You Bet Your Life #56-17 Beauty School Dropout; Dog Mathematician ('Picture', Jan 17, 1957)

[@marions.120]

This was one of the funniest YBYL, so much so that going to watch it again! It really made me laugh.

[@davidlhorn]

Thank you for taking the time to digitize and upload this to KZbin. One of the contestants on this show, Sharon Harrell married a naval aviator, (F-4 phantoms) Donald Horn. They eventually landed in Oxnard California where they raised my brother and I. They are both gone now so it was a special pleasure to stumble upon this footage. I knew my mom was on "You Bet Your Life", she had mentioned it long ago when I was still in High School. I stumbled upon this after watching the movie "21" and figured I would do a quick Google search for my mom's maiden name and Groucho Marx. I'd never seen this footage before and although I have many photos of my mother at or around this age (she did some modeling for Kodak) I'd never seen video of her at such a tender age. Thank you again!

[@grouchomarx-youbetyourlife7476]

How wonderful! I'm so glad you managed to find the video-- I guess I'm not wasting my time putting the descriptions on the shows after all! Since you said "thank you", I'll say "you're welcome", but really, thank you for leaving this comment It's always great to hear from the contestants, or their relatives.

[@davidlhorn]

Are you related to Groucho, the producers or a fan? Just curious. Thanks again.

[@grouchomarx-youbetyourlife7476]

David Horn None of the above! Just a huge fan of the show who thinks it's absolutely criminal YBYL has been almost completely unavailable for the last 20+ years. Your comment made my day. The rare times I hear from relatives of contestants, the most they offer is "That's my uncle", or something similarly dull. :)

[@SuperWinterborn]

David Horn Your mother was beautiful, David! :)

[@davidlhorn]

Thank you! I was very fortunate to have her as my mother.

[@jaelge]

That was some kiss between the fireman and beauty school drop out. I did not expect that. And how precious was that first girl? Adorable!

5:09 “What English Queen ruled for 60 years?” Sharon answered “Queen Elizabeth” and the answer was right! She was just premature with her response. After 2012, she could have contacted the show and claimed the money!!!!

[@theresaholguin699]

Groucho was always wonderful to the contestants. There was a lot of young people on the show.

[@Code3forever]

I remember responding to Groucho's home in the Truesdale Estates area of Beverly Hills in 1973 while working on the ambulance. He had pneumonia where we transported him to Century City Hospital. He was a character then too. While he was on our gurney going to his room, he patted a nurse on her rear while going past her. She didn't think it was funny and told him so.

[@robertewing3114]

She felt more honoured than amused, or would have felt honoured if not so bemused. That usually is pneumatic drill.

[@62impalaconvert]

Compare Sharon the 17 year old high school girl to many of the girls of today- actually there is no comparison. She is incredibly mature and poised.

[@g.m.5607]

62impalaconvert 🤔 she got engaged 5 times and didn't know anything but she was definitely poised 😁

[@louisep5178]

So are a lot of young ladies of today

[@parsonscarlson7984]

Amen! It's hard to believe what passes for beauty today. Many women and young ladys have no shame and flaunt it. It may not be strictly biblical, but its the truth nonetheless; "A shameless woman constantly acts (dresses) disgracefully, but a modest daughter (woman) will be embarrassed even before her husband" Ecclesiasticus 26:24 footnote.

[@SelfReflective]

@@parsonscarlson7984 ladys? Thank you for that trite and unjustified remark.

[@thormatt2963]

The 17 year old girls today are pierced, tattooed, and can't live without their cell phones.

[@donkboys]

Thor Matt You may be surprised.. not all the 17 year old girls of today are pierced, tattooed.. And most all of us are attached to our cell phones. I am school bus driver of the last 15 years, and most of the kids are very respectful, decent acting. There’s always going to be that one in the crowd, but on the whole the kids made my job fun, pleasurable, and rewarding. My most famous student was Missy Franklin, had her on my bus for elementary and middle school. Very well mannered. She went on to win Olympic Gold as a swimmer!

[@maureenhammack9826]

Disgusting, especially the tattoes

[@SheriSoltes]

As someone in the service dog training business for over 30 years, I really enjoyed the last female contestant and her dog. If we could see her completely while working with the dog, we could probably discern how she is cueing him; but, it was still super enjoyable! Love these old fashioned all American doggies!

I think the beef treats were 4 barks and the chicken treats were 9 barks.

[@PaulMcCaffreyfmac]

It's amazing, and refreshing, that many of the interviews on this game show are longer than interviews on current so-called chat shows. I'm sure it's not his fault and I do like him but Stephen Colbert often has people on and off quicker than this

[@buzzkill808raven2]

you're watching the wrong chat shows. you can find all kinds of lengthy interviews on all kinds of topics..

[@martinjones5965]

22m22s she was very affectionate - first to the fireman then the mic - I think she actually need a rail to lean on but the mic sufficed. Her scream, I suspect, was the sound guy sending 5000KV phantom power to the mic to get her off it.

robert maxwell in segment 3 is a bearded William Sadler! was bothering me the whole time who he looked like. they are not the same person for sure but the resemblance is quite striking.

[@loissimmons6558]

While the actor, William Sadler, would have been about 7 years old when this segment was recorded, wasn't there another guest who also claimed to have figured out how to beat the roulette wheel? The other guest went into more detail (observe the wheel over a long period of time and see which numbers come up more often due to small imperfections in the wheel), but it would seem they used the same methodology.

[@loissimmons6558]

Found the episode with the other roulette wheel beater. His name is Albert Hibbs and he was on episode 58-18 which aired on 1/22/59.
