I talk about Classic Comedy Teams documentary hosted by Steve Allen and go into a little of the teams listed there. I talk about my visit to Ulverston England (Stan Laurel's birthplace) and the part of London that Chaplin is from.

#5 - Tom Smothers 70th birthday, Chaplin "Forgotten Years" documentary, Abbott and Costello Feb radio show, Chaplin documentaries and anniversaries

We go into Unknown Chaplin DVD and the Forgotten Years, then Abbott & Costello's official site's February's old time radio release. And I talk about Tom Smothers turning 70 and a short bio of him, and how the Smothers Brothers have affected my appreciation of classic comedy. And I forgot to mention the Yo-Yo Man! Shame on me.
