Gonzalez Gonzalez and Groucho: Classic (You Bet Your Life)

Full clip.

[@TheTerryGene]

John Wayne saw Pedro Gonzalez-Gonzalez on this and signed him to a personal contract, casting him in “The High and the Mighty” and “Rio Bravo.” The guy was a natural performer.

[@rabbi120348]

Guy upstages Groucho Marx -- that's pretty hard to do!

[@jaymorgenthal9479]

Watching him opposite Jack Palance in “ I died a thousand times”.

[@1621billw]

I never saw him in "The High and the Mighty", but he's great in "Rio Bravo"

[@dmanz1332]

Roflmao

[@w6467]

​@@jaymorgenthal9479that movie was just on TCM today which is what brought me to this KZbin video

[@billys5974]

I just love this. Watch it regularly. Greetings from Worcester UK.

[@henningandersen9027]

Made Groucho laugh heartily - as one of the very few!

[@azurephoenix9546]

Groucho was one the funniest men alive and always loved to be the center of the stage, but appreciative enough of good comedy to let someone else upstage him and take the spotlight because he was just that funny.

[@victorgallegos896]

Pedro estold the show

[@henningandersen9027]

Seen it hundreds of times - am still LOL!

[@relatosymemorias9516]

What a young man with great talent. To bad America was not ready for people like him at that time.

[@margaretcole3244]

People loved him. I remember watching him in movies often. He probably got harassed off set.the times were tough for non-whites then. We've come a long way since then. My People weren't prejudice. So I might have a different perspective than others.

[@4EyedAnimation]

are you intentionally dim

[@bravehome4276]

Pedro is like a Latin Buster Keaton -- master of the deadpan!

[@patfromamboy]

That’s exactly what I thought too when I saw him. I’m a big Buster Keaton fan and think people are much funnier when they keep a straight face like he did. Adam Sandler is terrible because he always has a smirk or smile and can’t keep a straight face. I worked with a guy who always looks very serious so we try to make each other smile. He’s a very funny person and part of it is because of his deadpan look.

[@padroneoso]

Groucho meets his match in Gonzalez Gonzalez. Timeless comedy from two marvelous, beloved entertainers.

[@yUm666]

He looked instantly familiar and then I remembered (from his voice) that Gonzales-Gonzales appeared in one Bonanza episode called El Toro Grande.

[@Cleftonefan]

R.I.P. I still remember seeing that episode. Hilarious.

[@larrysorenson4789]

Gonzales Gonzales is so innocent, natural and just a good man. Groucho scored big that night. And so did Gonzales Gonzales.

[@marypettyfer4640]

Fabulous what a talent.

[@vincentvega2244]

Still love it!!!!

[@MJ-dq8ik]

Gonzalez Gonzalez became a terrific character actor & his grandson is a terrific actor too - Clifton Collins Jr (CAPOTE, BABEL, TRAFFIC, 187, etc.)

[@robinbittel9420]

Beautiful story. Pedro lived a long life with a long marriage and left a wonderful legacy.

[@VillemarMxO]

You've just made my appreciation of Cliff Collins even greater! He's a brilliant character actor.

[@coporal4]

Very talented. Thank you for sharing your life. I have watched you in a lot of movies God Bless

[@Inquisition-BlackMetal]

I have a good sense of humor myself, but this man is and always will be awesome. Good chemistry act, Gonzales Gonzalez is that good! Huge Marx brothers fan as well

[@henningandersen9027]

Wonder if his pokerface hides that he knows how funny he is?

[@freddyfurrah3789]

The funniest contestant on You Bet Your Life.

[@edmondscott7444]

Marvellous Pedro.

[@CountryZorro]

Pedro was a fantastic talent . 😮

[@steved8053]

Priceless

[@davidmarr8293]

Classic!

[@hypermiler12314]

" Two people in the act and i get third place " Groucho Marx

[@henningandersen9027]

Actually he might have learnt the "good look" from Groucho by watching his movies.

[@kennethwolcott2855]

When she guessed Idaho, I thought he would say "Idaho either, so let's just guess." Groucho was probably thinking it though.

[@garfieldsmith332]

Pedro OWNED Marx on this episode of the show.

[@nealsims8372]

How did the not know sodom and gomorrah????

[@journeymanproject1756]

Anyone not raised Roman Catholic would have missed that question. Source: I’m an atheist. I would have missed it myself.

[@njmcd]

Although not practicing now, I was raised Catholic. I knew the answer immediately.

[@nandofigueira2005]

At certain points Groucho seemed a little uncomfortable because González was stealing the show, a down-to-earth comedian, he was brilliant.

[@larchmontmark1]

Pedro's deadpan is what made this. He was a real-life "Jose Jimenez." (Unless his thing was an act too!!) P.S. Here's "Jose": kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3Wwgn2qgMaLqq8

[@MrWupass]

Pedro was a true song and dance man, started entertaining at the young age of 7,. With no schooling he was always embarrassed about his accent as he was born in San Antoine. He filmed YBYL in Jan, of 1953. This attempted or inspired copy skit referenced Ben Hurr which was made in 1959.

[@dennishalford5763]

@@MrWupass Most Americans can't speak a second language, so he had nothing to be embarrassed about!

[@charleswinokoor6023]

“Not too much, I gotta buy beans tomorrow.” It’s tough to tell who’s the straight man here. They’re both funny. And early on Groucho really cracked up and laughed, which in itself was pretty unusual. But I can’t believe the two contestants couldn’t come up with the final answer which was Gomorrah. Sodom and Gomorrah! C’mon kids.

[@henningandersen9027]

Sodoma an Gomorrah - kids' stuff!
