Not buying it. He was full of it and it showed. He come from a family of drifters that made their living from not being honest, slight of hand and telling tall tails also know as lies. I believe he was a good entertainer, but when he appeared on Groucho he was closer to being in his early to mid seventies. His smoking at 2 and drinking and eating anything he wanted was likely true. There is no record of all of those children or even a verifiable one about a wife. And even had he had all those kids, twins and all, and his wife “said he was a man”, we all know how challenging it is for a male to produce. 🙄 Back then a person could literally tell any story they wanted to and unlike today there was no way to verify their claims.

My great-great grandfather was the oldest man in Oklahoma in the mid-1950s. He was born in 1852 and died in 1958, so pretty similar to Mr. Carter here. He was a farmer and worked very hard on his property. He didn't have electricity or running water until he was around 100 years old!

On a Letterman show, Letterman said that people from the audience should be guests. He never did it, but this is as close as any show has gotten and it’s quite good.

@@armybeef68 She is alive, and actually did a photo shoot in PLAYBOY magazine and was the centerfold of may 1958, 6 months before this show. Groucho had to know.
Pop was doing just fine with his health up to around the time of this show at 104. But soon after discovered and became addicted to fast food restaurants. All he ate were cheeseburgers, French Frys, fried chicken and milk shakes. He died 3 years later. Lesson for us all.
i've always enjoyed over the years. i was a little kid when they came out, then reruns in the 70's and 80's and now on you tube, luv it.

It's amazing to have people that lived to over 100 back then. That man was as sharp as a tack. I think some of the food back then was natural & healthier. Today's food has so many preservatives and chemicals in them that the long-term effects haven't been studied. I remember when the bread would go moldy in 2 days. We had to buy fresh bread all the time. I remember reading in Switzerland that they would have fresh bread with their meal, then leave it out to get hard and stale to prevent mold. They would later cut pieces off and dip it into wine to soften it and would eat a lot of cheese. My sister went to Italy to live with her mother-in-law for awhile. They go food shopping everyday for fresh food. They eat lots of butter, olive oil and drink wine, but don't have cholesterol or heart problems. The old guy said he smoked from age 2. They probably cured the tobacco naturally. Today they are adding ammonia & formaldehyde to help leach more nicotine out of the tobacco. Can't be good. The Amish make everything natural. They have crocks with milk turning into yogurt naturally and natural sauerkraut in crocks with just cabbage, salt & water. Groucho lived to a ripe old age. I remember that tape of him going at it with Bill Cosby and he must have been 80.
When the pretty girl was doing her thing I felt sorry for the little old man whom I thought would be a bore, but that little old man upstaged the girl AND Groucho too.
Elderly people normally are a treasure trove of funny life experiences and learned puns and jokes. Sadly some young people who are dismissive of them or find it hard to interact with them are missing out on some of the best conversations they'll ever remember.
@@Surfishy888 True enough. That reminds me, when I first heard the TV title "Two and a Half Men," I realized that they were probably counting the kid as "half a man" but I realized instantly a funnier title would have been "Two Men," because the two old guys would have only half their lives left, but the young guy had a whole life life. Two half men plus one whole man equals "Two Men."
@@jimjimsandburg2754 The trend to shorter hair began when Antoni Cierplikowski create the bob haircut for women in 1909. It didn't really catch on until the 1920s, after nurses in Europe started using this cut in WWI for convenience and health reasons. According to a recent survey, 72% of men are more attracted to women with long hair. You can certainly count me in that group. It's every woman's right to shave her head, but it's every man's right to be attracted to long hair. Long hair on women seems to be fairly universal throughout human history. Why did you raise the subject of hair length?
@@TheNameOfJesus The fifties brought the 'Italian cut', kind of short and messy and though I like long hair it could be rather ravishing (Audrey Hepburn gets one in Roman Holiday). The golden age of long hair in women was ca. 1900 when women wore waist length and longer hair piled on their heads. The boudoir moment of a woman letting down her long hair for her lover was extremely erotic to a bourgeois gentleman of the time.
When I was a little girl, the morning show used to always mention anyone who turned 100. When their birthday celebration was filmed, they were generally like something that died and was propped up, drooling and unaware in their wheelchair. Yet there was that old guy, some years before, looking maybe seventy and very lean and fit. Then I read about his family background--absolutely amazing!
i have to say that old guy really impressed me. and it blows my mind that your looking at someone alive during the civil war on a television show... be hard pressed to even find someone alive during WW1 now
It's amazing, yes. "I've Got a Secret" once had a contestant who was in the theater when Lincoln was shot! Lincoln Assassination Eyewitness (Feb 9, 1956)
This was a wonderful and one of the best guests he had, The gal was more beautiful than anyone today and even of her time and natural beauty, but somebody help me with my math,he is 102 was married for 72 years and has an 82-year-old child, is something not working out thanks for the response
Lari Laine was the pseudonym briefly used by Corinne Cole (born Corinne Elaine Kegley on April 13, 1937 in Brentwood, California), who is an American model and actress; she predominantly used her stage name in her acting career, however, after around 1959. She is 82 years old now.
★ 13:08 This man, Otto "Pop" Carter, was born BEFORE the United States Civil War! He was born in 1858 and the Civil War started in 1861. Imagine if during the civil war someone would have told this guy "Some day there will be a thing called TV, it's like a photograph, only it's animated and it's live and it's in everyone's houses and there will be TV shows and you will be on one of these shows and people all over America will be watching you at the same time. Also, the moving pictures of you will be saved, and in the year 2016, over 40 thousand people will watch you again, on a thing called the internet. Many of those viewers will be watching you while they are flying, driving or laying in bed on their telephones. Oh, also, there will be a guy who took an interest in you and looked up event that happened in the year of your birth, and other people read what he wrote about you and they thumbed up his comment and subscribed to him (hint hint, lol) and now you have a bit of immortality Bob. These are some of the things that happened in the year he was born; Minnesota became the 32nd U.S. state, Dallas became a city (incorporated) in Texas, the Treaty of Paris is signed which ended the Crimean War, Lawrence, Kansas is captured and burned by pro-slavery forces, The Great Train Wreck (the worst railroad disaster in the world to date) occurs in Pennsylvania, Democrat James Buchanan becomes the 15th President of the United States defeating the new fledgling political party called "Republicans", Kate Warne, the first female private detective, begins to work for the Pinkerton Detective Agency, Sigmund Freud and Nikola Tesla are born along with Woodrow Wilson who will become the 28th President of the United States, and finally, the British Guiana 1 cent magenta postage stamp is issued. There is only one left and it happens to be the world's rarest stamp. I would have loved to have been able to speak with Pop and photograph him. But when did Otto "Pop Carter die? I know he lived to be at least 106 however I can find no mention of his death anywhere.
I found some info on him on IMDb His mother lived to 109, father to 116, his mother's father to 121 ! will paste a little here from the site: (another site said he died at 107) At age 104, participated in the Southwest Pacific Roller Skating Championships and the Rollerama Show in 1960. An avid roller skater for approximately 100 years. He and his wife were married on skates and later toured the country in a roller skating act Guested on "You're Never Too Old", KLAC-TV, September 19, 1951. (Source: Variety, September 19, 1951.). At age 104 appeared on The Red Rowe Show (CBS-TV, June 1960), billed as the 'oldest living roller skater'. (Source: The Billboard, July 4, 1960, p 47.).Otto ('Pop') Carter, who was born behind the stage where his parents did a dance act, in San Antonio, Texas in 1856, celebrated his 107th at the Gardena roller-skating rink where he worked. His parents were entertainers--toe-dancers. They did a vaudeville act as The Carter Family. His mother lived to 109 and his father to 116. His mother's father lived to 121. Otto and his wife (who died in 1943) and were married on roller skates in 1875 in Indianapolis. They had sixteen children--nine boys and seven girls--with six sets of twins in the bunch. As at 1963 they were all living 'so far as I knew', and there were then 69 grandchildren, 39 great-grandchildren and 19 great-great-grandchildren. Otto, his wife and all their children toured the United States and Europe doing a skating act. After vaudeville, they toured rinks doing exhibitions. A lot of their act was acrobatic, like barrel jumping. For eight years prior to 1963 Otto had a Job as skate checker at the Rollerama, 2040 W. Rosecrans Blvd in Gardena. He worked six evenings and two afternoons a week.
What astounds me is that I saw "A Trip Down Market Street", an actuality film, filmed in 1906. He would have been 50! This film can be seen on youtube. This was one of the eras he lived in.
Brad Saint George i knew my great grandmother as a little kid in the 70s, and she was born only 20 yrs after lincoln was shot. she was raised with confederate veterans living in her town like anybody else, going to work, etc.
You're absolutely right! She's stunning. Almost as pretty as my wife. It was better back then. Most people just don't care what they look like when they leave the house anymore.
Bet Bob had many stories to tell. What a great guy, incredible. Perhaps one of his great great grandchildren, may live 200 years. Wishh I was one.Bet he had his eyes on BOOM BOOM, and could have even more children. she banged my drum. Pheww.
And then I made my comment about die within 2 days I'm glad he did was beyond her seven a21 I guess not too many McDonald's hamburgers whatever you want
The serviceman with the Australian war bride: "I liked my wife because she was good looking and she was there..." Groucho: "You don't have to go any furher."
At the age 104, participated in the Southwest Pacific Roller Skating Championships and the Rollerama Show in 1960. An avid roller skater for approximately 100 years. He and his wife were married on skates and later toured the country in a roller skating act.
Never let a funny bone turn to stone But if you do you will not be all alone To sadness and grief people are prone If in this zone call a friend on the phone If you lost all your friends stand alone
This guy is 102 and walking, standing, talking coherently...its crazy how we’re “advanced” today, but extremely few of us get to 90, and especially not in the mental and physical condition hes in 😳
I don't know why you'd say that. Life expectancy is so much greater today. Many more people today live to 100 and live well. I'm glad I wasn't alive and an adult in the 50's because I'd definitely be dead at a younger age due to a hereditary condition I've been able to control. Now myself and other relatives, we are all living longer lives. I was close to death 8 years ago. I'm just fine now. I'm grateful for all the medical advances.
102 years old in 1958! That would be like someone being 110-115 nowadays. Over 100 was almost unheard of back then, let alone healthy enough to appear on a game show.
My hometown is San Antonio and when I was little, my friends and I would regularly go to Rollercade and skate. I never heard of Pop Carter but I sure wish I had had the privilege and honor of meeting this man - literally living history. I have always found women from the 30's to 60's were classier, sexier, all natural, no piercings, tatoos, brains not polluted with women's lib shit and more feminine. Larry (Lari?) is a doll! WHERE are women like this today?
Wow I would love to have seen more of Miss Boom Boom!, what a fantastic looking woman. Oh and there was a little guy with her lol{I had to edit my comment, 102, wow he is incredible}
I had quite a few centenarians as clients. Two were in the same health facility. One lived tob113, the other wasb112, two were 105, one 102. The oldest, 113 did everything for herself in her room. I asked her how did she live so long, she said I never got married or had any children. Lol! The112 year old outlived two wives and all his children, they were in their 70's and 80's.
I did some research on "Pop" Carter, he was just blessed to come from a family of supreme genetics. His mother lived to be 109, his father lived to be 116, and his mother's father lived to the ripe ol' age of 121, you won't see this type of family life longevity too much anymore...

@@armybeef68 She is alive, and actually did a photo shoot in PLAYBOY magazine and was the centerfold of may 1958, 6 months before this show. Groucho had to know.
@@josephsmith7438, oh yeah Groucho knew alright, he was tapping her like no body's business.
Groucho: "Do you drink?" Pop Carter: "You set it in front of me and find out!"
Pop was doing just fine with his health up to around the time of this show at 104. But soon after discovered and became addicted to fast food restaurants. All he ate were cheeseburgers, French Frys, fried chicken and milk shakes. He died 3 years later. Lesson for us all.
@@pathenderson5988lol
Great shows! Can't stop watching.
Me neither.
Awesome! That little old man was great!
On a scale of 1 to 10, this at least a 10. So much packed in this episode, unbelievable. Thanks again for sharing.
Pop Carter....they certainly don't make em like him anymore!!!! Wow
i've always enjoyed over the years. i was a little kid when they came out, then reruns in the 70's and 80's and now on you tube, luv it.
It's amazing to have people that lived to over 100 back then. That man was as sharp as a tack.
I think some of the food back then was natural & healthier. Today's food has so many preservatives and chemicals in them that the long-term effects haven't been studied.
I remember when the bread would go moldy in 2 days. We had to buy fresh bread all the time. I remember reading in Switzerland that they would have fresh bread with their meal, then leave it out to get hard and stale to prevent mold. They would later cut pieces off and dip it into wine to soften it and would eat a lot of cheese.
My sister went to Italy to live with her mother-in-law for awhile. They go food shopping everyday for fresh food. They eat lots of butter, olive oil and drink wine, but don't have cholesterol or heart problems.
The old guy said he smoked from age 2. They probably cured the tobacco naturally. Today they are adding ammonia & formaldehyde to help leach more nicotine out of the tobacco. Can't be good.
The Amish make everything natural. They have crocks with milk turning into yogurt naturally and natural sauerkraut in crocks with just cabbage, salt & water.
Groucho lived to a ripe old age. I remember that tape of him going at it with Bill Cosby and he must have been 80.
Look at Groucho's expression at 7:31,LOL. his cigar would have fell out of his mouth...LOL. Captivating girl. I need a time machine.
When the pretty girl was doing her thing I felt sorry for the little old man whom I thought would be a bore, but that little old man upstaged the girl AND Groucho too.
Elderly people normally are a treasure trove of funny life experiences and learned puns and jokes. Sadly some young people who are dismissive of them or find it hard to interact with them are missing out on some of the best conversations they'll ever remember.
@@Surfishy888 True enough. That reminds me, when I first heard the TV title "Two and a Half Men," I realized that they were probably counting the kid as "half a man" but I realized instantly a funnier title would have been "Two Men," because the two old guys would have only half their lives left, but the young guy had a whole life life. Two half men plus one whole man equals "Two Men."

The pretty girl's hair style is actually considered long for 1950's styles.
The trend was to wear their hair shorter.
@@jimjimsandburg2754 The trend to shorter hair began when Antoni Cierplikowski create the bob haircut for women in 1909. It didn't really catch on until the 1920s, after nurses in Europe started using this cut in WWI for convenience and health reasons. According to a recent survey, 72% of men are more attracted to women with long hair. You can certainly count me in that group. It's every woman's right to shave her head, but it's every man's right to be attracted to long hair. Long hair on women seems to be fairly universal throughout human history. Why did you raise the subject of hair length?
@@TheNameOfJesus The fifties brought the 'Italian cut', kind of short and messy and though I like long hair it could be rather ravishing (Audrey Hepburn gets one in Roman Holiday). The golden age of long hair in women was ca. 1900 when women wore waist length and longer hair piled on their heads. The boudoir moment of a woman letting down her long hair for her lover was extremely erotic to a bourgeois gentleman of the time.
I was just 2 days old when this aired originally. I remember it fondly.
They really knew their history back then. Tough questions.
That was when America was great!!
A fabulous comedian
The best Grouch and Marx brothers
For whom?
I got 2 right!! That was hysterical! I loved the 102 year old! I take care of a 102 year old and she’s amazing too!
When I was a little girl, the morning show used to always mention anyone who turned 100. When their birthday celebration was filmed, they were generally like something that died and was propped up, drooling and unaware in their wheelchair. Yet there was that old guy, some years before, looking maybe seventy and very lean and fit. Then I read about his family background--absolutely amazing!
This was wonderful - thanks for posting
i have to say that old guy really impressed me. and it blows my mind that your looking at someone alive during the civil war on a television show... be hard pressed to even find someone alive during WW1 now
It's amazing, yes. "I've Got a Secret" once had a contestant who was in the theater when Lincoln was shot!
Lincoln Assassination Eyewitness (Feb 9, 1956)
wow thats crazy!
Seems the last WW I vet died about 5 years ago.

That girl is awesomely beautiful.
and she seems so sweet
my grandmother from Calabria looked very much like her....very beautiful
I had no idea that Groucho could sing -- and pretty good too.
This old man is a hoot he's a definite livewire
He's been defending his small stature all his life.
Thanks for upload. Very interesting with both Boom Boom and Old pop
He looks AMAZING for 102. Wow....
IMAGINE IF HE HAD HIS TEETH IN. HE WOULD HAVE LOOKED AND SOUNDED EVEN BETTER
First guy served in the 5th airforce in ww2 and earned the silver star.
Boom Boom is gorgeous. Her look would fit in perfectly in today's world.
Groucho uncut
Has
Too bad Today's MADE OUTTA PLASTIC....
She'd be a beauty in any age, but today she'd probably have tattoos all over, collagen in her lips, and wear yoga pants to the store.
She was a playboy centerfold just a few months before this broadcast.
This was a wonderful and one of the best guests he had, The gal was more beautiful than anyone today and even of her time and natural beauty, but somebody help me with my math,he is 102 was married for 72 years and has an 82-year-old child, is something not working out thanks for the response
Lari Laine was the pseudonym briefly used by Corinne Cole (born Corinne Elaine Kegley on April 13, 1937 in Brentwood, California), who is an American model and actress; she predominantly used her stage name in her acting career, however, after around 1959. She is 82 years old now.
She was Playboy Playmate of the month May 1958.
No flies on Mr. Carter; he’s a hoot! The Boom Boom girl was very nice. They were a lovely couple.
How many descendents while he was alive was insane, like a village
★ 13:08 This man, Otto "Pop" Carter, was born BEFORE the United States Civil War! He was born in 1858 and the Civil War started in 1861. Imagine if during the civil war someone would have told this guy "Some day there will be a thing called TV, it's like a photograph, only it's animated and it's live and it's in everyone's houses and there will be TV shows and you will be on one of these shows and people all over America will be watching you at the same time. Also, the moving pictures of you will be saved, and in the year 2016, over 40 thousand people will watch you again, on a thing called the internet. Many of those viewers will be watching you while they are flying, driving or laying in bed on their telephones. Oh, also, there will be a guy who took an interest in you and looked up event that happened in the year of your birth, and other people read what he wrote about you and they thumbed up his comment and subscribed to him (hint hint, lol) and now you have a bit of immortality Bob.
These are some of the things that happened in the year he was born; Minnesota became the 32nd U.S. state, Dallas became a city (incorporated) in Texas, the Treaty of Paris is signed which ended the Crimean War, Lawrence, Kansas is captured and burned by pro-slavery forces, The Great Train Wreck (the worst railroad disaster in the world to date) occurs in Pennsylvania, Democrat James Buchanan becomes the 15th President of the United States defeating the new fledgling political party called "Republicans", Kate Warne, the first female private detective, begins to work for the Pinkerton Detective Agency, Sigmund Freud and Nikola Tesla are born along with Woodrow Wilson who will become the 28th President of the United States, and finally, the British Guiana 1 cent magenta postage stamp is issued. There is only one left and it happens to be the world's rarest stamp. I would have loved to have been able to speak with Pop and photograph him.
But when did Otto "Pop Carter die? I know he lived to be at least 106 however I can find no mention of his death anywhere.
I found some info on him on IMDb His mother lived to 109, father to 116, his mother's father to 121 !
will paste a little here from the site: (another site said he died at 107)
At age 104, participated in the Southwest Pacific Roller Skating Championships and the Rollerama Show in 1960.
An avid roller skater for approximately 100 years. He and his wife
were married on skates and later toured the country in a roller skating
act
Guested on "You're Never Too Old", KLAC-TV, September 19, 1951. (Source: Variety, September 19, 1951.).
At age 104 appeared on The Red Rowe Show (CBS-TV, June 1960),
billed as the 'oldest living roller skater'. (Source: The Billboard,
July 4, 1960, p 47.).Otto ('Pop') Carter, who was born behind the stage where his parents did a dance act, in San Antonio, Texas in 1856, celebrated his 107th at the Gardena roller-skating rink where he worked. His parents were
entertainers--toe-dancers. They did a vaudeville act as The Carter
Family. His mother lived to 109 and his father to 116. His mother's
father lived to 121. Otto and his wife (who died in 1943) and were
married on roller skates in 1875 in Indianapolis. They had sixteen
children--nine boys and seven girls--with six sets of twins in the
bunch. As at 1963 they were all living 'so far as I knew', and there
were then 69 grandchildren, 39 great-grandchildren and 19
great-great-grandchildren. Otto, his wife and all their children toured
the United States and Europe doing a skating act. After vaudeville, they
toured rinks doing exhibitions. A lot of their act was acrobatic, like
barrel jumping. For eight years prior to 1963 Otto had a Job as skate
checker at the Rollerama, 2040 W. Rosecrans Blvd in Gardena. He worked
six evenings and two afternoons a week.
Brad Saint George *1856
What astounds me is that I saw "A Trip Down Market Street", an actuality film, filmed in 1906. He would have been 50!
This film can be seen on youtube. This was one of the eras he lived in.
Brad Saint George i knew my great grandmother as a little kid in the 70s, and she was born only 20 yrs after lincoln was shot. she was raised with confederate veterans living in her town like anybody else, going to work, etc.
1949 was the last year that the annual national civil war veterans services were held. Only one guy showed up.
"When was the last time you kissed a pretty girl like Boom Boom". I fell off my chair with his answer. 18:08
Love Groucho & his interaction with beautiful female contestants! This one is priceless! 🥰
How stunningly beautiful is the blonde lady. I was born in the wrong era.😭
You're absolutely right! She's stunning. Almost as pretty as my wife. It was better back then. Most people just don't care what they look like when they leave the house anymore.
i thought she looked like a man (boom boom lady)
Huge Woman Her Shoes Are Huge The Size Of A Boat !
@@brookegoslin You seem to be rather robust yourself.😁
She was a Playboy Playmate after this and on tv.
I lived with my grandfather when I was young, he was born 1860.
Bet Bob had many stories to tell. What a great guy, incredible. Perhaps one of his great great grandchildren, may live 200 years. Wishh I was one.Bet he had his eyes on BOOM BOOM, and could have even more children. she banged my drum. Pheww.
Lived till he was 107
bustermk2 His mother’s father lived to 121
Smokes since he was 2
@@blueskyz8097 for real?
And then I made my comment about die within 2 days I'm glad he did was beyond her seven a21 I guess not too many McDonald's hamburgers whatever you want
And why not?😃
This was so funny. Groucho is funny, but that Bob Carter is also hilarious!
Ms. Lane....WOW! breathtaking, beautiful creature.
18:17 Groucho almost fell out of his chair......lmao......google images of her (reddit.com) has a partial nude. she was something
I would marry instantly
Mark C. Bloome tires sponsored some local TV show back then in LA. That Lari Lane was certainly a lovely girl. Hope she is still with us.
Watching this as a 27 year old is so fascinating. Such an interesting time period in history.
I love watching this show I laugh and smile it's a fun show that we don't see anymore
I like drums, you can't beat them. 😝
have not heard " this is the land of opportunity" in a long time.
18:17-18:18, you see Groucho laugh his ass off. I have never seen Groucho laugh. Those 2 seconds are historic.
yeah that was a great moment
10 out of ten show ...love it
Lari Laine was Playboy Playmate of the month May 1958.
Pop Carter is amazing! The answer “last night” was crazy funny!
Groucho was a master wit...
Kevin Judy is
The serviceman with the Australian war bride:
"I liked my wife because she was good looking and she was there..."
Groucho: "You don't have to go any furher."
Wow 102!!?? I would have guessed 70!! Amazing!!!
He was 9 years old when Lincoln was assassinated
Smokes since 2
No, he would have been 7, since he was born in 1858.
Correction, by reading more of the comments he was born in 1856. So he would have been 9 at the time of Lincoln's death.
At least he got a Havana cigar
President Pierce was in office when Mr Carter was born.
At the age 104, participated in the Southwest Pacific Roller Skating Championships and the Rollerama Show in 1960.
An avid roller skater for approximately 100 years. He and his wife were married on skates and later toured the country in a roller skating act.
His youngest was born in 1922 he was 66 when he was born pop was a busy guy
Never let a funny bone turn to stone
But if you do you will not be all alone
To sadness and grief people are prone
If in this zone call a friend on the phone
If you lost all your friends stand alone
I knew all the songs but did not recognize them when the orchestra played them.
This guy is 102 and walking, standing, talking coherently...its crazy how we’re “advanced” today, but extremely few of us get to 90, and especially not in the mental and physical condition hes in 😳
And not many of us at any age "kissed a guhl as pretty as boom-boom last night"!
I don't know why you'd say that. Life expectancy is so much greater today. Many more people today live to 100 and live well. I'm glad I wasn't alive and an adult in the 50's because I'd definitely be dead at a younger age due to a hereditary condition I've been able to control. Now myself and other relatives, we are all living longer lives. I was close to death 8 years ago. I'm just fine now.
I'm grateful for all the medical advances.
Don’t know about that, people eat too much “garbage” nowadays?
Surviorship bias. Look at all the coal miners dead at 45.
The vax is something to consider, as to why...
102 years old in 1958! That would be like someone being 110-115 nowadays. Over 100 was almost unheard of back then, let alone healthy enough to appear on a game show.
here he is:
www.imdb.com/name/nm6288687/
Yep and on top of that, he smoked and drank booze and ate whatever he wanted. Maybe the food was much healthier back then.
Groucho was one of a kind!
I guess I’m a dinosaur, I watched You Bet Your Life on TV.
I liked when Pop said "I'm a man ".
Loved it too. Loved how it would trigger modern feminists.
I wanna go back in time and ask out , The Boom - Boom Girl ❤
This so beautiful 🤩🤩
My hometown is San Antonio and when I was little, my friends and I would regularly go to Rollercade and skate.
I never heard of Pop Carter but I sure wish I had had the privilege and honor of meeting this man - literally living history.
I have always found women from the 30's to 60's were classier, sexier, all natural, no piercings, tatoos, brains not polluted with women's lib shit and more feminine.
Larry (Lari?) is a doll!
WHERE are women like this today?
I can't imagine that beautiful woman with tattoos and facial piercings. It would be grotesque.
You are right on. I say the same. Unfortunately now trash is in and class is out.
Wow I would love to have seen more of Miss Boom Boom!, what a fantastic looking woman. Oh and there was a little guy with her lol{I had to edit my comment, 102, wow he is incredible}
7 years old when the Battle of Gettysburg took place. Talk about a walking encyclopedia.
Pop's health issues (lol) didn't give him longevity, it was his wit and humor. Not often Groucho got upstaged.
I imagine God had something to do with it also .
If Groucho was on Late Night TV today, he'd have more viewers than all those other poser's audiences added together.
Awesome episode!!!
Many actresses of my acquaintance were wrestlers..., they became wrestlers when they made my acquaintance...
I’d rather watch these old episodes all night instead of watching the modern debauchery on tv!
Great performance Groucho, if you are listening.
I clicked on for groucho, checked out boom boom and stayed for Otto!
102 in 1958 wow.
I had quite a few centenarians as clients. Two were in the same health facility. One lived tob113, the other wasb112, two were 105, one 102. The oldest, 113 did everything for herself in her room. I asked her how did she live so long, she said I never got married or had any children. Lol! The112 year old outlived two wives and all his children, they were in their 70's and 80's.
He says to the blonde ”your voice hasn’t changed but everything else has”. Groucho was the best
My father liked him because he didnt chew gum or spit on the table...😂
I loved the women's hairdos back then , very sexy and feminine. Bring them back ladies !!!
