An old story I once heard from a friend was that when the Marx Brothers were doing stage work in vaudeville Grouch entered the stage from the wings carrying a small suitcase. “What are you doing?” Chico asked. “I’m taking this case to court.” Next Groucho entered from the opposite wing carrying a small step latter. “What now?” he was asked. “I’m taking the case to a higher court.” The third time, he came across the stage carrying an empty clothes hanger. “Well, I lost the suit."

Fantastic! Groucho was one of the greatest comedians who's ever lived. Cavett was a great interviewer because he understood his job was to prompt, not participate. And I'm so happy that he allowed Groucho to hold court. Anyone else so used to the tropes of television that only having one chair by the desk looks really odd?

I was thinking he should've taught a class on comedy and philosophy, and how to use it in any arena, even negotiation I feel that's what he managed to combine so brilliantly and so few understood, like Dumont and the censors then. Then keeping those classes on film to be taught in universities today to everyone, not just comics. Groucho was so much more than that

He was exceptionally good, when he could connect with his guest...however, he could be awkward, if he was not comfortable with the guest. My hero, Jimi Hendrix, was interviewed by Cavett...both men seemed a little befuddled with each other, yet he did eventually allow Jimi to say a few interesting and even funny , things. By the end of the interview, they had warmed to each other.

Dick Cavett was so humble and giving in this interview. He gladly played second fiddle to a legend and we have this fabulous video today thanks to him. I always loved the Marx Brothers but Harpo was my favorite as a kid. As a got older I really appreciated Groucho and all that he brought to the table. I made my kids watch their movies, along with Laurel and Hardy, Abbott and Costello, etc., etc. and they still thank me to this day. These were wonderful, multi-talented people that probably wouldn't fit the "image" promoted as so-called "stars" today.

Groucho reminds me of my grandfather. My grandpa was quick witted and all my friend loved him. He was so funny, he had a surgery and they put him under. Me and my girlfriend at the time were in the room waiting for him to wake up. The first thing he did when he woke up was look at us opened his arms and I went to give him a hug, he turned and said “ Not you, her! He would tell my girlfriends that after they see him they always throw rocks at me. I miss him.

He called it a one horse town, which was true and still is. Except w/o the horse. What a treasure Groucho was, truly special , one of a kind. ''Thank YO!'' Love that line.

Dick, you asked me where I was in September, 1969. My mother had just remarried. Our new family moved to a new city. A big displacement for any kid. On TV was a show, hosted by Hal Stanton, that featured the greats from that era: the Marx brothers, Laurel and Hardy, W.C. Fields, etc. It was a difficult period in my life, but watching these guys made a huge impression on me, gave me solace that can't ever be replaced. Still, today, it doesn't get old. Thanks!

I remember as a kid seeing a Marx Brothers movie on one Sunday afternoon in the '70s (this was back in the old days when we had three broadcast stations to pick up plus PBS) and I was hooked. Their humor operated like the Warner Bros. cartoons on multiple levels so it would appeal to both kids and grownups.

No swear words is not necessarily a good thing as you are operating with less than 100 percent of the linguistic tool box, When the context of the story requires something stronger and using milder language lessens the impact or authenticity and ultimately makes the joke less funny.

@@genepoole1771 I see where you’re coming from about emphasis but comedians have to realise most of the time children are watching it’s much more inviting for children to be able to watch things with there parents and family bond instead of thinking of the next time they have to turn down the tv because the comedian can’t be funny without swearing and in fact loads of comedians of this era was extremely funny without needing to extend to vulgarity just shows how desensitised the public is to bad behaviour that it’s not considered funny without it compared to there era when being respectful was everything.

Much like the body, the brain ages too. It's not to say that you're any less smart, but your ability to process information is certainly affected. Quit being obtuse, I'm complimenting the man who is well deserving of his legacy.

Who's having a meltdown? I merely explained the purpose of my post and expressed that, in fact, I did not imply any disrespect to people of advanced age. I thought my explanation was very calm and collected, so I'm not sure why would have interpreted that is some kind of emotional outburst. That being said, unless you are him, then you and I can only guess at his thought and intentions. You have no idea whether it was a "light hearted jest" as you believe. It certainly could have been meant to be serious. I'm just covering all of my bases here.

“I don’t belong in this world” says Groucho in 1969! I’m about to turn 64, and I know what he means! I come from the old “analog” world, and don’t feel I fit into this “digital” and “smart phone” world. I’m sooo glad that I’m old enough to have shared the world with these master builders of American culture! In the late 50’s and thru to the late 70’s, these first generation Hollywood/TV people chiseled bare stone into a culture/society that dominated the globe. The “American century” is drawing to a close, if it’s not already over. The centre of influence has shifted from North America/Europe, to the “Far East”. It’s become embarrassing to compare American infrastructure with the public services and transportation in a place like Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, etc! RIP, Groucho! I will never, ever forget you and your brothers! You bring me as much joy now, as you did when I was a little boy at the beginning of the 60’s. Peace

+typhoon We all had carefree childhoods and had a crush on our teachers. But that has nothing to do with how society is in general. During the first half of the 20th century there were two huge global wars, Korean war, Vietnam war, and millions of people got killed. there was the depression, revolutions, and chaos all over the world. Not to mention how they scared people during the cold war, and there were considerable number of violent crimes back then. I don't think back then society was in a 'better' condition than now. The only better thing back then had was that there wasn't any overpopulation problem as we have today, maybe because people kept killing each other in the wars and there were no antibiotics. But there are too many damn narcissistic asshole people now a days, so there are too many more criminals and crazies too. More people so more violence. But people back then were highly violent too, not to mention how students bullied each other. Women couldn't vote or even own a property. Another good thing in the past was that they didn't have all these electronic devices, so people were not monitored by the gov so much as we're being watched from all directions. But the history of mankind is filled with millions of violence. Human being is a violent beast, even much more violent than animals.
