Wow! Always great to see comments from descendants of the contestants! Did I get the spelling of his first name correct? Obviously I got the last name wrong, which I'll correct now. Did he share any memories about being on the show that you can recall?
I recognize J Edward McKinley from 1950's, 1960's and 1970's TV shows and movies as a character actor. Never forgot his part in a Munsters episode where he played the mayor and broke his leg, and with a cast on his leg, he outran a moving car running away out of fear of meeting Herman Munster. I still laugh when I see that scene.
Ilana Million I really agree! I bet he was a FUN DAD! I miss my own so much, and just lost my first Class Mother a few weeks a go. It’s hard to be an orphan at nearly 64, but I had WONDERFUL PARENTS! You obviously did too!
Wow, Annie Wilkins, who, in 1954 was given two years to live. She rode her horse and traveled with her dog over 4000 miles from Maine to California - and lived another 24 years! She is one of the few guests who kept up with Groucho. In the show she called her horse King, but I had read that the horse was Tarzan and the dog was Depeche Toi.
She had a horse named Rex she got to go along with Tarzan who she originally rode from Maine. Unfortunately, Rex died from tetanus. She grieved a long while and only resumed her journey after Art Linkletter gave her a horse named King which gave her new hope since Rex and King mean the same thing.
@@2BESTdogBLUE I just finished listening to the book on tape about Annie wilkens. The title of the book is, "the ride of her life.". I liked it so much to listened to it twice!
Frankincensed- Exactly! That's why the actual game kept changing over the years-- It was secondary to the interviews Groucho did with the guests each week. Truthfully, this show is a great window into the sociology of American society!
I get a kick out of these old shows and have a new found respect for Groucho’s amazing talent. I remember many from days gone by wish we his kind of comedy would return.
I once heard George say Groucho was a big star in almost every field of entertainment. Vaudeville, Broadway, Movies, and with You Bet Your Life radio and TV.

I am watching this due to the book I am reading. The Ride of Her Life. It is about this interesting lady who Groucho interviewed about half way through this filming, Messannie. Just a big wow factor. Great job, Grouchy! Thank you for sharing this on youtube!😍
Had Desoto given away a loaded Desoto Fireflite Convertible instead of the $5000 dollar prize on the Wheel, That division of Chrysler might still be in business today!. Groucho & "You Bet Your life" was so popular that when it off the air people complained for years. I was a kid but I can still recall vividly my grown up neighbors complaining about it.
The amazing mind of Groucho Marx. I always laugh when the people he’s talking to don’t get what he’s referring to. He was so smart and knew so much about words and their meanings and origins. Often his jokes went unnoticed by the contestants. Occasionally though the contestants were very sharp themselves. This particular episode was aired when I was 2 years old.
I see in the comments many people saying Mes Annie Wilkins looks like the legendary Harpo Marx, Groucho's brother. But her face, the glasses, and general build and attire are dead on for the equally legendary character actor Ed Wynn.
@@pathenderson5988 Hi Pat. Apparently, J. Edward caught the attention of a Hollywood agent due to his appearance with Groucho and the rest is history. He told me stories about working with Elvis, Peter Sellers, etc. He was a very funny person and a real gentleman.
@@capnhawk51 Thanks for the info. That’s really cool. I figured while on the Groucho show he was already trying to break into Hollywood. As it turns out some agent sees him on Groucho and decides he could be an actor. It must have been the funny way he told his traffic ticket story. My favorite J Edward part was when he was in a Munsters episode where he is playing the mayor. Spot the family pet runs away and ends up in the city sewer system. This frightens the sewer workers and the mayor gets involved to plan on flushing him out. Somehow things don’t go according to plan and the mayor has dynamite blow up near him at a manhole and he has a broken leg. He then goes to visit the Munsters to meet them at their house. He is seen with a broken leg at their door. Afterwards, all hell breaks loose as he gets frightened after seeing Herman. Next you see the mayors assistants and driver tear out of their in their car at top speed. Then you see the mayor running at top speed along with the car and then passing it! It’s so funny. So, how long was he an actor? Also, I always wondered how much money character actors made for each episode of a TV show that they appeared in.
What a brilliant host Groucho was , could talk to every type of contestant who came on to the show, and make a good joke out of almost anything, a very talented man. English pete 😁
@@SiiriCressey What she said is true. She rode from Maine to California and back, with 2 🐎 horses. She mortgaged her house and took off. It was said the locals breathed a sigh of relief. Strange individual.
I started watching all of these old TV gems for strictly nostalgic value. Then ultimately started answering the questions at about a 75% clip... I came for the wine and bought stock in the winery you might say ..haha
Gina - Uncle Vahan is hilarious! I do remember seeing this years ago. He was incredibly talented, but he was a an amazing father, husband, and friend. We loved him at Armenian Summer Camp!!!
It really delights me when people write here about getting to see their relatives on a YBYL, especially the folks who haven't been able to see the episode their relative was in before this! :)
This reminds me of an old man who was about 68 years old at the time when he decided to go to La Paz Baja California.From my home town of Santa Barbara Gto. mexico.It was a 2 day trip by bus and train at the time o and ferry. this is a true story. After a couple of mouths he came back with the biggest donkey we had ever seen in mexico he was huge and he had brought he all the way from la Paz baja California by land amazing.
I vaguely recall these being brought to us in Living Color on NBC. I understand the economy of B&W in those days, but it would be nice to see one! Only my Great Aunt and Uncle could afford Color but we spent so many happy weekends there, it was our second home!
It's an interesting thing with Groucho: he never minds the guests getting huge laughs (and he knows when it's better to sit back and let the audience appreciate the guests without him interrupting), but he definitely gets annoyed when they're *trying* to be funny. He also loves it when the guests insult him.
Another great episode! The animated commercials are awesome. The first contestant, Hazel L. Hummel, was a prolific artist. Here's a link to an Alpine Trail painting she painted in 1947. She was 66 when the show aired. She died at age 75 in 1965. www.burchardgalleries.com/auctions/2005/apr1705/01images/l338.htm
@ Jimmie Dee I definitely agree the animated commercials are spectacular!! Wow so COOL to find out she was an artist, her work was beautiful. I had major respect for her when she declined to come back & RISK losing her MONEY!
Good parking story. I got a $120 ticket parking too close to a fire hydrant with no painted curb. So, I painted curbs around the city to help others not get stung! Luckily, never got caught. I spent more on paint!
28:31- "Chrysler Corporation's big television show" was 'CLIMAX!" {hosted by William Lundigan}- alternating with Jack Benny's monthly "SHOWER OF STARS" specials- on CBS, following "YOU BET YOUR LIFE" on Thursdays [8:30pm(et)].
Annie Wilkins was the oddest guest that I ever saw on the You Bet Your Life show. This is just an observation and not meant as a personal insult to her.
lol...the man that said he did impersonations???? he didnt sound like any of the people he was impersonating....but they could have spent the whole program on Anne and her travels...amazing lady....
I wonder how many people watch these videos, lament the fact that people had better manners and dressed more elegantly back then, and then go around all day in sweats and have tattoos like the Sunday comics on their bodies? If so many people think people looked and behaved more decently in those days, why don't we see people dressed up nicely in the shops, on airplanes, and on the street? Nearly 150,000 people have watched this video. If only half of them dressed decently all the time, instead of like slobs, they could start a movement.
This show more or less set the stage (no pun intended) for future quiz shows. I think George Fenneman is the image of quiz show announcers. Groucho starred in another tv show-Tell It To Groucho-which alas lacked the style and gimmickry of this show and only lasted a couple of monthes.
I’ve noticed that many of these contestants, as they’re telling their story, when Groucho interrupts to comment something hilarious, or whatever, the contestant keeps on going. Just a slight pause but then barrel through LOL!! I don’t know. Just something I noticed.
Wonder if his mentioning the gas-chamber was a hint at the Caryl Chessman-case? I remember that name so clearly from the newspapers and/or radio of my childhood in Denmark.
Jim McKinley is J. Edward McKinley, character actor. He was in a lot of TV shows and B movies. He died in 2004. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Edward_McKinley
I don't recognize him at all, but he certainly has the authority of a professional performer in his segment. Few contestants were so relaxed and in command of what they had to say. There are some Jim/James McKinleys on imdb, but none that could possibly be the same guy based on dates.
maynardsmoreland and Groucho Marx - You Bet Your Life you both have now got the answer about Jim McKinley, actor, on the same page as this reply, by James Stroh. :) You Bet Your Life #56-04 George Fenneman reveals his middle name (Secret word 'Hand', Oct 18, 1956)
Jim McKinley played a good character role of the person Fred Clutterbuck in "the Party" 1968. When I first saw this clip, I immediately recognised him.
Zeppo Marx left the Marx Brothers after he realized that Groucho was the main attraction. Ironically he was the last Marx Brother to go. Groucho's comedy career had faded by this time due to his appearing in mediocre films (Copacabana), this tv show really revived his career.
1) The same young woman from episode 0702 (#56-02) stands in for the duck in this episode as well. 2) Small spelling correction... after listening 5 times each to Fenneman, Groucho, and the guest say his name... I believe it is spelled Vaughn Khorigian. (Phonetically Cor-i-GI-an) (No nitpicks =^^= I remember you saying you like corrections)
FF11Freshstep I absolutely do appreciate corrections, and more generally, appreciate all the great comments you've been leaving. Just, please understand if I don't have time to make corrections if they're minor (it's not just a matter of editing the description because I like to verify these things before correcting them). I'm so busy with my "What's My Line" channel, I've not had much time for YBYL lately, as much as I love it. That's why the episodes are getting posted so slowly-- way too slowly. :( But thank you again.
Groucho Marx - You Bet Your Life of course man your welcome and at your leisure! i'm just pooping out what i find out here for you so all can prosper by it =^^=
FF11Freshstep They *have* a separate language, and Vahan means "Shield". I've also read this is a quite popular name in Armenia. ;) But none of this I would have known, if it wasn't for a certain "Vahan", who's a regular commenter on this uploaders *What's My Line?* pages! ;D
I was 11 years old when this show was first aired. I loved this show then and at the age of 73 I still love this show. RIP Groucho.
I'VE ENJOYED WATCHING ALL THE MOVIES....I SAW HIM AT CARNEGIE HALL IN 72....RIP ALL THE BROTHERS
You and I are the same age and my grandpa got me watching this as a little kid.Great memories
Been looking for this for this episode with my father for YEARS!!! Love hearing his voice again.
Wow! Always great to see comments from descendants of the contestants! Did I get the spelling of his first name correct? Obviously I got the last name wrong, which I'll correct now.

LOVE these shows. I am 67 and remember these well. Such a different and REAL time. Thanks for sharing!
Great show from an era of when people were much more respectful. Dressed more elegant and had a better way of decency
Except for Groucho. He would seduce a woman or flirt with them. A little sarcastic.

1:07 When people dressed up. Compare this audience to the slovenly group that goes to "The Price is Right."

Now, airplanes are flying buses.

DON'T FORGET. lol
You will need a delorean first to get back then
I can’t wait either.
Hasn't anybody noticed that in the wide shots that Annie Wilkins looks a bit like Harpo? Bet that's why Groucho breaks up when she walks in.

A penny in the meter. Those days I do remember. I was little and would put a penny in a meter in the valley where my mom shopped. LOL

Im convinced I wish I could buy a new 1957 DeSoto.
Loved the questions !

She was very interesting!
The Ride of Her Life by Elizabeth Letts- great biography of Annie- fills in a lot of the back story.
Excellent!
YOU HAVE TO ADMIT,THAT GROUCHO WAS ONE HELL OF A CAR SALESMAN.I BET PLYMOUTH SOLD A LOT OF CARS WHILE GROUCHO WAS ON TV.
She’s still waiting for Groucho to pay that dollar

This was a great one! Imagine her riding a horse to California
Wonderful show.
I second that emotion
Jeg må sige. At Groucho. Er en af de nest underholdende karakterer vi har set.
This show had some of the most beautiful women as guests and secret word models.

THIS WOMAN RESEMBLES HARPO

i was 3 months old when this went out
beboploo, don't worry, it will come back soon.
I was 2and1/2----remember my parents watching Groucho, and now I'm enjoying these episodes so much!
12:31 I always suspected that Harpo Marx could really talk. Now we all know he can!
"The police out here don't hide behind signboards"..."You're right, they don't"..."They hide behind drive-ins (hot coffee 'n sandwiches)". LLOL!
I bet that Annie Oakley LOL
7m40 "Sure I do" - cracked me up". Imagine how much his taking $2 fine to court cost .
That man was very entertaining I actually clapped.
Can't wait to see the new Desoto October 30th
13:45 One thing is for sure. She's a heck of a lot prettier than the duck.
So when does the new De Soto come out?
4m50s his use of 'why' disconnected from a question is so quaint. He does it several times.
This show more or less set the stage (no pun intended) for future quiz shows. I think George Fenneman is the image of quiz show announcers. Groucho starred in another tv show-Tell It To Groucho-which alas lacked the style and gimmickry of this show and only lasted a couple of monthes.

I think they could have mentioned the October 30 DeSoto reveal another hundred times or so
I like big Jim. He's funny and modern
You DO want to see this one. Big surprise from one of them. You won't see this one coming. And it's not what you thought. Talent!!! At 20:00
Amazing she was able to do that, no way in today's world.
Houston drivers with their high beams headlights would blind any horse travel at night.
There is a young man doing this right now with two mustang horses. He has a RUclips channel.
I thought the lady was harpo lol
I put a penny in the meter. The Ticket was 2 dollars
Wonder if his mentioning the gas-chamber was a hint at the Caryl Chessman-case? I remember that name so clearly from the newspapers and/or radio of my childhood in Denmark.
I OWNED A 55 CHEVY THE 55IVS N 57INS WERE CLASSICS
And don’t forget to watch on another network? My have things changed!
What year did they stop making De Soto and Plymouth?
The impression guy is a scary dude

The sporty '55 DeSoto Firedome makes the '57 look like a tank; sort of like comparing the '55 and '57 Chevys.
$1,000 bucks in 1956 is like $15,000 in 2021 dollars. Not too shabby at all.
Actually the exchange in monetary value would be approx 9X...in 2024

I'm so busy with my "What's My Line" channel, I've not had much time for YBYL lately, as much as I love it. That's why the episodes are getting posted so slowly-- way too slowly. :( But thank you again.

FF11Freshstep ...and in Armenian, Vaughn would be *Vahan*. ;)
got me! lol i'll just take your word for it since i know nothing about their language (or even if they have a seperate language there)
FF11Freshstep They *have* a separate language, and Vahan means "Shield". I've also read this is a quite popular name in Armenia. ;) But none of this I would have known, if it wasn't for a certain "Vahan", who's a regular commenter on this uploaders *What's My Line?* pages! ;D
some of these questions are fucking hard.
