Wacky Wednesday Comedy Showcase: Wayne & Shuster in a Greek Restaurant

Wayne and Shuster, one of the funniest and most creative comedy teams of the last century came to us from Toronto, Canada. Johnny Wayne (born Louis Weingarten) and Frank Shuster were active professionally from the early 1940s until the late 1980s, first as a live act, then on radio, then as part of The Army Show that entertained troops in Europe during World War II, and then on both Canadian and American television. 

Wayne and Shuster appeared 67 times on The Ed Sullivan Show from 1958 to 1969. Their sketches ran for about 12 minutes and were elaborate in their use of costumes and had large casts of characters.

Today we're sharing a classic comedy sketch by Wayne and Shuster set in a Greek restaurant where the specialty of the house is Spanakoteropita.

Enjoy!
