of Fame - making they and Gladys Gooding - a long-time Brooklyn Dodgers organist, the only non-baseball people celebrated there.
Ladies, I was born in June of 1933 and am now 91 years old. I remember hearing Kate Smith's radio show in 1938 and that was the first time it aired. Bud Abbott and Lou Costello, the creators, had been doing it in comedy clubs as stand up comedians for probably ten to twelve years before that radio show so.

Chin-Lung Hu is a professional baseball player from Taiwan. He plays in a Chinese league now, but he spent a few years in the Dodger's organization and one with the Mets. Never really managed to stick on the big league teams, but he did play in a total of 118 major league games over the course of 5 years. He didn't play 1st base, he's a middle infielder. But you can imagine the joy of the broadcasters whenever he hit a single and they got to say, "Hu's on first!"
Vin Scully said that!
Abbott and Costello honed this routine to a razor edge. It's timeless.
And that particular rendition of it is the best I've seen/heard, I grew up with this specific performance on an audio cassette that I'm surprised I didn't wear out.
This skit never gets old. I have seen it many times & it still is funny! This is what you call good clean comedy that has lasted for decades. That was real talent! What a difference compared to the garbage that gets passed off today as comedy full of swearing & dirty jokes.
The timing and flow of this routine is impeccable.
I have been laughing at that for almost 60 years. It never gets old.
Abbott and Costello were induced in the baseball Hall of Fame because of this routine
A version of this skit plays on a loop at the Baseball Hall of Fame......
Wow! Didn't know that thank you 👍👍👍👍
That is so cool!
Inducted too!! LMAO
The most brilliant comedy gag / routine ever created.
This makes me laugh no matter how many times I see it. You don't see comedy like that anymore. It's clean, no cursing and the whole family can enjoy it.
Lulu missed a great opportunity at 7:37 when Kathy asked her, "And who's the outfield?" I was shouting, "No, Who's on first!"
Me too.
An absolute classic i grew up watching them on reruns. There carrier was from 1940 to 1956.
I like to give Lulu credit because you wouldn't believe how many reactors don't get it but Lulu knew right away what the players names were
I've seen this routine since I was younger than Lulu and it never gets old.
When I was growing up, our local TV station had a Sunday afternoon movie. More often than not, they were either Abbott and Costello, The Marx Brothers, or The Bowery Boys. Weekdays, at 5:30 PM, we had Cactus Pete and later Uncle Briggs. They aired a cartoon or two and one of the shorts (short films) done by The Three Stooges or The Little Rascals.

This is such a funny skit but what makes it so great is the fact that they are telling the story so fast and not making any mistakes,that would be tough.I'm so glad you Ladies enjoyed it.
Loved watching their movies growing up 👍
A true classic. There are some other great skits by them. I would suggest reacting to 7 times 13 is 28 and 2 tens for a five. Great reaction.
Thanks for the tips!
I definitely agree! 7x13=28 is great!
They pretty much convinced me.
And "Loafing" is pretty funny too. And Loafing and this skit is from The Abbott and Costello Show that ran for two seasons. And the most famous version of the Who's on First routine was featured in one of their movies The Naughty Nineties. And a bunch of their skits were featured in their movies.
The Little Rascals, The Three Stooges, Abbott and Costello, and Laurel and Hardy were staples of my childhood! I'm 69 as of this month!
Yes same for me I am 73 and remember all these guys and love watching them and nothing today compares
My dad was especially fond of Laurel & Hardy (he called them, "Fat & Skinny'") so my indoctrination to comedy classics started at birth.
Abbott & Costello routines never get old.
Even those taken from their TV show (when they were slowing down a bit) are always fun to watch and play along with.
So sweet to hear about your Papa… ❤
Best comedy skit of all time.
The Three Stooges were popular in the 1930s. Bud Abbott (taller thinner man) and Lou Costello started in 1936. Their movies were 1941 to 1956. This version is from their TV show (1952 - 1953).
Abbot and Costello are iin the Baseball Hall of Fame because of this skit.
Seamless delivery.
ive seen this 100 times and i still have tears from laughing so hard. I watched these re runs as a kid too
Thanks for the excellent video and reaction. As a Brit, used to see their films in the 70's on television when I was a kid, loved them. Recommend their brilliant sketch 7 x 13 equals 28.
The clip is from their TV show from 1952 to '54. The episode in which this was featured is "The Actor's Home".
Take 1 joke, beat it to absolute heck....and it's freaking hysterical
That’s the best brain 🧠 exercise ever 🤣 (I’m old 😂) I can’t tell you how many times it took me to Wrap (rationalize) my head around 🤣🤣🤣😂
You definitely need to let Lulu react to some 3 Stooges & even The Little Rascals ✌💖☮
This was originally a bit done in Vaudeville. This skit is so famous it is actually in the baseball hall of fame.
The centerfielder is Because & the shortstop is I don't give a darn. Awesome!
Some vintage funny comedy from these guys ladies. They knew how to make people laugh. Wintersun Alex ❄️👋
Their patter routine "Who's on First?" is considered one of the greatest comedy routines of all time,[1] a version of which appears in their 1945 film The Naughty Nineties.
This is iconic even in the UK!
Hey Ladies! Classic comedy routine!! Hilarious! Enjoy.🤣🤣🤣👍😎
🤣🤣🤣🤣. Man. Does this bring back memories from my early sixties childhood.
this is a classic, and it never gets old. tom pastis, who writes and draws the comic strip "pearls before swine", used the routine in his strip, substituting the names of rock musicians and bands.
Jeff Dunham does a version substituting Wi Fi passwords with Peanut
Great reaction, ladies! I think more comedy would be a good addition to your reaction channel.
You also have to remember that in those days they had to perform live. So they pulled this routine off without a misstep in a single live take.
Good job. You got all the jokes.
Now check out the 7+ 13 = 28 part they divide and multiply wow so funny and brilliant
Hearing Grandmas accent make me long for days gone by. I wonder if she spent anytime near Harkers island or Carteret county North Carolina. I ask because, if I close my eyes while she talks I can vividly picture my great aunt's and cousins talking. I always enjoy the reactions. Keep these classics alive.
Happy Birthday Lulu.
Thank you. Donna was born and raised in Texas.
😁. It’s such a classic
Other great skits by Abbot and Costello.... 2 tens for a five, mustard, jonah and the whale, loafing, Costello gets fired, Hertz U-Drive and so many more
This is one of my favorite skits. 😂😂🤣🤣
Ladies they also had did some movies. Check out 1948s "Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein".
That may be their best-known skit. It’s on continuous play at the Baseball Hall Of Fame in Cooperstown, NY. Truly timeless humor (as long as baseball survives, anyway).

Good clean Comedy !. See Henney Youngman heckles Milton Berle.
This recording is from their TV show in the 1950s. They've been doing this routine since vaudeville in the 1930s and did it many times, so by this point it just came natural.
It was records in 1953 this version from the Abbott and Costello show. They been performing this in the 30s on radio 40s in the movies. There are so many more skits
Classic comedy routine and still hilarious even today So well put together and timed and all with a straight face
He played the straitman perfect
I love listening to the radio episode of Who’s On First. The radio broadcast was sponsored by Camel cigarettes and includes the talents of Skinnay Ennis singing ‘Linda’ and Marilyn Maxwell singing ‘New Orleans’.

When the girl on the left asked; "Who's the outfield?" I thought that the girl in the middle should have said "No, Who is on first."
Wong Hu, Charlie Watt, Bill Adonough, Hector Tamara, Hideki Tidei, Paul Wye, Wilson B.Caws, and Eidon Givatarn... a great group of players.
Absolutely classic!
If Lulu hasn't watches any of the3 stooges, best episode to watch is called Disorder In The Court.
With the law firm of Dewey, Cheatum & Howe.
Best short with Shemp is Brideless Groom. Absolutely hysterical.
Jeff Dunham and Peanut... same sort of sketch .... very funny.
This is from 1954. But they originally did it on the radio in 1938
Another Abbott & Costello that is just as funny: Loafing! Highly recommended!
This bit is in the baseball hall of fame....check out Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein..one of the great monster movies of all time..
Hey guys you should watch Abbott and Cosstello 7 ×13 = 28 it's SO good as well. I love you guys to cool to see a family doing things together.
If you want Lulu to see the Three Stooges these are the episodes to look into as they are now in public domain and not subject to copyright any longer.
1. Disorder in the Court
2. Brideless Groom
3. Sing a Song of Six Pants
4. Malice in the Palace
Disorder in the Court!

For Halloween, you all need to watch, Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948). It’s held up very well and is a lot of scary fun. Really.
This clip was taken from an episode of TV's The Abbott and Costello Show first shown May 15, 1953. The mentioning of the names Sticky Fields and Booby Barber were a nod to series regulars Sid Fields and Bobby Barber.
"Stinky" Fields, a nod to the Joe Besser regular character 'Stinky', I think?
@@majkus I went back and listened to it again and I definitely heard Costello say "Sticky." I turned on the closed-captioning and it said "Sticky" too. I think A&C were laughing at an in-joke because they were adding funny nicknames to real last names of prominent co-stars from their show.

Many such acts went on to tour war zones entertaining troops. Bob Hope entertained troops in World War 2 and Vietnam.
My maternal Grandparents were singers in the 1940's.
I really enjoy your .music reactions. This was different but equally enjoyable.
Hi lovely ladies. Oh, I just caught this. You're doing some comedy now. Cool! Donna's right. This skit is a long time ago. This one here was aired on television in 1953. Even though it's in black and white, there is also now a colorized version which was redone in color.

I know I'm late to this comment party, but I had to add my two cents because you reminded me of my dad when you were talking about your pa.

Thanks for the story.
Y'all need to watch the movie, "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein."
This sketch was first performed in their Movie The Naughty Nineties in 1945
This particular performance was performed in 1953, but the skit goes back to the very early 40's.
Everyone seems to miss 'because' is center field. Good reaction.
I'm 53 this is always funny every time i have seen it
All time classic! Another routine you would like, Hudson & Landry 'Nobody's Business'.
This was first broadcast on The Kate Smith Show on 03/24/1938.
Kathy you missed your chance, you asked about the outfielder and Lulu said I don't know...He plays 3rd base!
Wordplay sketches date well before this routine @ the birth of the twentieth century and there also were predecessors of the piece which involved baseball. Two other collaborators - John Grant (who(!) brought A&C together as a team and became their main gagman) and Will Glickman (a staff writer on "The Kate Smith Hour" radio show) - helped to perfect the skit further. My Auntie Gloria was a film/TV actress, and one of her early presentations was performing in an episode of A&C's TV program (she had a bit-part but nevertheless it was a spoken role).
This skit goes back into the thirties . Abbott and Costello started out in Vaudeville, before going on the radio , and into the movies . Have you ever heard of Laurel and Hardy ? A and C are in the Baseball Hall of Fame for Who's on First . If you're interested in their movies , I recommend Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein .
Shemp Howard from the Three Stooges actually appeared in a couple of Abbott & Costello movies
I think the Golden Girls pillow should be visible at all times. To get the full effect of your channel, lol.
According to Wikipedia Abbott and Costello did this in 1937.
They play The Abbott And Costello Skit in The Baseball Hall Of Fame in Cooperstown New York
Who's on next?! Hopefully, The 1973 live version of Hocus Pocus by Focus! 🙂
Shempf of The Three Stooges was the understudy of Abbott and Costello, and appeared in many of their movies, prior to forming The Three Stooges.
they started the rpoutine in 1938 on radio-this is from 1953.
You said it Donna . The little Rascals or our gang. Please .
One of the times he said "I don't give a damn."
A fun fact - this skit got them into the Baseball Hall of Fame - making they and Gladys Gooding - a long-time Brooklyn Dodgers organist, the only non-baseball people celebrated there.
Who's On First !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Enough said!!!!!
beautiful family
Hey Gals, Old FC-2 Here, This is A CLASIC. kEEP UP THE gREAT wORKS.
