Groucho Marx asks Pedro Gonzalez Gonzalez about marriage.m4v

Groucho asks Grandpa about getting married so young on his show YOU BET YOUR LIFE.

[@genehopkins8080]

Actually remember seeing him as contestant on the show. Dad laughed harder than me. Then I saw him on Rio Bravo. His performance on You Bet Your Life was seen and made him a star. Recently found out one of my most favorite actors, Clifton Collins Jr. is his grandson. Wow! Blown away and really made my day. Also very much enjoyed seeing Pedro's brother in movies. Good bloodline, Clifton.

[@cliftoncollinsjr]

Im here to tell you that it is a very true story, I grew up listening and laughing to it! grandpa was a true riot ! thanks for that !

[@porfiriojohn5276]

4 - 24 - 21 I love watching your work . I think you are one of the greatest actors out there .

[@itsaguinness]

You have that natural talent Clifton just like your grandpa! Thank you for sharing! Your grandpa seemed to be one of the few people that made Groucho laugh and caught him off guard!

[@henningandersen9027]

Wow - please tell. Was he indeliberately funny or just having a poker-face ?

[@blueskye6372]

Bless you and your grandpa in heaven. 🙏👏🎉📽️📺

[@DarthTwilight]

Mad respect.

[@phil2u48]

Clifton, I remember your grandfather so well. He was absolutely charming and never took himself too seriously. You must be very proud.

[@cliftoncollinsjr]

makes me happy that you get those positive feelings from something my grandfather did in 53', have a blessed day!

[@ramsesgonzalez3433]

Clifton Collins, Jr. Pedro Gonzlalez Gonzalez de la Gonzalera!!

[@blueskye6372]

Wonderful. 1953 also the year I was born. 👌✌️☺️

[@JackRascal]

What a terrific comic talent your grandfather was.

[@fjhoustoncats]

Clifton, we've been entertained by you and your family for many years. Thank you for sharing this clip!

[@Big_Diehl]

I grew up in Willcox Arizona, and he'd always show up it seemed like for our school right at Rex Allen Days... He was the best part of those assemblies.

[@mkilgore81]

Pedro Gonzalez Gonzalez an unforgettable experience. We need more Pedros to lighten our lives. Absolute"is the word for him. Absolute...

[@LenHummelChannel]

Wow ! That was your grandpa ? ! He was a HUGE hit on that Show. You can tell that Groucho loved his little act. Just GREAT !

[@cliftoncollinsjr]

You rock! Thats too sweet, thank you! Its always a real joy to be able to share the laughter that I grew up with in my family, now you to are laughing and smiling! ;)

[@markwaltz3307]

Pedro first came to my attention in a western called "Wings of the Hawk" starring Van Heflin and Julie Adams. I was curious about Pedro because his character was so sweet and charming, and the acting was so natural. I've met many people like this of different races, and when you really get to know them, you simply just see them as another human being, and sitting and talking with them you realize how much we as a human race have in common: the desire to bond with others, make each other laugh, and really touch the soul. This type of comedy is a gift because it is filled with heart. I could imagine him sitting on his porch and entertaining all the kids just like some of the other older men and women I've met whose spirits still live long after they are gone from our earth.

[@blueskye6372]

@Mark. Very nice post. 🙂💜✌️

[@ljc3484]

You look so much like your grandfather! And his comedic timing is excellent. I’m happy he supported your career choice.

[@cyclingtj]

I remember seeing a rerun of this as a kid. I said; "Dad, that's Carlos from Rio Bravo!!!" He had us both laughing hard watching this. When you can stand toe to toe with Groucho you know you're good.

[@cliftoncollinsjr]

That was too sweet man, Gramps always spoke fondly of Groucho, they remained friends til the end...thank u!

[@2manyhobbies971]

I just saw this the other day for the first time. Wow is he good. I love the look after “9 years”.

[@mendelssohnrhino8287]

Thanks for posting this - it's a real treat!

[@EmSea8]

Aww.. Such a sweet video of your Grandpa,and the fact he met his love in here in San Antonio, beautiful..🥰🥰 Always a fan, and enjoy your work Clifton!!

[@jkbish1]

best job interview ever

[@arbuckle123]

He was also in "The Sheepman" with Glenn Ford, if I'm not mistaken. He was fantastic. And Groucho knew exactly how to interview him to show all his talent. Two great pros at work.

[@edmondscott7444]

Marvellous.

[@padroneoso]

There's never been anyone like, or better than, the great, beloved comic treasure Pedro Gonzalez Gonzalez.

[@UnbentUnbroken]

So funny!!! And his dancing is amazing. Really talented people! Mexico has some great comedians under it's wing. Greetings from Argentina!

[@cliftoncollinsjr]

Thanks for that, but he's actually, as he himself would say, a "son of San Antoine! " , in a short, a proud Texan ! :)

[@lindar5413]

He was hilarious

[@cliftoncollinsjr]

He was born in 1925 and started doing comedy in 1932, that's right, that means he would have been 7 years old. One of the reasons he couldn't read. Was always out performing to make money to feed his 9 brothers and sister, who were also part of the entertainment troupe.

[@lindaisaac8119]

This is great. So funny and he went on to become an actor in many movies. Small parts but memorable.

[@LKH321]

Thank you so much for telling me about this video, Clifton. I couldn't wait to get home and see it after speaking with you tonight. Absolutely classic! Such a natural talent that obviously runs in your family. Next: Rio Grande!

[@fosbury68]

Groucho clearly admiring a fellow pro.

[@MBrooks88]

Hi Primo - I am sorry we haven't met but we share a Tia (Virginia) and many other Garcia/Gonzalez relatives in San Antonio. Thanks for posting these. Pete Haney brought some clips to the last Garcia reunion and we all belly laughed! It's so wonderful the family had an impact on early Mex-Am theater with La Carpa Garcia and later, TV/film with Pedro's great work and of course your stellar career in Hollywood! I applaud your efforts to revere and advance Hispanics in film! --Monica Garcia Brooks

[@keithmoyer9242]

Dude,,,, this is so classic!! Two Brilliant Playas!!

[@irmaromo1635]

I would give anything to have sit next to him and hear his life stories. Man Clifton u should do some tube on some of his stories I know I would love to hear them

[@cliftoncollinsjr]

too sweet, yes, Glenn Ford as well as Marx were very fond of grandpa. thank u!

[@mystery10man]

America needs more men like your grandfather. I always liked him in the movie. This clip had me laughing my butt off. He reminds me of the spanish version of Don Knotts. Same nervous mannerisms and yet not breaking out laughing when bringing down the house.

[@julienguyen784]

Thanks for sharing this video. He was very talented.

[@arew234]

Cliff, your Grandpa's appearance was probably THE most remembered appearance by ANYONE in all the years of this long-lived program. I remember hearing The Duke talk about him with fondness a long time ago. Is it true he started with one house and ended up owning the entire neighborhood?

[@cliftoncollinsjr]

@ciao4689 it's fans like yourself that makes what we do all worth while. Thank you for making me smile and warming my heart with that one! Have a great holliday!

[@KantManageEnt]

Your Grandpa was a funny, funny man! It's easy to see where your humor comes from.

[@jencartertsimpris253]

Delightful! I love him! ❤

[@datagal36]

Wow, that was so unexpected! I loved that humor. Reminds me of my dad.

[@markgunns]

Pedro Gonzalez Gonzalez was great! Luv him in Rio Bravo 😊

[@ScoutSniper3124]

NEVER underestimate the power of those "Good Looks" and "Another Good Look". That's how I met and fell in love with my wife too!

[@Starswake]

Ha I've never seen this clip before, he cracked me up. 😂 What a great dance 😀

[@davidxrod]

This is the funniest episode of the enttire show's run

[@adamarriola7305]

I am of big fan of Clifton, grew up watching 187 and his grandfather was extremely talented at such an early time!!!

[@30mmRebel]

Man that is hilarious. I believe it's good acting too because he looked like he was kind of nervous and innocent . I know he was putting on the show. A good one. Talented Family.

[@frederickburke9944]

I was watching a Daffy Duck cartoon from 1966 titled A Taste of Catnip and immediately recognized Pedro's voice as the doctor. I only knew him from Rio Bravo but he was unmistakable.

[@alohaoy]

Fabulous!

[@ksteiger]

Wow, he was really your grandfather, huh?? How cool to have these clips. FANTASTIC!!!

[@ksteiger]

Just did the research and now I realize I saw him many times over the years, GREAT!

[@sjfarrell1981]

Loved it!! The look he did at 0:27 is sort of the same look my husband does and we've only been married for 7 years.

[@qultng1]

You look exactly like him!!! That was so awesome! Would love to see you dance like that sometime. Thanks for posting. :)

[@blueskye6372]

Hilarious 😂

[@angelinajoanie]

impeccable comedy timing😂

[@supermana35]

Siempre he admirado, como una persona se adapta a un lugar, como le hace para hablar un ingles tan fluido? , saludos

[@sylviagarcia209]

Hello Cousin. Pedro and my Dad were 1st cousins. Always wanted to meet him but I was so young. The Gonzales family is very talented and goes back to our Great Grandfather Soledad and his circus entertainment days. Abilene TX and San Antonio true!!! Hope we meet one day. Stay cool cuz.

[@OldDunc]

I'd have married him! What a total sweetheart.

[@JamesKirkWilkinson]

This is hilarious!

[@adlouxo]

Lovin it brother!

[@cliftoncollinsjr]

@Molonca too sweet thank you !

[@1CrazyRyRy]

OMG Clifton your Grandpa Pedro is so funny! :) No wonder you are such a great actor!!!

[@littlemissmello]

i like your grandpa! aaaaand i would have given everything to have my grandpa meet groucho so i could go like; yay that's my grandpa groucho is making fun off -because that's what groucho did; making fun of people without ever really offending anyone.. what an amazing man :D

[@SecsSells]

I read somewhere this guy was a Mexican Comic in the 50's.

[@jaredjackieb]

Pedro Gonzalez Gonzalez was in Rio Bravo with John Wayne, Dean Martin, Walter Brennan, John Russell and Ricky Nelson too. He was Carlos the hotel owner.

[@ciao4689]

You know, when I first saw you in a film I thought you looked familar and now I know why. I also think its kind of funny because I used to watch all these movies with your grandpa like rio bravo and the high and the mighty with my grandpa as a kid, now I'm watching movies with my own family that star you.

[@aloisemason3044]

Pedro is very valient..

[@shaygodbey2959]

I see da resemblance. .187 my favroiy movie..much respect carnal

[@drchunkybiscuit9973]

He did this & then the great John Wayne drove straight down to the studio & signed him up. After that, he was in loads of movies with Mr Wayne!

[@henningandersen9027]

Groucho should have given him orchestra-accompaniment and let him sing it fully .

[@ciao4689]

@cliftoncollinsjr Thank you so much! I hope you have a great holiday as well!

[@UnbentUnbroken]

Wow, that's gret info to have. This is awesome :D

[@calamardoguapo5662]

Sería fantástico que pudieran subtitularlo al español

[@DarthTwilight]

This man was impressively funny.

[@mimsmax5594]

hey, i just saw PGG in an episode of I dream of Jeannie. They were doing a tribute to recently deceased Larry Hagman/ Major Nelson & his next door neighbor was Pedro on a riding lawnmower that didn't work. Mjr Nelson had Jeannie's power for a day & told Pedro his lawnmower would be faster than a car. You guessed it,Pedro is riding the lawnmower at blistering speeds[film speed up] thru fences, bushes, sidewalk &ppl jumping out the way,went over a open manhole cover & sucked off a workers toupee!

[@cliftoncollinsjr]

@arew234 haha, wow, yes that is pratically true. Owned a whole block w apartments on it, and two houses across the street form his own hom ein Culver city. Thank u so much for that message ! Did u work w Duke ?

[@NightwingReturns]

Turtle, this is awesome!

[@ExMachina70]

"I'm afraid to ask his next question." Seriously, I'm 52 now in 2023 can no one even laugh at this?

[@cliftoncollinsjr]

@SlovakSpazz he didn't teach me those moves, but he did get me and my cousin tap dancing at the age of 7. Check out DEEZ BLUES video I also shot n directed. Theres a lil hoofing in that, but nothing like grandpa! Thanks for that !

[@boyinthedrain]

What a badass!

[@LKH321]

Duh! "Rio Bravo." Pay no attention to the chick behind the curtain...:)

[@patrincon1693]

His wife had my maiden name

[@abrahamquiles5708]

very funny! and I can totally see the resemblance between you two!

[@donaldetomas4651]

Real funny

[@TryTheBLT]

@LEIMALOCCA Actually if you watch the entire segment with Mr. Gonzalez we see Groucho laugh at least twice. The entire thing is on KZbin at /watch?v=C0mucg6nN_g

[@tommyvictorbuch6960]

Viva México cabrones!

[@rickroscoe4734]

I guess the politically correct would say laughing at Pedro G-G was racist, but hey, the guy was just a funny comedian.

[@TransitInsider]

Well, if his grandson Clifton isn't objecting, who cares what the rest of the world thinks?

[@LEIMALOCCA]

wow Groucho didnt even laugh once! lmao

[@meanwiddlekid]

Yo soy Jose Jimenez.

[@cliftoncollinsjr]

@sjfarrell1981 hahaha sweet !
