I remember watching this on our old b&w TV in 1958 and here I am 60 years later watching it on the internet. We even liked Groucho when we were kids.

My great-great grandfather was the oldest man in Oklahoma in the mid-1950s. He was born in 1852 and died in 1958, so pretty similar to Mr. Carter here. He was a farmer and worked very hard on his property. He didn't have electricity or running water until he was around 100 years old!

I did some research on "Pop" Carter, he was just blessed to come from a family of supreme genetics. His mother lived to be 109, his father lived to be 116, and his mother's father lived to the ripe ol' age of 121, you won't see this type of family life longevity too much anymore...

I watched these episodes in college in California in 1974. The episodes were only 20 years old then now there 60 to 70 years old. Time marches on.

Dude 102 16 children and still standing tall and healthy, absolute champion

I was born in the 1950's and enjoyed watching Groucho then and still think these old shows with Groucho are still every bit as funny today!

“That’s not what we sell. We sell tires “ should’ve gotten a way bigger laugh.

Groucho was probably one of the funniest men ever. Very dry & clever. 👍👍

The old gent was 20 years old when Custer fought his last battle..

Groucho: "Do you drink?" Pop Carter: "You set it in front of me and find out!"

I have watched these shows and have come to the conclusion that Groucho must have been a genius +, his speed of thought and wit, no matter what the subject was, is greased lightning, and he had that lovely rhythm in his voice, no one today comes remotely close to his supernatural talent, an absolute privilege to watch. ENGLISH PETE.

The old gent didn't recognize any songs from the 1950's. Now had the songs been from the 1850's...

Imagine being a 102 and that active and alert? Amazing!

That's crazy - that dude was around when Lincoln was President. He was born before Billy the Kid was. I would have loved to have talked to him.

The old man is impressive as hell, and the "Boom Boom Girl," good lord she was a beauty. Damn. I remember "Mark C. Bloom Tires" from when I was a kid.

On a Letterman show, Letterman said that people from the audience should be guests. He never did it, but this is as close as any show has gotten and it’s quite good. This was way before my time, but it’s better then most game shows or late night shows you see because the average folk are more interesting than the boring stars. And that old man was the best!

Otto ('Pop') Carter, who was born behind the stage where his parents did a dance act, in San Antonio, Texas in 1856, celebrated his 107th at the Gardena roller-skating rink where he worked. His parents were entertainers--toe-dancers. They did a vaudeville act as The Carter Family. His mother lived to 109 and his father to 116. His mother's father lived to 121. Otto and his wife (who died in 1943) and were married on roller skates in 1875 in Indianapolis. They had sixteen children--nine boys and seven girls--with six sets of twins in the bunch. As at 1963 they were all living 'so far as I knew', and there were then 69 grandchildren, 39 great-grandchildren and 19 great-great-grandchildren. Otto, his wife and all their children toured the United States and Europe doing a skating act. After vaudeville, they toured rinks doing exhibitions. A lot of their act was acrobatic, like barrel jumping. For eight years prior to 1963 Otto had a Job as skate checker at the Rollerama,

I was born in 1946 and I remember watching this show. So glad we have YOU TUBE

Brilliant chat with the 102 year old.

Pop Carter....they certainly don't make em like him anymore!!!! Wow

The serviceman with the Australian war bride: "I liked my wife because she was good looking and she was there..." Groucho: "You don't have to go any furher."

I love the interaction!! "When was the last time you kissed a girl this lovely?" "Last night!!"

I am ‘addicted’ to You Bet Your Life. I like the format, and the guests👀

What a beautiful girl!.........Groucho brilliant as always.

Awesome! That little old man was great!

When the pretty girl was doing her thing I felt sorry for the little old man whom I thought would be a bore, but that little old man upstaged the girl AND Groucho too.

Hey I'm still in my 20s and I only knew of Groucho Marx from hearing Gilbert Gottfried and Howard Stern talk about him. And I love this show. I've been watching a lot of your uploads.

That girl is awesomely beautiful.

Loved hearing Groucho sing that song.♡ VERY impressive. ♡

Groucho was the BEST ! A true GENIUS ! ! A true AMERICAN ORIGINAL ! ! !

As a cigar smoker, I just love watching these guys smoke cigars and blow their smoke in the guest's faces ON TV!

I am very grateful to the uploader for these outstanding videos. Groucho Marx was certainly one of a kind.

They really knew their history back then. Tough questions.

This was so funny. Groucho is funny, but that Bob Carter is also hilarious!

I was just 2 days old when this aired originally. I remember it fondly.

Great shows! Can't stop watching.

This old man is a hoot he's a definite livewire

First guy served in the 5th airforce in ww2 and earned the silver star.

Look at Groucho's expression at 7:31,LOL. his cigar would have fell out of his mouth...LOL. Captivating girl. I need a time machine.

On a scale of 1 to 10, this at least a 10. So much packed in this episode, unbelievable. Thanks again for sharing.

He was 9 years old when Lincoln was assassinated

i've always enjoyed over the years. i was a little kid when they came out, then reruns in the 70's and 80's and now on you tube, luv it.

This was wonderful - thanks for posting

When I was a little girl, the morning show used to always mention anyone who turned 100. When their birthday celebration was filmed, they were generally like something that died and was propped up, drooling and unaware in their wheelchair. Yet there was that old guy, some years before, looking maybe seventy and very lean and fit. Then I read about his family background--absolutely amazing!

Fantastic! What a classic Tv show...Groucho and real eclectic guests UNBEATABLE!!!

★ 13:08 This man, Otto "Pop" Carter, was born BEFORE the United States Civil War! He was born in 1858 and the Civil War started in 1861. Imagine if during the civil war someone would have told this guy "Some day there will be a thing called TV, it's like a photograph, only it's animated and it's live and it's in everyone's houses and there will be TV shows and you will be on one of these shows and people all over America will be watching you at the same time. Also, the moving pictures of you will be saved, and in the year 2016, over 40 thousand people will watch you again, on a thing called the internet. Many of those viewers will be watching you while they are flying, driving or laying in bed on their telephones. Oh, also, there will be a guy who took an interest in you and looked up event that happened in the year of your birth, and other people read what he wrote about you and they thumbed up his comment and subscribed to him (hint hint, lol) and now you have a bit of immortality Bob. These are some of the things that happened in the year he was born; Minnesota became the 32nd U.S. state, Dallas became a city (incorporated) in Texas, the Treaty of Paris is signed which ended the Crimean War, Lawrence, Kansas is captured and burned by pro-slavery forces, The Great Train Wreck (the worst railroad disaster in the world to date) occurs in Pennsylvania, Democrat James Buchanan becomes the 15th President of the United States defeating the new fledgling political party called "Republicans", Kate Warne, the first female private detective, begins to work for the Pinkerton Detective Agency, Sigmund Freud and Nikola Tesla are born along with Woodrow Wilson who will become the 28th President of the United States, and finally, the British Guiana 1 cent magenta postage stamp is issued. There is only one left and it happens to be the world's rarest stamp. I would have loved to have been able to speak with Pop and photograph him. But when did Otto "Pop Carter die? I know he lived to be at least 106 however I can find no mention of his death anywhere.

He looks AMAZING for 102. Wow....

I had no idea that Groucho could sing -- and pretty good too.

How stunningly beautiful is the blonde lady. I was born in the wrong era.😭

Boom Boom is gorgeous. Her look would fit in perfectly in today's world.

i have to say that old guy really impressed me. and it blows my mind that your looking at someone alive during the civil war on a television show... be hard pressed to even find someone alive during WW1 now

I got 2 right!! That was hysterical! I loved the 102 year old! I take care of a 102 year old and she’s amazing too!

my grandmother from Calabria looked very much like her....very beautiful

That was when America was great!! A fabulous comedian The best Grouch and Marx brothers

I wanna go back in time and ask out , The Boom - Boom Girl ❤

Lari Laine was the pseudonym briefly used by Corinne Cole (born Corinne Elaine Kegley on April 13, 1937 in Brentwood, California), who is an American model and actress; she predominantly used her stage name in her acting career, however, after around 1959. She is 82 years old now.

Lived till he was 107

His youngest was born in 1922 he was 66 when he was born pop was a busy guy

This guy is 102 and walking, standing, talking coherently...its crazy how we’re “advanced” today, but extremely few of us get to 90, and especially not in the mental and physical condition hes in 😳

Groucho was a master wit...

I liked when Pop said "I'm a man ".

Bet Bob had many stories to tell. What a great guy, incredible. Perhaps one of his great great grandchildren, may live 200 years. Wishh I was one.Bet he had his eyes on BOOM BOOM, and could have even more children. she banged my drum. Pheww.

Love Groucho & his interaction with beautiful female contestants! This one is priceless! 🥰

"When was the last time you kissed a pretty girl like Boom Boom". I fell off my chair with his answer. 18:08

Thanks for upload. Very interesting with both Boom Boom and Old pop

Mark C. Bloome tires sponsored some local TV show back then in LA. That Lari Lane was certainly a lovely girl. Hope she is still with us.

At the age 104, participated in the Southwest Pacific Roller Skating Championships and the Rollerama Show in 1960. An avid roller skater for approximately 100 years. He and his wife were married on skates and later toured the country in a roller skating act.

Pop Carter is amazing! The answer “last night” was crazy funny!

have not heard " this is the land of opportunity" in a long time.

I guess I’m a dinosaur, I watched You Bet Your Life on TV.

I lived with my grandfather when I was young, he was born 1860.

No flies on Mr. Carter; he’s a hoot! The Boom Boom girl was very nice. They were a lovely couple.

I’d rather watch these old episodes all night instead of watching the modern debauchery on tv!

18:17-18:18, you see Groucho laugh his ass off. I have never seen Groucho laugh. Those 2 seconds are historic.

Bob "I'M STILL A MAN" Carter 💯👍 Groucho asked Bob "When was the last time you kissed a girl as lovely as the Boom Boom girl next to you ?" Mr Carter exclaims to Groucho's and the audience delight " LAST NIGHT AND I STILL SAY I'M A MAN !!" WOW 😁🤩😎

7 years old when the Battle of Gettysburg took place. Talk about a walking encyclopedia.

Ms. Lane....WOW! breathtaking, beautiful creature.

Pop's health issues (lol) didn't give him longevity, it was his wit and humor. Not often Groucho got upstaged.

Never let a funny bone turn to stone But if you do you will not be all alone To sadness and grief people are prone If in this zone call a friend on the phone If you lost all your friends stand alone

I clicked on for groucho, checked out boom boom and stayed for Otto!

Wow 102!!?? I would have guessed 70!! Amazing!!!

I knew all the songs but did not recognize them when the orchestra played them.

10 out of ten show ...love it

Many actresses of my acquaintance were wrestlers..., they became wrestlers when they made my acquaintance...

Groucho was one of a kind!

hahah Groucho with the best quips " After talkin to Boom boom ,I'm 102" lol

102 in 1958 wow.

Lari Laine was Playboy Playmate of the month May 1958.

102 years old in 1958! That would be like someone being 110-115 nowadays. Over 100 was almost unheard of back then, let alone healthy enough to appear on a game show.

I love watching this show I laugh and smile it's a fun show that we don't see anymore

If Groucho was on Late Night TV today, he'd have more viewers than all those other poser's audiences added together.

My father liked him because he didnt chew gum or spit on the table...😂

This so beautiful 🤩🤩

this lady is 80 (2017) and lives in a nice part of LA (brentwood). married 3 times.

Awesome episode!!!

The lady from Italy is funny and interesting."Get out of the kitchen and rattle those pots and pans!"

I loved the women's hairdos back then , very sexy and feminine. Bring them back ladies !!!

pop carter was born 1856

He says to the blonde ”your voice hasn’t changed but everything else has”. Groucho was the best

I had quite a few centenarians as clients. Two were in the same health facility. One lived tob113, the other wasb112, two were 105, one 102. The oldest, 113 did everything for herself in her room. I asked her how did she live so long, she said I never got married or had any children. Lol! The112 year old outlived two wives and all his children, they were in their 70's and 80's.
