Did you know that Gracie was originally supposed to be the straight woman? The married team is amazing! One of my favorites. The duo first teamed up in 1923 following the break up of George’s partnership with straight man Billy Lorraine. Burns later recalled… “ they laughed when she asked the questions and didn’t laugh when I gave the punchline, so I gave her all the jokes.”
This is the first season opening title (1950-'51), when the show was presented live on alternate Thursdays [8pm(et)], for Carnation Evaporated Milk. "Love Nest" was the show's theme [except during the 1952-'54 period, when the first two filmed seasons used "Two-A-Day", a stock music cue].
