Groucho made more money later in his life, and actually had Alice Cooper to thank for that. Alice and his manager Sheb Woolley came to Groucho’s home and Groucho was talking about how he never made much money. Sheb offered to look at his finances and quickly found Groucho was owed millions and had uncashed checks sitting in a drawer.

Surely Groucho wouldn’t have cared if he knew those cheques were lying around somewhere

Notice the manners of this man, as he starts to tell the story, he remembers that Debbie Reynolds is sitting next to him and feels it would be rude to have his back to her and tell the entire story to Dick. He makes an obvious effort to address them both, it's something small but it's a reflection of the man and his awareness of others and that makes a deep impact on me. That kind of old world sensibility is something that is sorely lacking these days.

Funny that Groucho got Harpo's age wrong at the time of his marriage. He was 48, not 37.

@@alittlebitoflight I believe this appearance was in late 1971. It is either the last or among the last sit-downs he participated in. Although perfectly lucid, Groucho, by then, had suffered the first of several minor (and later not so minor) strokes. Clearly no objective viewer could have seriously questioned his sobriety. It was the same Groucho--- but at maybe 31or 32 rpm. Or A-flat instead of A.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge (sincerely). You're obviously a proper fan, in the very best sense.
