Who's on First? is a comedy routine made famous from 1938 onwards by American comedy duo Bud Abbott and Lou Costello. It was featured in the team's 1940 film debut, One Night in the Tropics and again in their 1945 film The Naughty Nineties.
The premise of the routine is that Abbott is saying the names of the players on a baseball team to Costello, but their names and nicknames can be interpreted as non-responsive answers to Costello's questions. The first baseman is named "Who"; thus, "Who's on first?" and the answer "Who." ("Mr. Who is the name of the first baseman.")
It was said that Abbott and Costello performed "Who's On First?" a thousand times in their careers, and rarely was it performed the same way twice.
