This episode from November of 1956 features the legendary Lou Costello of Abbott and Costello comedy team. This is such a bittersweet episode as they discuss the tragic death of Lou's son Lou Jr as a toddler but even more so to know that in 1959 both Lou and his wife Anne would both die way too young. Lou would die of an apparent heart attack in March of 1959 and his widow Anne would die of a stroke in December of that same year. They had 3 daughters and the youngest, Chris, would write his biography in 1981 Lou's On First.
