You Bet Your Life #49-13 Unaired test film (Secret word 'Name', never aired on TV)

[@53redcobra]

Thanks so much for showing these episodes of You Bet Your Life! I'm addicted to Groucho and this show. Groucho just kills me...no other funny man compares to that wit. the way he interacts with his contestants is priceless. I watch episode after episode and am fascinated by the variety on contestants and the priceless, and by the "standards"of today, innocent, clean and entertaining banter between Groucho and guests. I never tire of it! Like I said, I'm addicted to it! It's my daily trip in a time machine to my favorite decade, the 50's.

[@CarlyG18]

I have been seeing Groucho's shows and reading his books, A great man, full of wit and fun. It's nice to see the early show with the breaks in it where he acts so "normal" and takes great joy in his work. He could also take time to be thoughtful and caring about important issues of the day. Like the time he talked about the Boy Scouts and encouraged youngsters to join and stay of of gangs and learn the Boy Scout wholesome life. Too bad no one will fill his shoes! The money they won could buy a nice house lot or put money down on a home, house lots in the 1950s could be had for 100$ for a house lot. now worth 100 grand +.

[@cefcat5733]

He is a genius of comedy, mimic and word play. The production was an upfront, open, high-precision piece of early showbiz teamwork and as we see, timeless entertainment. No wonder we didn't get the jokes while we were kids, as our parents were roaring with laughter.

[@MostlyBrenda]

Groucho mentions his 6'5" friend Robert Sherwood @ 2:35 . Wiki, however, lists him at 6'8". Sherwood was a member/founder of the famous "Algonquin Round Table" group of writers that included Dorothy Parker, Robert Benchley, George Kaufman etc.

I had a DVD of a small handful of episodes, but during my move, we had a break-in & as a result, much of my belongings were lost; this is a blessing to me ^-^ Groucho was such a funny man & this show was always amusing. The fact that you have almost all the episodes on a playlist is great, I can leave the playlist on overnight while I sleep - I have a constant ringing in my ears that makes it so I can't sleep in a silent room, the ringing will get so loud that I end up with a migraine. I have a number of playlists I bounce between, it'll be lovely to have another. Edit: LOL Groucho was actually right - leche (leh-chey) is milk in Spanish, the way she was pronouncing it did sound like lychee (lee-chee), which is an asian fruit or nut.

[@BusterMaxwellTV]

Kitty Bucher , so sorry to hear about your tinnitus. If you haven’t seen them, there are many videos on here ( like Dr. Alan Mandell’s) dealing with that topic, including sound/frequency therapy and other alternative treatments. Do you have your neck adjusted by a DC? That may help. Also, you may benefit from a beautiful, calming, peaceful, spiritual word, the HU (“hue”) that can be sung both out loud and silently. There are many extended recordings of it here on the incredible KZbin. Best of luck with everything! (PS: I’ve been sleeping with a “white noise” machine or a fan on at night for many reasons, including the calming relaxation, so I empathize. Sweet dreams!) 😴

I didn't remember that Ralph Levy directed this. Thanks as always for your comments. It's interesting how short YBYL's run on CBS was. The show moved from ABC to CBS in Jan 1950, only to end up on NBC radio/TV that fall. There were only ~25 shows on CBS from the whole run. Considering how many comedy stars had been "raided" from NBC by CBS's campaign in 1948, seems like this is one time NBC was determined not to lose!

Groucho ad libbed a line in another episode..."I belonged to a street gang...we never lost a fight...then some boys moved in"...I know I'm probably not quoting it right, but it just wiped me out upon hearing it. He was so droll and deadly a wit...a real "counter puncher" as Johnny Carson once said. He utterly KILLS me.

Elgin-American also owned the Excel Toy & Projector Co. of Chicago. This company made mainly hand-cranked toy movie projectors for 16mm and 8mm film. The "Apollo" was their bid to enter the 'legit' projector field, a low-priced 16mm sound projector without an amplifier or speaker; it "played" its sound through a nearby radio! It used an infra-red sound cell that could read the sound in black and white prints only, not color; and it was built to handle a maximum 400-foot reel (the length of a a cartoon or newsreel.) It could be adapted to handle longer reels only by purchasing an accessory set of extension arms and drive belts.

[@donaldwatson3176]

Groucho had such a quick wit. I used to watch these in reruns with my late father. He loved Groucho also. George Fennemen was a great second banana.

[@fromthesidelines]

NBC made a "better deal" than CBS. According to Arthur Marx, Groucho's brother Gummo {Milton} was his agent for those negotiations, and all parties met at Gummo's house- with Bill Paley and his CBS "boys" in one room, and NBC's reps in another. Groucho was in the "center" room, with Gummo constantly negotiating with each party from room to room, keeping Groucho informed on which network was willing to give him a better deal.....

[@jackmackenzie2482]

This is one of my favorite episodes. Though there are so many that were right up there. Groucho carried this show! I particularly like the shows they’ve aired since that never made TV due to the content. Sensors I’m sure wouldn’t allow it. Comedians from the 50’s and 60’s were clever enough to get the underlying joke out of a situation without swearing or using just deplorable language. It was an Art form. Was much tougher to be a preferred comedian back then. Life just seemed nicer!! I miss that.

You can learn to be funny, timing is important. Try writing a joke everyday, and when you get a good bit of them, start telling them to people to gauge reeactions, see what you do best and continue with that kind of humor. There's many different kinds of humor and many different kinds of comedians. Not everyone can be as witty as Groucho but you can defienitly find something. Thee three big kinds of humor are physical, verbal, and anti-humor. Stand up, crowd work, and what I would call vaudeville but would now be classified as "skits" I suppose, are the main kinds of comedians.

[@grouchomarx-youbetyourlife7476]

It's most likely that it never happened, but you'll see comments from people who swear they remember seeing it on TV. Impossible on two counts: the line, if it ever happened, would have been edited out before broadcast, no question about that. Second, the guest that this line would have been said to was on the show before it ever debuted on TV (it was on radio for three years before TV).

[@grouchomarx-youbetyourlife7476]

jessie james Um. . . no there isn't a clip. The show it would have happened on was on radio before the TV series began. This much is known fact. We still have a copy of that radio show to listen to today, and SURPRISE! The line isn't in it. If the remark had been made-- which it almost definitely was NOT-- it would have been edited out prior to broadcast. You're just one of the endless series of people whose memories are playing tricks on them. There is no clip, and it almost certainly never happened in the first place. Find me a clip of this and I'll eat a bug.

[@jessiejames7492]

how did what ''he supposedly said'' get started ?

[@grouchomarx-youbetyourlife7476]

I can't explain that, any more than I can explain all the other quotes misattributed to Groucho (or anyone else for that matter). I'm not claiming definitively that it never happened, I'm only saying that IF it happened, it happened on a radio show recording session before the TV series started, and that it would absolutely, without any question, have been edited out before broadcast. Groucho himself denied ever saying it, as did George Fenneman and Robert Dwan (the show's director). The whole story is a bit more complicated than that, but this is the gist of it: Definitely not in a TV episode, and definitely never would have aired on radio. *Possibly* was said, but very unlikely. Certainly no proof.

The young lady, Evelyn, was star-struck with Groucho. An innocent soul, she had to tread carefully with some of the jokes, and Groucho politely gave her plenty of leeway. At 29:38, Groucho reads off the cue card his next question, and Evelyn gives the answer she had been told beforehand would be a good response. To her surprise, Groucho seemed to snap back his repartee (also written on the cue card). Evelyn thought she had somehow insulted Groucho, but in reality Groucho was promptly ending the discussion segment before proceeding with the questions. Aware of this, Groucho had a remedy in the making. When she returned to try for the major prize, Groucho used the situation to soothe a young heart at 51:04. Groucho then blows a kiss (probably to his wife in the audience) to give the message not to take the flirt as anything other than stagecraft.
