      Melinda's public appearances have been very few since the 1960s. She did pop up to do a short audio interview for the DVD release of the 1959 TV version of "The Mikado", which she appeared in with Groucho. Otherwise, she hasn't spoken publicly about Groucho for many years.

    Melinda was the youngest and most talented of his three daughters. She appears on her Daddy's show AT LEAST four times. I THINK the first time was at age 8 when she sang, "Witch Doctor." I THINK her last appearance was at 12 when she sang AND danced with another guest.
    Even though I would never believe Groucho would ever played favorites with his girls, I do believe Melinda held a special place in his heart.

      He was a big fan of Gilbert and Sullivan, to the chagrin of some of his friends I've heard it said, but I think The Mikado was the only performance of their work he ever gave. That said, I didn't know about this duet until today.

  • @FF11Freshstep
    @FF11Freshstep 10 лет назад +13

    just a little piece of info... that "Wha' happan?" line you'll hear Groucho use in this episode and many others, comes from a very old radio episode of the show. George Fenneman did a commercial for something of which I've forgotten (soap or something). He imitated that line from Fenneman for years and years well after anyone still knew what he was talking about. =^.~= Also, all the Jack Webb and Dragnet references you'll hear from Groucho is because George Fenneman is also the guy who did the tagline for Dragnet on the radio.

  • @jackkircher1755

    I stand corrected. He had three CHILDREN. The oldest was a boy named Arthur. Sorry for the oversight. I looked itvup and didn't remember the names so I said he had all girls.
    This had to have been a tough song for wn 8 year old to sing with so many words crammed into a measure.

    Why'd the CARE woman say "if I win $10,000"? When they did the big question it was worth $1,500. Later when they introduced the wheel to the show the big question could be worth $10,000.
    Also, it is rare that anyone plays the game the correct way, the way the CARE woman did: to start at the highest value question you plan to play and work down from there.
