William Baker : Yeah he was the best if not one of the best and yes there are no comedians today alive like him I will agree just a bunch of dumb ass etc. people out there they wouldn’t appreciate Groucho’s kind of humor anyway or any one of the great comedians of America’s past! Unfortunate but true!

True.Today's so- called comedians are lewd & obnoxious,or have an act that gets old fast A good example of the lewd obnoxious variety is Any Schumer.I watched a show she made,all she talked about were genitalia & what a slut she is I liked Emo Phillips,but after two or three viewings it was the same old thing over & over Both are largely forgotten now @@nealsausen4651

His wit and charm were beyond the era. I don't think I know of any other comedian(s) other than the Rat Pack who could sway an audience with sheer simple humor alone. His play on words are quick, deadly and precise -- something I can relate to. When the host explained the order in which the contestants would ask questions, Marx responded "Why isn't he after her, I know I would be." Marx was a very good listener before anything else. He definitely enjoyed small-talk, although I think he found everyday phrases and sayings amusing too. He would dissect what was meant to be taken figuratively and throw it back to you with clever sarcasm disguised as childish innocence. But he could also be the aggressor, setting the stage for his wit and jokes. He would wait for you to strike, and then ruthlessly but nonchalantly retort with a simple logic that would leave the audience captivated and entertained.

llaneroloco1 This was 5 years before the Surgeon General's warning about tobacco. Although, you'd wonder how people needed the government to explain to them that inhaling toxic fumes was unhealthy. Of course, smokers since the 1964 Surgeon's General warning are even more stupid, because they KNOW it's bad and do it, nonetheless.
@bobburnitt14119 жыл бұрын
Jim Alexander Most people have known Smoking is BAD for a LONG TIME. My grandmother was born in 1900 but she NEVER smoked and KNEW it was bad, but ALL of her children smoked but my Mother. Oh they didn't have any "studies" to "cite". But people could see the damage it did. I can look at people that are 40 or better and tell you WHO has smoked and who has NOT and get it right MOST of the time. Especially with WOMEN, but I can do it with MEN as well. It will show in their FACE. People have been getting CANCER for a LONG TIME. People could connect the dots even long ago. People KNOW that tattoos are dangerous TOO, but it has not stopped that terrible epidemic at all. People KNOW "Drugs" are bad, but the War on Drugs will NEVER be won. It is the same problem as Prohibition of Alcohol, it is a FAILURE. People do what they want to do. The tobacco Companies are in no danger of going broke. Hell that moron President we have is a BIG Marijuana and tobacco smoker. I wish we had much less of a Nanny State. You know the MILITARY had a LOT to do with people smoking in WW II. At times Cigarettes were given to Soldiers as a "comfort Aid". Most of the time they had to buy their own, but at certain times, they were given to soldiers for free. Once addicted to Nicotine, let me tell you, that is just about the most POWERFUL addiction there IS. No matter how long you stay off of it, your brain is still wired, death is the only way to cure that. You can quit smoking for 30 years, (or worse Chewing tobacco) and if you EVER pick it back up, you are OFF the WAGON.

Very gutsy of the producers to allow Groucho to appear with his cigar when the sponsor was supposed to be R.J. Reynolds' Winston cigarettes (they sustained the show from 1955 through '61). They frowned on ANY other kind of on-air smoking [including pipes] when their cigarette brands sponsored a TV show- especially John Cameron Swayze's "CAMEL NEWS CARAVAN" on NBC in the early '50s {the exception was showing Sir Winston Churchill in news footage with HIS stogie}.

Where is the rest of this? What happened was that Harpo came out and everybody had to guess what his secret was. Nobody, not even Groucho, managed to guess. The thing was that it was NOT Harpo that came to the show at all. It was Chico dressed as Harpo. Out of their costumes, Chico and Harpo were almost identical. Even Groucho was fooled.

Someone like Groucho was always trying to be funny-which can tend to dominate a show and, if he is off, make things insufferable-like often was Hal Block on the first years of What's My Line... Fortunately, Groucho WAS a comic genius-and this taking over here, and when he was on the panel of Whats My Line in 1959, were these shows funniest segments ever!
