Partner acts have long been an indelible staple of American show business. From Laurel & Hardy to Abbott & Costello to Key & Peele, many show biz folks will always be best remembered as being part of a team.
Chicago also had its very own legendary show business team: Siskel and Ebert. Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert were both well-known and highly esteemed as the film critics for the Chicago Tribune and the Chicago Sun-Times, respectively. Ebert was especially accomplished in his film scholarship, was a long-time teacher of film, and was the first film critic to win a Pulitzer Prize.
