Iain Murray Rose (6 January 1939 - 15 April 2012) was an Australian swimmer, actor, sports commentator and marketing executive. He was a six-time Olympic medalist (four gold, one silver, one bronze), and at one time held the world records in the 400-metre, 800-metre, and 1500-metre freestyle (long course).

It's nice to hear these 2 two young people talk without using the word "like" every 2 seconds.

[@Walterwhiterocks]

Or starting every sentence with the word "so."

[@egala005]

So maybe you should like get used to it

[@robertklose2140]

@@Walterwhiterocks Yes! I've noticed how common that's become.

[@akrenwinkle]

@@Walterwhiterocks Or ending every sentence, drifting off with "so."

@egals005 Nah, I don't think so. I'm too old school. :)

"When you're out their swimming, have you ever thought of just drowning yourself?" - holy cow, one of Groucho's very best.

[@FrugalFarmerChannel]

Ziva is absolutely gorgeous. I miss these elegant women.

[@henrybrowne7248]

She really was . . kind of a Gal Godot before Gal Godot was even born, I was thinking . .

Hilarious¡! Loving all these showings. Thank you.

[@mrpuniverse2]

Ziva appeared as Nefertiti in the Batman tv series with Victor Buono

[@Dexsting]

Fastest secret word. Was first thing she said!!!!!

[@MrMenefrego1]

Mr. Murry Rose (at 8:04~) looks like he was the model for the original Ken doll lol.

[@davemattia]

...and what was wrong with his upper body and posture. He looks like he is encased in plaster. He could barely extend his hand to shake hands with Groucho.

at 9:38 that Gaza Strip joke should be put on the friggin 6 o'clock news! still relevant 57 years later as they still fight over it.

murray rose is a 6 time medal winning Olympic swimmer! he won 3 more medals at the 1960 games. here's a link en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murray_Rose

Wow! Ziva was quite good at miming!

[@vova47]

Groucho has Ziva fooled into thinking he didn't know what pantomime was! Funny!

[@dianedizayee5211]

Murray is very handsome and Ziva is beautiful.

[@egala005]

@@dianedizayee5211 Groucho was right on the money, hopefully those two banged after the show

[@roncote215]

Thanks for Sharing this -It would be great if you could add a video each day.

[@martinjones5965]

Interesting observation of Groucho that the 10K has never been won. Probably should have been a wakeup call to show controllers that they should have changed something in the show to make 10k potential closer to reality.

[@franklinnorth7708]

I got it wrong, thought Alaska was the most northern point, but forgot this was before Alaska was a State

[@hogfarmersforjustice4804]

[@SheriSoltes]

“I did quite reasonably, I won 3 gold medals.” 👀

[@martinjones5965]

10m37s ... did you spot Groucho's "Australia"? Best ozzie accent I've ever heard from a yank.

[@mikedemaria3695]

The very first word out of her mouth was the secret word. Has that ever happened before?

[@robertewing3114]

The first word out of every human mouth is the secret word. In fact, every word is. When has that never happened before?

[@martinjones5965]

21m55s and thus, beside himself with excitement at winning, Stephen Perkins does backflips around and off the walls and ceilng of the studio.

[@ErnestTeeBass]

Funniest comment I’ve read in a long time! Not even a smile from Mr Perkins

[@poetcomic1]

Murray Rose went on to eat meat after his swimming days were over and definitely went on to dating girls of whom he married two.

[@VictoriaAlfredSmythe]

11:00 a girl who knows what she wants!

[@CamhiRichard]

Arthur Godfrey's mom was kind of a dull thud. And I get the impression that Groucho didn't think much of her son, either.

[@usermikes]

Not many people liked Arthur Godfrey..He was a nasty person towards everyone...

[@charleswinokoor6023]

She sounded half drunk, and her son had a reputation for being something of an anti-Semite.

[@jeffclement2979]

He became hated after he fired one of his acts...On the air!

[@henrybrowne7248]

Wow, I didn't know that. My Mom and I used to listen to his radio show [Breakfast Club?] all the time.

[@henrybrowne7248]

I just looked it up on ImdB. Sure enough, he fired Julius LaRosa as you said because LaRosa had found himself an agent. Godfrey was known for discovering young talent and LaRosa was a recent find. Godfrey wanted people to be loyal to him.

[@giavannabellucci309]

Murray Rose talks about his healthy diet, which is vegetarian or maybe even vegan; no processed foods (I didn't think the 1950's had processed foods yet), no alcohol, etc. Wow, he was ahead of his time. Unfortunately, he died in 2012 at only 73 years young due to leukaemia. So, he did his part in staying healthy, but there's really nothing you can do to prevent leukemia. It's cancer of your blood cells caused by a rise in the number of white blood cells in your body.

[@KidMillions]

A moderate amount of alcohol is typically better than no alcohol at all, as it seems to help rid the body of toxins.

[@LeroyBraun]

We don't know if his habits changed.

[@robertewing3114]

@@KidMillions cheers.

[@mehboobkm3728]

@@KidMillions It is not just the alcohol that harms your body. For a lot of people it is what they do after imbibing on alcohol including smoking, eating unhealthy food, staying up late, losing sleep etc etc.
