Friday Refresher: "Who's On First?"

A classic Abbott & Costello sketch remains side-splittingly funny 84 years later

Friday Refresher: "Who's On First?"

Baseball season is approaching fast, so here’s a little inspiration to start out your week in a less-than-stressful manner.

This sketch was first performed in 1937, and can still catch you off-guard with its simple but brilliant wordplay. It was named “Best Comedy Sketch of the 20th Century” by Time magazine in its 1999 retrospective.

This version was filmed in 1953.

Will you enjoy watching it?

Naturally.
