The rapport between Groucho and Dick Cavett is amazing. Dick Cavett held his own and he shows such revere for him. Watching this 1970 episode as 2023 is here.

Yes, the great events and changes that occurred during Groucho's seventy years in show business are truly staggering to ponder, especially when one realizes he began his stage career in 1905, a time when the motor car was a just rich man's plaything and the average life expectancy of an American was considerably less than fifty, working non-stop through nearly eight-full decades of the twentieth century before taking his final bow in 1977, eight years after the Moon Landing and Woodstock. In the years encompassing his very long career as an entertainer two world wars were fought, Henry Ford's Model T convinced the world of the benefits of the auto, radio and television were invented, 12 U.S. Presidents came and went, the Atom Bomb was conjured into existence, space travel made possible, 2 Red Scares swept the nation, polio cured, Jim Crow segregation outlawed, the jet engine brought nearly every corner of the globe to within a day's journey by plane, and the Sun finally set on the British Empire. And this is far from an exhaustive list of the incredible things to happen during Groucho's life as a performer!

Groucho was awesome all the way till he passed away. When each Marx brothers passed away the world lost a great man and comedian. Harpo then Chico and then Groucho. He was passionate about political issues. Especially about our military service. So many servicemen dying. Love love love Groucho and Harpo and Chico. May they rest in peace. I can't wait to get to heaven to go see the Marx brothers perform

Julius Henry Marx, más conocido como Groucho Marx (Nueva York, 2 de octubre de 1890-Los Ángeles, 19 de agosto de 1977), fue un actor, humorista y escritor estadounidense, conocido principalmente por ser uno de los miembros de los hermanos Marx. Es considerado el cómico más influyente de todos los tiempos, siendo sus frases, a pesar del paso del tiempo, destacadas en la cultura pop por generaciones, incluso en la época actual. Falleció en Los Ángeles a causa de una neumonía. Poco antes de morir, la Academia de Hollywood le había concedido un Óscar honorífico, en reconocimiento a toda su carrera cinematográfica.
