This version of the classic routine was performed on ‘The Abbott and Costello Show’ in 1953. Wikipedia says that it’s widely considered to be the definitive version.

That is as funny as going to the Susquahana Hat Company.

The definitive version for me will always be the one they did in "The Naughty Nineties".

I completely agree with you, AUG ... I was going to put the link on for that one myself.

I posted this in June of 2020 after Robert Mueller testified before the House committee about the Russia Hoax.


They should put Mueller in a comedy act with Biden. what a laugh that would be.

Biden: Who's on first, What's on second, I Don't Know is on third.

Mueller: Who what?

Biden: Not "Who what?" It's "That's what I'm asking you, who's on first?"

Mueller: I don't know.

Biden: No, that's my line. Start over.

Mueller: Who's testifying first? You or me?

Biden: I'm not testifying, I'm running for Senator, no, President.

Mueller: Who's running for President?

Biden: I don't know.

Mueller : Third base!

Please put it on Rumble so I don’t have to watch a commercial.

YouTube is unpredictable when it comes to ads. I checked the link three times before posting. And I didn’t get a single commercial. But I’m not surprised that you got one.

P.S. I’m not the person who put that clip on YouTube. I’m just linking it here. And I don’t even know what Rumble is. But I’m going to check it out!

Way back in 1973 I recall someone saying “Guess who’s playing at the Garden?’
Me “Who”?
Him “Yes”.

I've watched hundreds, maybe thousands, of YouTube videos over the years and have yet to see a commercial.

Maybe YT puts commercials in their movies, never watched one of those.

I was told by somebody who claimed he saw it, that there was a version featuring the Cleveland Indians back in the late 40s or early 50s. That was over 20 years ago and still have never found any clue as to weather a recording or even a transcript exist.
