Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Abbott and Costello's 'Who's on First?' was added to the Library of Congress National Recording Registry in 2003.
Their routines influenced everything from Seinfeld's banter to rap's call-and-response—this 1978 TV movie arrived right before their rediscovery boom of the 1980s cable era.
