| Anybody who knows there comedy past knows that George Burns and Gracie Allen were the premiere comedy duo in there day. They were on radio, movies and had there own show for eight years. Plus performing live together too. "TV HOSTS" may be a bit hard, but with the years acting as clues too, the person can then wonder what was on at the time. Plus the first set of years were given out because they were an actual duo performing around the country early on. Anybody trying to remember Laurel and Hardy, but can't remember their names, will always ask the person next to them about the "FAT MAN AND the SKINNY MAN". You almost always get the same answer. Oh! you mean Laurel and Hardy? They were in the 20th century by the way. Your going back to Louis XIV. Stiller an Meara might be married comedians to you, but to many they are a duo that have performed together since the 50's. They were on variety shows in the 70's (there peak) and even had a show of there own for a brief time. (which a young Amy and Ben Stiller performed on) You'll catch them in some movies together as a duo in some matter and in the rare occasion perform at the night clubs they once started in. I put Whose Line in there because they first started in 1987 on the radio before the TV show in the UK. Then when in the USA, Ryan, Colin and Wayne were in every episode with a revolving improver. So I look at Whose Line in general as a team. |
