Abbott and Costello Show

Abbott and Costello Show



The Abbott and Costello Radio Show was a popular comedy program during the golden age of radio in the United States. It featured the iconic comedy duo of Bud Abbott and Lou Costello, known for their quick-witted banter and classic routines like "Who's on First?" The show originally aired on NBC from July 3, 1940, as a summer replacement for The Fred Allen Show, and later became a regular program in the fall of 1942, running through June 9, 1949, with a transition to ABC in 1947. The 30-minute weekly show blended comedy sketches, often drawn from the duo’s vaudeville roots, with musical interludes featuring performers like Connie Haines, Marilyn Maxwell, and various orchestras. The sketches typically revolved around Bud and Lou’s humorous attempts to succeed in various business ventures or everyday situations, filled with their signature wordplay and misunderstandings. Supporting players included Ken Niles as the announcer (later succeeded by Michael Roy and others), Elvia Allman as Mrs. Niles, and Joe Kirk, Costello’s brother-in-law, who often played a heckling Italian immigrant character. Other recurring voices like Artie Auerbach (Mr. Kitzel) and Mel Blanc added to the lively cast.
