NOTE: The first couple of minutes of the episode are cut off.
There's a surprise appearance by someone Groucho wasn't expecting or he probably wouldn't have said some of the things he did. . .
And I still miss the duck.
COUPLE #1: Lena Marciano, mother of Rocky Marciano / Dr. James Brougher, 90 year old Baptist minister who gets off quite a few very funny jokes. A solider from the audience replaces Dr. Brougher in the quiz.

For those wondering, Dr. Brougher passed away in 1967, aged 97. His father was born in 1826, but passed away at a relatively young age of 68. Dr. Brougher had four children, all lived to be at least 77. The youngest two lived to be 96 (Corinna, d.1994) and 101 (James Jr., d.2003).

Did you hear the one about the centenerian who made it to heaven and upon entering the celestial city stood there in awe and utter amazement at the wonder and the beauty of it all. St. Peter approached him and says, "Pretty impressive isn't it? "I'll say!" says the old man. "And to think that I could have been here 20 years earlier if my wife hadn't put me on that organic food diet."

@bobcrestwood740 6 жыл бұрын

Groucho could play both sides of comedy. If you watch the Marx Brothers movies, there were many scenes in which Groucho played the straight man to Chico or Harpo, as well as many scenes in which he was cracking the jokes himself.

@jazzmanchgo 6 жыл бұрын

Groucho was one of the great straight men -- look at his routines with Chico. One of the few straight men who was funny at the same time. (Gleason was another.)

When I said straight man, I meant the half that sets up the jokes and does the responses while the other does the storytelling.

Its amazing how witty Groucho Marks was. He could throw out those funny lines so fast its incredible. I never realized that till now. Who would ever imagine that something so terrible was going to happen to Rocky Marciano later on . I believe he was killed in a plane crash. I was a little girl when this TV show was on the air. Nice to see Rocky's mom. Very interesting episode.
