Step up to the plate with The Old Time Radio Snack Wagon as we swing into a special three-part series celebrating the timeless hilarity of Abbott and Costello's "Who's on First?" routine! In this episode, host Adam Graham delves into the storied past of this iconic skit, tracing its roots back to vaudeville and beyond. Discover the lesser-known origins from the 1880s and the parallels with the Vaudeville "Who's the Boss?" routine, as we explore the comedic lineage that set the stage for Abbott and Costello's legendary performance.

We then take a listen to a performance of Who's The Boss among other classic routines by the comedy team of Tom Howard and George Shelton that was performed by the Fleishmann's Yeast Hour with Rudy Vallee.

Original Radio Broadcast: November 14, 1933
