One-act routine fabricated famous past Abbott and Costello

Abbott and Costello performing "Who'south on Kickoff?"

"Who's on Get-go?" is a one-act routine fabricated famous by American one-act duo Abbott and Costello. The premise of the sketch is that Abbott is identifying the players on a baseball team for Costello. However, the players' names tin can simultaneously serve as the ground for questions (e.g., "Who is the commencement baseman?") and responses (e.g., "The first baseman's proper name is "Who."), leading to repeated misinterpretations and growing frustration between the performers.

History [edit]

"Who's on First?" is descended from turn-of-the-century burlesque sketches that used plays on words and names. Examples are "The Bakery Scene" (the shop is located on Watt Street) and "Who Dyed" (the owner is named "Who"). In the 1930 movie Croaky Nuts, comedians Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey examine a map of a mythical kingdom with dialogue like this: "What is next to Which." "What is the name of the boondocks side by side to Which?" "Yes." In British music halls, comedian Will Hay performed a routine in the early 1930s (and possibly earlier) as a schoolmaster interviewing a schoolboy named Howe, who came from Ware, but at present lives in Wye. By the early 1930s, a "Baseball Routine" had become a standard bit for burlesque comics across the United States. Abbott'due south married woman recalled him performing the routine with another comedian before teaming with Costello.[one]

Bud Abbott stated that it was taken from an older routine chosen "Who'due south The Boss?", a functioning of which can exist heard in an episode of the radio comedy plan It Pays to Exist Ignorant from the 1940s.[2] After they formally teamed up in burlesque in 1936, he and Costello continued to hone the sketch. It was a big hit in the fall of 1937, when they performed the routine in a touring vaudeville revue chosen Hollywood Bandwagon.[3] [4]

In February 1938, Abbott and Costello joined the bandage of The Kate Smith Hr radio program, and the sketch was starting time performed for a national radio audience on March 24 of that yr.[1] [5] The routine may have been farther polished before this broadcast past burlesque producer John Grant, who became the team's author, and Volition Glickman, a staff writer on the radio show.[six] Glickman may take added the nicknames of then-contemporary baseball game players like Silly and Daffy Dean to gear up the routine's premise. This version, with all-encompassing wordplay based on the fact that most of the fictional baseball team's players had "strange nicknames" that seemed to be questions, became known as "Who's on Offset?" Some versions go on with references to Enos Slaughter, which Costello misunderstands equally "He knows" Slaughter. By 1944, Abbott and Costello had the routine copyrighted.

Abbott and Costello performed "Who'south on First?" numerous times in their careers, rarely performing it exactly the same way twice. They did the routine for President Franklin Roosevelt several times. An abridged version was featured in the team's 1940 film debut, One Night in the Tropics. The duo reprised the flake in their 1945 film The Naughty Nineties, and it is that longer version which is considered their finest recorded rendition.[a] They besides performed "Who'southward on Offset?" numerous times on radio and goggle box (notably in The Abbott and Costello Prove episode "The Actor'due south Habitation", widely considered the definitive version).

In 1956, a gilt record of "Who's on Start?" was placed in the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, New York. A video (taken from The Naughty Nineties) now plays continuously on screens at the Hall.

In the 1970s, Selchow and Righter published a "Who'due south on Outset?" board game.

In 1999, Time named the routine All-time Comedy Sketch of the 20th Century.[7]

An early radio recording was placed in the Library of Congress'due south National Recording Registry in 2003.

In 2005, the line "Who's on Beginning?" was included on the American Film Institute'southward list of 100 memorable picture quotations.

Sketch [edit]

The names given in the routine for the players at each position are:

Position Role player
First base Who
Second base of operations What
Third base I Don't Know
Left field Why
Center field Because
Bullpen Tomorrow
Catcher Today
Shortstop I Don't Give a Darn! or I Don't Care!

The name of the shortstop is not given until the very finish of the routine, and the right fielder is never identified. In the Selchow and Righter board game, the right fielder's name is "Nobody".[eight]

At ane signal in the routine, Costello thinks that the commencement baseman is named "Naturally":

Abbott: Yous throw the ball to first base.
Costello: Then who gets it?
Abbott: Naturally.
Costello: Naturally.
Abbott: Now you've got it.
Costello: I throw the brawl to Naturally.
Abbott: You don't! You throw it to Who!
Costello: Naturally.
Abbott: Well, that'south it—say it that way.
Costello: That's what I said.
Abbott: You did not.
Costello: I said I throw the brawl to Naturally.
Abbott: You don't! You throw it to Who!
Costello: Naturally.

Abbott's explanations exit Costello hopelessly confused and infuriated, until the stop of the routine when Costello appears to parody Abbott by saying what appears to be gibberish to him, accidentally getting it correct:

Costello: Now I throw the ball to first base, whoever information technology is drops the ball, then the guy runs to second. Who picks up the ball and throws it to What. What throws it to I Don't Know. I Don't Know throws it dorsum to Tomorrow—a triple play.
Abbott: Yeah, it could be.
Costello: Another guy gets upwardly and information technology'southward a long fly brawl to Because. Why? I don't know. He'southward on tertiary, and I don't give a darn!
Abbott: What was that?
Costello: I said, I DON'T GIVE A DARN!
Abbott: Oh, that'southward our shortstop!

That is the nigh normally heard catastrophe. "I Don't Care" and "I Don't Requite a Damn" have besides turned up on occasion, depending on the perceived sensibilities of the audience. (The operation in the pic The Naughty Nineties ends with "I Don't Intendance.")

The skit was commonly performed on the team's radio series at the showtime of the baseball season. In ane example it serves every bit a climax for a broadcast which begins with Costello receiving a telegram from Joe DiMaggio request Costello to take over for him due to his injury.[nine] (In this case, the unidentified correct fielder would have been Costello himself. While Joe DiMaggio was all-time known every bit a center fielder, when Abbott and Costello honed the sketch in 1936–37, Joe DiMaggio had played a number of games at correct field (20 in 1936).[10])

Writing credit [edit]

Writing credits for the sketch are unknown[5] though, over the years, numerous people have claimed or been given credit for it. Such claims typically lack reasonable corroboration. For example, a 1993 obituary of comedy sketch author Michael J. Musto states that, before long after Abbott and Costello teamed up, they paid Musto $xv to write the script.[eleven] Furthermore, several 1996 obituaries of songwriter Irving Gordon mention that he had written the sketch.[12] [13]

Copyright infringement case [edit]

In 2015 the heirs of Abbott and Costello filed a federal copyright infringement lawsuit in the Southern District of New York challenge unauthorized use of over a minute of the comedy routine in the play Hand to God. The lawsuit was filed against the playwright Robert Askins, the producers and the promoters. The defense claimed that the underlying "Who's On Offset?" routine was in the public domain because the original authors, Abbott and Costello, were not the ones who filed a copyright renewal, simply the court did non come across the need to brand a terminal conclusion on that. The courtroom ruled against the heirs, saying that the use by the play was transformative fair utilize. The heirs appealed, somewhen to the Usa Supreme Court, which, in 2017, declined to review the case.[14] [15] [sixteen]
