Groucho Marx - TV Classics

When the Marx Brothers retired as a team in the 1940s, Groucho (sans his famous greasepaint mustache) began a solo career, first in radio, then in the new medium of television. From 1950 to 1961, Thursday nights found most American families gathered around their TV sets for a half-hour of unpredictable fun with You Bet Your Life, hosted by the master of ad-lib, Groucho Marx. Although it was a quiz show with players answering questions for money (and winning an extra 0 if they happened to say that week's secret word), the real entertainment came from Groucho's quick-witted exchanges with the game's contestants and with his hapless announcer and straight man George Fenneman.
