Abbott & Costello | Running a Newspaper with Hedda Hopper

Abbott & Costello are taking back their Sunday Night Timeslot! Join us for NEW Abbott and Costello flashbacks every Sunday Night here on B4TV!

Join Bud Abbott and Lou Costello for one of the most beloved comedy teams of the Golden Age of Radio.

Before television made them household rerun legends, Abbott and Costello were packing radio broadcasts with rapid-fire wordplay, vaudeville timing, running gags, guest stars, musical numbers, and Lou’s glorious ability to misunderstand absolutely everything at full speed.

Their radio career included a 1940 summer series and a major weekly run from 1942 through 1949, first on NBC and later on ABC. Their classic routines, including the legendary “Who’s on First?”, helped define American comedy timing for generations.

B4TV presents Abbott and Costello as part of our classic radio comedy lineup — vintage laughs, sharp patter, old-school showbiz charm, and the kind of comic chaos that still lands when the timing is this good.

Subscribe for more classic radio comedy, mystery, crime, sci-fi, westerns, adventure, and Golden Age entertainment.
