This episode of "The Colgate Comedy Hour" has been renamed the "Abbott & Costello Christmas Show" and I found it on Amazon Prime. The show had a rotating host each week and many of the top acts of the day were featured each week. In this case, Abbott & Costello lead an amazingly chaotic live show
The show, like other installments of the series, features a lot of comedy as well as a variety of musical and non-musical acts. In this case, you have some singers, acrobats and the amazing Nicholas Brothers as well as several skits involving the hosts. The net result is wild fun--especially since Lou Costello continually breaks the fourth wall...something he was prone to doing on live television. All in all, some wonderful dancing by the Nicholas Brothers and some crazy, action-packed comedy from the hosts make this one well worth seeing..particularly if you love the comedy team. A lot of fun.
