210 - Abbott and Costello Discussion with expert Ron Palumbo, plus special guest Beverly Washburn
This is an interview episode, where Steven is joined by Ron Palumbo to discuss Abbott and Costello! We are also extremely lucky to have a guest appearance by Beverly Washburn at the end of this episode to share her memories of working with Lou Costello on Wagon Train.
Ron Palumbo is the foremost authority on the careers of Bud Abbott and Lou Costello, and a valued consultant to the Abbott and Costello estates.
With the encouragement and approval of the families, Ron founded the Official Abbott and Costello Fan Club in 1986 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Bud and Lou teaming up in burlesque. The fan club is still active and publishes an online magazine.
Palumbo co-authored (with Bob Furmanek) “Abbott and Costello in Hollywood,” the definitive guide to every one of the team’s 36 films. Leonard Maltin said that it had “more details on the making of their films than any book I’ve ever seen.”
He is also the author of “Buck Privates: The Original Screenplay” and “Hold That Ghost: The Original Screenplay,” which meticulously document the making of two of Abbott and Costello’s best-loved films and include the shooting scripts. He has a third book in this series on “One Night in the Tropics,” the team’s film debut, coming out early in 2024.
The Library of Congress has called on Ron to write essays on the boys’ signature routine, “Who’s On First?” and their most popular film, “Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein.”
He has also written the liner notes for the definitive boxed sets of the team’s films and television series and provided acclaimed commentary tracks for their films and episodes of their classic TV series.
Ron has appeared in “A&E Biography Meets Abbott and Costello” the “Today” show, the documentary “Abbott and Costello Meet the Monsters,” as well as countless radio shows and podcasts.
He is an advertising creative director who has won every industry award...but regrets that he has never had the opportunity to use clips of Bud and Lou in a commercial.
We hope that you enjoyed that episode! We would like to thank Mr. Palumbo and Beverly Washburn again for joining us! We again recommend both seasons of the Abbott and Costello TV show and their Jack and the Beanstalk movie! We also suggest getting Ron’s books too!
