Melba was an absolute doll. She told that joke on live TV like a total pro. And oh! the look on her face when Groucho asked for a trombone. But then...she played it! I'm a pro trombonist, but I've never played a solo on national TV. HAHA. And then...her going weak kneed over Fenniman. Priceless.
The Melba Taylor/Safety First segment of this show is an absolute joy to watch and listen to. While Safety seems a very engaging chap with a good sense of humour, it's Melba who steals the show. Her interaction with Groucho and George is so funny and very endearing. For good measure she also plays the trombone, tells a joke and nails all the questions! I suppose Melba will almost certainly have passed on by now. She didn't want to be a "nobody", so it's nice that, thanks to the internet, she's achieved a sort of immortality and I'm sure she'll still be enhancing people's lives for many years to come.
Danny Weil eventually became a world renowned sailor. He was co-founder of the Yasme Foundation. He was the first to transmit radio signals from multiple locations, via sailboat. He lived a remarkable life.
Melba made me cry thinking of my mom! "I'm not good at anything but I've just got to do something" then proceeds to tell a joke, play music, and absolutely kills the audience. Groucho too had me laughing through the tears!
Melba taylor is one of the most friendly person I ever seen , she is very nice, kind , sweet woman, we need more real ladies like Mrs Taylor, the world would be a heavenly place to live in if there were more beautiful people like Mrs. Melba taylor , Jesus bless you.
"Mrs. Smith... I see here on your card that you have 13 children. How do you account for that?" "Well... Groucho, I love my husband." "Well, I love my cigar but I take it out of my mouth once in awhile." Groucho Marx - absolutely One of a Kind.
melba taylor ...star....priceless...in retrospect contestants are under appreciated and not compensated very well..i mean how much is humor worth...these are just regular people...
Melba has become one of my Favorite Guests on Groucho’s show!!
Five Stars. Hands down perhaps the finest segment ever. Everyone was utterly taken.......

Melba, what a gift. ❤ I feel like she gets no attention, happy to be around happy people on the show, play with the band. What a great personality
What wonderful vision this was. Melba is an absolute delight.

Nice! Appreciate that.
Great to know that. Danny really did a career change. He did speak at length about sailing.

I can understand Melba been overwhelmed at meeting George , he certainly is a handsome man with one of the most beautiful voices on television .
EXCELLENT ❤❤❤❤❤
I love it when George gets Flustered. He was so Handsome. And all the women contestants knew and felt it. I Love this show,! Its the BEST!

Groucho hope the humanity remembers you for all eternity 🙏
Melba was so sweet and funny and kind of eccentric. I wonder if she ever got the fame she desired.
Yes he was so handsome and 😊I lik e when he said she's not here today.😂❤
Love interaction and laugh s
Why don't I meet someone like Melba
Groucho's daughter was named Melinda Marx.
Melba was a great personality she should have got a tv job too late now
American women in the fifties were lovely
I wonder if Danny and that lovely lady contestant ever got together.
Everybody taking part in the video is dead. Melba, Safety First, Groucho, the audience... etc. But it's such a moving video!
How can you know Melba is dead? She looks pretty young in the video. It's possible that's she still living.
Melba Toast.
Melba Taylor plays hard at being ditzy, but she sure knows her music
She does???????
Victor you are a bum , you don't know a great woman when you see one , Melba taylor is great lady
A great contestant , I wonder did she have any success with her lyric writing , only that would be a highly competitive field .
These people are all dead now.
