I have a copy of the Abbott & Costello radio episode of the "Who's on First" routine ... (April 17, 1947) in which Joe DiMaggio asks Lou to substitute for him while he's recovering in the hospital from a foot operation.
The last line in the ep is ... "Costello: And a special goodnight to Joe DiMaggio ... get well quick Joe!"
This episode is also one of the ones that states the "Who's on First" routine is available on phonograph.
(Ask yer grandpa what a phonograph is)

Ah, yes. I have a copy of that radio show. I have for years. That one radio show is one of the best episodes of any radio show, ever. There are so many good jokes. It's Abbott & Costello at their stellar best. I've heard a few other episodes of their show, but none of them even come close to topping this. And it's more than just the "Who's On First" routine. The entire episode has material on par with that routine. It will keep you laughing for the entire 30 minutes.
The routine was actually written by Lou Costello. So, it wasn't one of those routines that the Stooges would have done.

This got me to thinking. (I know, here we go...) What if the Stooges had a radio show? It would have been interesting to see how they would have done on radio.
Mattie Herring:
True, but I don't think the show would survive long enough for us to be able to listen to it.
