Today we have a little taste of the home front, the December 9, 1943, episode of the Abbott & Costello Program as it aired over NBC. Bud Abbott and Lou Costello were the most popular and highest-paid comedy team of the World War 2 era, starring in numerous successful films and their hit radio show. They also were big earners for the war effort—the duo raised an estimated $85 million in war bonds during two national tours.
