As an amateur boxer in his hometown of Paterson, New Jersey, Costello won 32 straight fights before being knocked out. The loss ended his boxing career. Costello insisted that the money he and Bud Abbott earned from their comedy act be split 60/40, in Abbott's favor. Costello reasoned, "Comics are a dime a dozen. Good straight men are hard to find."

(DS9 novelization: Far Beyond the Stars) On 1 June 1944, Brigitte compared the temporally displaced Jake Sisko and Nog to Abbott and Costello as she regarded them as being comically mismatched due to the difference in their respective heights. Neither Jake nor Nog had ever heard of the duo. (DS9 novel: Trapped in Time) Charles Tucker III was a fan of the Abbott and Costello film Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein. (ENT episode: "Horizon") Miles O'Brien would joke with Keiko O'Brien that she was the Abbott to his Costello due to the differences between them, although Keiko did not understand the reference as Abbott and Costello references were considered to be archaic in the 24th century.
