Abbott and Costello
Costello told a joke about Bing on one of their radio shows I was listening too. He said, "I want a Crosby Cocktail."Marlene Deitrech said, " What kind of drink is that?" Lou said, " One drink then BING!" I know I probably didn't quote it exactly. Anyway, did Bing ever appear on the Abbott And Costello radio show?

Re: Abbott and Costello
A little bit unrelated, but I just listened to the radio broadcast Abbott & Costello did a few hours after Lou Costello's son drowned in their pull. It is heartbreaking hearing the show and knowing what Lou was going through.

Re: Abbott and Costello
David, I have that one. Poor Lou. Terrible that baby died like that. He was never the same after he lost his son. Lou was a good hearted man. Watch him on This is your Life on youtube. What a show!

His wife too was never the same and they died around each other. I could not imagine.

Re: Abbott and Costello
I remember this being depicted in the 1978 television film "Bud and Lou", based on the biography by Bob Thomas (who also wrote just a little after, that lovely picture book tribute, "The One and Only Bing").
In the tele-film, they dealt with Lou's sons death very sensitively. I thought for the limited budget they would have had, compared to a cinema biopic, the film was rather well done. Solid and decent performances from Harvey Korman and Buddy Hackett (is there anyone else anyone could imagine playing Lou?).
