Beautiful - Melinda is adorable Groucho must have been so proud of her
There is only 1 word for groucho...brilliant. I'm 76 and have never seen anyone quicker with a one liner. An absolute comedic genius
Melinda Marx! What a beautiful, talented, confident cutie! 😍
Groucho and Melinda Marx we're both on the Hollywood Palace she did her singing and dancing on there from her record 🎶it was good 🎤🎼
Just realizing Melinda's uncle's were Uncle Harpo, Uncle Zeppo, and Uncle Chico. Bet Thanksgiving dinners were a hoot.
of course i had to look up melinda, still with us at 73, cute as a button and a real nice singing voice. and the start of california getting a reputation as being "different", vegetarian charlie fox was way ahead of his time, shows he died in 2012 making him about 84 years "young".
"What does your father do?"
"He delivers mail in Chicago."
"Well he delivered a pretty good female, too."
Melinda was the cutest little girl ever! There's videos of her during her rock'n roll period on RUclips also. She really was beautiful and talented.
There's one from the mid 1960's with Melinda (age 18) doing a rock song when Dad hosted "The Hollywood Palace" show.
Awww🥰😍 Melinda is so adorable 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼😘. Cute little shimmy shake too☺️
I remember the song “Witch Doctor “very well and still know the words at 73.
That kid (Melinda) was a doll. Just a sweet kid.
That was cute..I remember Witch Doctor came out January 1, 1958 ..I was going on 12 that year. It was a silly cute song too. I still think the singers of the 1950's were good and sang some very pretty songs --Patti Page, Perry Como, Sinatra, Dean Martin...Elvis. I miss those days I wish I could go back to those days too.
Me too, Edie, me too!
I was born in 58 but I remember the song Alvin & the chipmunks did that song not sure what year I liked patty page Frank Sinatra I'm an ozzy fan too
David Seville aka Ross Bagdasarian Sr. song it
Melinda was so cute
Marianne Gaba was a famous beauty queen, model and actress.
This was before I was born.But so enjoy it....Funny how older a 18 yr girl looks older than 18......And more mature than today's 18 yr olders.......
more like 28.....
Marianne Gaba was on 2 episodes of the Beverly hillbillies.She played a beatnik and took Jethro to "cool" school .
She schooled a lot of men I'm sure!
I forgot all about that Witch Doctor song used to love that as a little tike, great memories
Originally recorded by Alvin and The Chipmunks with David Seville.
'Ooh, ee, ooh ah ah'...catchy little tune, indeed...
Awww Melinda is sooo cute awww..great voice
Lot of things he says he would never get away with today .. different era
This little girl whether related to Groucho or not is good, cute as a button.
melinda marx should have sang on more of the shows she has a very nice voice.
From the episodes I have watched, Melinda did sing several more times on the show. She even sang with her father in one episode, and both sang and danced with Bobby Van in another episode. I wonder what became of her after her father introduced her to the public...
mark ruane SUNG!!!!
@@terencedove5047 Melinda did try a recording career in the early 60's, and she wasn't bad. Clips of her performing a couple of her records, "East Side Of Town" and "What?" can be found here on You Tube, and are worth watching.
@@jeffmissinne3866 …let me say thanks. I never knew, of course; and didn’t think of looking. But thank you for taking my query seriously. I always appreciate information of this sort. I will be sure to take a listen…
Seeing Melinda made me wonder what kind of father Groucho was, Was he as humorous as a dad as he was as a comedian?
What a beautiful charming little girl.
I did NOT know related to Groucho..great young talent. Remember this was LIVE or live to tape.
A vegan from the 50s!! And he BREATHS! 😂
He didn't look 30. I thought he was 45.
I remember that song when it first came out!
Groucho meowing at 1:35 is going to be my new startup sound for my computer! =^.^=
FF11Freshstep Hm. I've noticed your hints about being a member of the Feline Family.. ;)
In deed only lol =^.~=
RIP Marianne :(
What a bummer! She died just three years ago. What a waste of beauty. At least it seems that she had a happy marriage.
I just love Grocho
Love it when Groucho can't finish saying his "welcome to YBYL" introduction. I always get a kick out of that.
You know she enjoyed doing that act.
Marianne Gaba, 15 films, modeling, and Playboy 1959. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marianne_Gaba. She spoke 4 languages. Back then, Playboy showed less skin than a modern underwear ad.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
George seriously distracted :) Don't blame him.
Groucho got the game big time! 😎
i love groucho
Mary Ann 18 years old. jesus.. what a bomb!!! Charlie Fox the Vegetarian is funny how people was making fun of him for having so healthy habits.. how everything has changed
That song that Groucho sang (can't pronounce it) was the same thing that the original Horton the elephant sang after hatching his egg. (Loved that cartoon)
Delightful. : )
4.20 he should hear what whining is dominating the 'record'industry TODAY! He would be happy with the music back then!
Love Charlie! What an interesting and unique man
I liked the flip side "I'm just sitting in a vacant lot with a bird sitting on my head"
Oh the daughter of Groucho...lol.
Melinda marx was the apple of groucho's eye
the rise of rock n roll...or the wishy washy comercial pop music that it quickly became from 1958 wouldve been a major shock coming for all the old aged singers
I was born in the wrong era. All the pretty ladies were around back in those days.
She looks like a mini Sally Fields !
Yes-- you're totally right. I always knew Melinda strongly reminded me of someone but I could never place who!
I totally agree. I also thought she reminded me of someone. Sally Fields - definitely yes!! And, in fact they're about the same age. Melinda Marx was born on 14 August 1946 and Sally Fields was born on 4 November 1946. Always a delight to see shows like that.
5:10 this man would HATE soundcloud rappers
What cute mannerisms
She was cool and cute.
I wonder why they cut short the recording of this show to 21 minutes. The previous show was 29 mins long.
hopefully turned ou well!
17:07 "a little room..." rofl
good for her!
She’s cute and funny lol
Groucho was the best
She tried so hard to get into show biz but nobody really wanted her. If groucho hadn't been the host she never would've gotten any tv time. This was still cute though. He loved that girl so much...
Notice how the teens then are incredibly more mature than those today? Like night and day. At least the hosts aren't near as sexist now.
Montgomery burns from the Simpson's would say excellent
Melinda was always cute but I think she's even cuter in her later appearances on the show with Gene Nelson and Bobby Van. I think that as she got older she lost interest in performing, as her show-business career has been very erratic since "YBYL" ended its original run in 1961.
Thank you for that, Bob. I am wondering how long Melinda stayed before the public. Her talent was not only fresh, but also quite innocently displayed, I think...
Where is Melinda today???...jan-2020
Blanca Miranda Dead. Brain tumor.
@@whiteclifffl wow...I was so hoping she still was living an wondered....its just in the last two yrs. I've tried to read everything I could find on GROUCH, EVEN THO IM IN MY 60S as a kid I didn't get it...now I appreciate the man an legendary performer 🥺❤
@@blancamiranda6661 Melinda Marx did *not* die of a brain tumor. She is very much alive in June, 2020.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melinda_Marx
Blanca Miranda Melinda Marx is still living, and long time married.
Melinda had a real "Marx" face, but oddly enough she also resembled a young Robert Blake.
Could you bring pictures of pretty girls then and now that were in the show to see what they look like now?
Cute little girl
She looks much older than 25.
They always did back then, strange.
i used to listen to that song Groucho refers to at 4:12 all the time! The Hut Sut song: ruclips.net/video/GYV-QpzJBD8/видео.html
California was already weird like that, wasn't it?
I wonder if this Charlie Fox was the manager of the San Francisco giants from the 60s and 70s
Nope
18?
That second woman was in NO WAY 25 years old! She was old! like 35 or 40!
About 43, And the man was About 48,,
@@tomcarpenter700ridiculous 😂 but your from another era😮
Sherman Oaks is smog free????
Roger thought that the singers were bad back then! He should be here now when it is much worse! I gave up a ticket to the Metropolitan Opera last May for their closing performance of the season. I had heard a broadcast of the same opera a few weeks before and most of the singers could not sing in tune! Very sad...
+Randy Sills And now we have fry screaming! Should I ask what you think of that?!
These people looked much older than 25 and 30.
It's called maturity 😂
From 1958 but looks like 1938.
Surprising how many Americans were recent immigrants in the 1950's.
It's after ww2 many migrated from their war torn countries 😢
All of these people dead, or in their 80’s, and 90’s.
😁❤️😁 The nut doesn’t fall far from the tree.
Nowadays you couldn't get away with all the sexist remarks Groucho did.
Groucho could .
In the past you could do a lot things in the present time is different moral you could get in trouble just adapt modern time judgments of the past is irrelevant we learn from our mistakes in the past move on
I love Groucho Marx and I love this show. But there is just one thing that annoys me. I know this is a show from the 1950's, but at some point in the shows run he began to act like a child and ridiculous when a pretty or beautiful female contestant would walk to the podium. He would greet them with growling and otherwise weird sounds to express his delight in seeing them. I mean even then that had to be disrespectful. I don't know how he got away with that.
He ,was doing that alot in His movies. So, people were kinda used to it. Plus .T.V. was relatively new and had not ruled out much of it. Woman's rights were also starting to be more prevalent .
1x
Actually Groucho was quite the grouch
Yolanda looks about 47.
Maturity of 😂
Linda marx had all the right connections,but she just could not sing good enough for america
Groucho surely loved his daughter!
Never had a steak or hamburger 🍔
