Actually, it really happened! This 1939 souvenir program from a charity game contains many photos and facsimile autographs. Comedians on the team included Buster Keaton; Groucho, Chico & Harpo Marx; the Ritz Brothers; Joe E. Brown; Laurel and Hardy; Eddie Cantor; Charley Chase; George Burns; Harold LLoyd; Joe Penner; Mae West; Edgar Kennedy; Andy Devine; and Jack Benny. It seems they were doing the same thing for football, too...
