- Admittedly, the video title is going to be inexplicable without watching the show. Joe McTurk has nothing to do with it, but he's a real highlight, a fascinating character full of interesting stories. Groucho also gets a lot of mileage out of Carey Baldwin, who lived in a zoo. (!)
COUPLE #1: Adeline Rodriguez, "Tiger Woman" / Joe McTurk, bootlegger
COUPLE #2: Betty O'Hare, "freelance" student / Carey Baldwin, who lives in a zoo

Love the New York brawler! Great guy!
There’s never been anyone else to match Groucho’s level of instant classic wit.
Had to watch the Zoo interview twice the Zookeeper had a wonderful dry humour.
“I know this show is on late, but I think this is important enough for the mothers of America to go wake up their children.” Groucho is still hilarious and his guests are fascinating. Thank you posting YBYL. Watching 58 year old television is far better than watching today’s fare of banal and cynical tripe.
I learned of Grouch from the Howard Stern show and I find him hilarious. And I definitely wasn't alive at the time to see this on TV nor even close
AMEN. I watched Groucho as a child. Comforting to see him now. 🙏🏼❤️
people were feisty back in the day, they were polite but didn't take no guff, even from a big star like groucho. groucho was a brilliant conversationalist.
Groucho was one of a kind.
EVERYTHING Groucho Marx says is more than just witty -- it's some kind of genius.
"Really"
The beauty of his genius is that it is so simple. He is one fine interviewer, with the sense of timing that comes only from his unique background. These are treasures!
He surely is witty..n genius..🥰
I LOVE THESE SHOWS THEY'RE FUNNY ENTERTAINING THERE ARE NO MORE SHOWS LIKE THIS IN THIS DAY AND AGE
Groucho by far the funniest entertainer and show man to ever live and put him together with his brothers,priceless
He reminds me of Frank Zappa If frank were slightly prettier and a little more personable.
The Marx Bros, what a funny group that will never be topped or matched for sheer wit, and craziness.
i like the announcer....what a great voice
George Fenneman was in the movie the original The Thing. Small role
What a wonderful pleasure to watch these shows.
I felt so sorry for tiger woman - she knew the answer and that arrogant shorty got it wrong.
You could tell she was very disappointed.
As usual Groucho was terrific.
Something tells me you wouldn't say that to his face.
@@brazilianbhoy ...not more than once!
For what it's worth, he immediately offered to cover the difference of them missing the question to her
You’re absolutely right!!!!
Amazing gift of humor Groucho! He is leading the way for a big bundle of laughs
Mr. Joe McTurk led an interesting life, to say the least. He was nicely spoken and very polite to Adeline. She was a lively woman!
The short little jerk caused them to lose two thousand bucks . Adeline had the correct answer, but he gave his. He was a no nothing paper a- hole who thought he knew everything. She was clearly upset. Watch it again.
Joe McTurk is a classic.
I loved his accent and his turn of phrase and his body language.
Massive thank you from Liverpool, England. I’ve got a few pals also watching. Lovely stuff 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Mr. Joe McTurk bet he had a lot of life stories to tell.He was a real old time New Yorker back in them hustle and bustle times.
"Well Joe, it looks like you are not going to get the other fifty"
Betty was a catch. Smart, sophisticated, intelligent.
These shows are terrific. Thanks for posting!
You're very welcome!
Groucho Marx - You Bet Your Life seriously , thank you. i am 23 . never heard of him until today by mere coincidence. i feel like i’ve known him all my life and feel the void of his loss. thank you for sharing this for future generations to enjoy.
@@rigidlyrics6053 You called learn so much watching these classic shows. 😍👀
Can learn. Jeez
What a great quip: "Welcome to Your Bet Your Wife."
He sure had some very interesting people on this show.
I'm from northern California, so I loved that question about what state are Ukiah, Oroville, Crescent City, and Yuba City in.
Betty was not only a smart woman but was quite elegantly dressed. 9:55
noticed that too, she carried herself with class.
What a woman !!!! Posture perfect.
Tiger was a sweetheart...............And Betty O`Hare was just total class
I would have preferred hearing more from Betty. Classy lady.
love gettin' online and watching all these great shows, movies and clips from yesteryear ----------- neverending entertainment ---------- can't possibly get bored!
What a character Joe was. I enjoyed him and Tiger !!
Thank you for YBYL episodes! Brings back great memories. Love Groucho!
Louise Mathews My pleasure-- glad you enjoy the shows!
5:30 Johnny Dundee was Angelo Dundees older brother. Chris Dundee another brother was also a Boxing promoter. Angelo Dundee became a household name as he was Muhammed Ali's trainer.
Thanks for posting. Lots of laughs.
I love Groucho Marx...he s so funny..I never missed his show as a teenager..♥️
Joe McTurk mentions Scotty Monteith, who was a middle division boxer from 1929-1946, also a Boxing manager and promoter, known for his "Boxing Carnival" in the 1930s. It's almost definitely that Monteith because Joe also links him with Detroit. And Joe also refers to Johnny Dundee (a.k.a. Giuseppe Curreri), regarded by boxing historians as the first of the great Italian-American fighters. A world junior lightweight champion, Dundee had more than 330 fights in a 22-year career in the ring. You can get a lot of fact and history out of these old shows and characters.
@Combe Martian.....
Yes you can, most definitely!!
I have watched every YBYL that you have posted...thanked you a while back and want to express my appreciation again.
When you post these previously unseen episodes I am always anxious to watch them having never been disappointed hearing and seeing the great Groucho.Just read your comment re:posting twice weekly!Thank you very much in advance.
Groucho's wit is unmatched... STILL.
The shows are really good..Groucho is the best!!
kip murray
Adeline looks like she's in drag!!! Very masculine looking - love the show, just recently started watching it, Groucho is something else!! LoL
You watch too much TV
Groucho: “So, you live in the zoo? Well, who do you live with; the monkeys…… the elephants”?
Zoo Keeper: “No, I live with my wife.”
Groucho: “YOU STILL HAVEN’T ANSWERED MY QUESTION”! LOL
"I've seen a good many women in an dentist chair big as a hippo"!!!!
I don't understand why Groucho didn't talk more to Betty. She was beautiful and intelligent and also interesting. The Tiger lady was also a natural comedian as were the two men also in different ways. This show is fun! I never saw it on TV.
Thanks for upload. Unlike some relatives I know by accident, these are still very enjoyable.
It's like Peter Falk must have watched Joe McTurk and picked up his quirks and accent
You are so right!
Actually Falk was from NY and had "the accent"!!
From a column titled TV Scout Previews in the February 25, 1960 edition of the St. Petersburg Times newspaper:
Groucho Marx and You Bet Your Life continue to round up wonderful characters to play his game. Tonight, you'll meet Joe McTurk, a pint-sized ex-fighter with a thick New York accent; Adeline Rodriguez, a hefty lady whose husband calls her "tiger woman;" Carey Baldwin, who looks like Harry Truman and runs San Francisco's Zoo; and Betty O'Hare, a girl who's been to schools around the world. Besides comedy, this show continues to include educational nuggets from time to time; tonight, you'll learn from Baldwin how to take care of a hippo's toothache. 10 p.m. Ch. 8.
Joe McTurk - straight out of The Godfather
A one man production of Guys and Dolls.
"The racket boys..."
@@poetcomic1 Dude played in Guys and Dolls in '55 and died in '61 the year after this taped.
Enjoy watching These. Thanks for posting
Hard to imagine Joe McTurk died just a year and a half after this program.
w0w that last lady was sharp
She traveled the world, which majority of people didnt!!😊
Thank you for sharing Groucho.
McTurk died the next year,,,what a character.
Its year 2023 n groucho is still the funniest !
That zoo director was a hoot!
Joe McTurk is one cool guy
They don’t do television like this anymore. Pity. This fresh like it was recorded last week...
Well she put a smile on his face.
Thanks for this episode. Never saw this one before.
You gotta love Groucho
Ukiah, Oroville, Crescent City, and Yuba City... my neck of the woods! (I went to high school in Crescent City.)
You know Bobby and Steve stanchfield ?
Who doesnt love Grouchos wit ?
Anyone from the 70s and up, they don't " get it"!!
Joe was definitely a gentleman.
Joe Mcturk the pride of Hell's Kitchen, and Jimmy Cagney's beefed up pugilistic stand in.
WOW John W.....I'm impressed! Joe McTurk was also "Angie The Ox"in Guys'n'Dolls. What a "touch of the gutter" character he was as Cagneyhimself described those he remembered when receiving the AFI awardin 1972. I LOVE CAGNEY for acknowledging his roots in front of all those"stuffed shirts" at that ceremony honoring him. GOD BLESS HIM!! Thankyou John for taking the time to comment. Those "Damon Runyan" streetsare gone as well as the characters who walked them. As you can probablysurmise, my spirit will ALWAYS linger beside those men and women whomade it what it was.
Definitely a cagney type, both born and raised Brooklyn New York!!!
YBYL was such a risqué show for that time.
But it is almost all in the viewer's mind.
Wow, the old man fought in WWI! Crazy how old these shows go back in time. The old guy is probably in his mid 60s which would have made him a teenager during WWI. Its neat to hear how people talk from so long ago, especially from different parts of the usa. I'd love to hear someone from San Francisco born around 1900 to 1920 as they actually had a Brooklyn accent. They have all died out but my Grandfather had it. The old "Pock the Cah" and Bobbed Wire comes to mind. I was in my 20s when I realized it was Barbed wire as my family learned BOBBED from my Grandfather......my friends I grew up with all said the same thing. Sad that accent is gone now.
The Pock the Car is a Boston, Massachusetts accent. My mom and I used to eat at a fine dining restaurant every Saturday night, and they were always there too, and we all became friends.
The accent is alive and well, hasn't been lost at at all. 😊
1:00 I recognized that guys face the minute he came out. He's a character actor. I've seen him in movies before.
How can you lose with the name Tiger Woman !!
Hysterical momma stashes the doe right away in her treasure chest..lol
I grew up on this show.
You don't see comedy like this anymore. All the millennial comics talk about bodily functions.
@Aly H Don't forget Jack Benny, Burns and Allen, Red Skelton, and Jackie Gleason too.
Tiger seems like a fun girl.....i bet her husband is a happy man!
20:23 Val Valiant? What are you laughing about! 😂
wow. It's interesting if I recall correctly. I think Joe McTurk passed away not long after this. 1961
That second lady was very attractive
The couple at the end that lady was beautiful and so smart 10/10 (the one with the crazy zoo guy)
Dear Lord, Hilarious!
Women had something about them back then that today’s women lack .
One thing they didn't have was a bunch of rediculous tattoos.
Their capacity to take endless misogynistic shit from men has certainly dwindled, gosh dammit
I believe it's called "femininity".
I am surprised the contestant Betty O' hare wasn't married
Did you ever notice how comics in this era could be funny without telling one political joke. That would never happen today.
Robert Or foul language!
Groucho wasnt a comic, He was a master entertainer.
@@Groucho-tg1tx A MASTER of his Craft.
Clove the show is the greatest of thanks
Wonderful contestants
People were better educated back then.
We read BOOKS.
Gary, loving these YBYLs from around 1960. The whole series is great but it seems Groucho was even hitting higher peaks as he got older. I wonder if this series was shopped around to the other webs or syndicators when NBC cancelled it?
The show was offered to CBS, who wanted it retooled. "Tell It To Groucho" was the result, which ran from January to May the following season. It was pretty terrible. The format itself deserves most of the blame, which is surprising because John Guedel was such an astute producer. The one change he made (or allowed to be made) which I will never, ever, ever understand was replacing George Fenneman with the bimbette of all time, Joy Harmon. The less said about her the better. I've seen about 5 episodes of "Tell Ii To Groucho", and they haven't inspired a great desire in me to see more. But I'll probably post those shows when I run out YBYL shows to post.
This is Gary.....right? I remember Joy Harmon quite well. I had a TV in my room.
Joe Postove Why are you in doubt? Yes, it's me.
You may be the main Grouchite, but I wanted to be sure it was the MAIN Marxian!
Joy Harmon: washing a car in Cool Hand Luke, teasing Johnny Crawford in Village of the Giants ... and not much else other than eye candy for the typical red-blooded American male.
Replacing George Fenneman with the likes of her was a travesty. I thought there was a tremendous loss of chemistry without George with the one British show you posted. I will take your word for it that she was horrendous. I have to wonder how badly Groucho and Guedel wanted to stay on the air in the worst way ... and that's what they apparently got..
According to Wikipedia, she was a guest on You Bet Your Life during its last season. Is that part of your collection or is it part of the DVD collections with which you don't compete? (Or neither?)
Sorry to have said more about her. :-(
Tiger woman looks like tiny tim the singer sister
I can definitely say this show was at the time concieved for a mature audience.
The money on this show was very good for the times, considering my parents bought their house in 1975 for around $15000, $2000 on the wheel in 1960 is quite a sum.
It was enough to buy a smaller new car I think.......
I've seen Joe in an old black and white classic boxing movie in which he portrayed a boxing manager but I can't recall the name of the movie.
The movie was entitled " The Street With No Name."
Good one
Joe was the real deal, none of that was bs
Would have liked to hear George’s life story ,
Don't think I'll ever play cards with a Joe Mcturk. He'll beat you all the time, legit or otherwise.
Tiger Woman looks a bit like Tiny Tim. :)
Sheila B Adeline is a beautiful woman, with a very sweet personality.
It is Tinys first time out!
That was my thought too! 😁
Groucho was spot on while trying to get a contestant to say the secret word? That former boxer had a unique way of speaking too. He would have made a great stand up comedian if he wrote his own jokes like rodney...
Brooklyn accent 😊
Best ellipses ever. "Tiger woman loves Poop..."
Why is this so funny (from England)
Neville Chamberlain wearing glasses is always funny. He smokes the Cigar to demonstrate to Winston Churchill that he still has friends in the house. Actually, Nevilles jokes were usually edited out of his speeches, too Marxist.
Because it's so down to earth and honest? Groucho would take the p out of anyone who was pompous.
Guests were so well dressed in those days.
I found out some more about the reason that YBYL came to an end and the successor show, Tell it to Groucho, came to be.
According to IMDB, the producers of YBYL wanted to take financial advantage of YBYL's long run and package it for syndication. At the time, it was unheard of to syndicate reruns of a show that were still airing new episodes. Why settle for leftovers when you can have a fresh meal. So they changed the name, changed the contest format and generally took things from great to mediocre.
Also IMDB's notes on the successor show indicated that George Fenneman was no longer available when the new show was being worked out. He took the opportunity to host another short-lived CBS clunker game show, "Your Surprise Package". It was a misstep for a number of people who went on to bigger and better things. Besides Fenneman, the show had Bern Bennett as announcer, Carol Merrill as model and Allan Sherman was the producer.
Joy Harmon and Jack Wheeler were young contestants during the last season of YBYL. With Fenneman presumed unavailable (his new show didn't make it into 1962), they were hired to serve as Groucho's assistants, but it would appear that Wheeler only handled that chore during the first episode that aired and Harmon did the rest. To be fair to her, she had almost no experience at the time (not that there's much indication she would have done much better years later). Apparently she is more capable as a baker in her business as the owner of Aunt Joy's cakes. She is 76 years old now and according to the website of the business, she is still active in it along with her children.
IMDB information has be taken with a pillar of salt. CBS specifically requested young foils for Groucho when they demanded the format be retooled. There's no sensible reason why George would have been unavailable for a one hour taping that required no advance preparation. He was in LA, after all.
It's not clear to me when Jackson Wheeler was dropped-- but probably after the first show. I think it **could** have worked to have a pretty young female assistant as Groucho's foil. but Joy was just insufferably dumb. I can hardly stand to hear her talk. I have to assume that part of this was an act. I have to hope she isn't REALLY this dumb! Especially given that she's been running her own business successfully. But the most cringeworthy thing I've seen with her and Groucho is that episode of YBYL she was on before "Tell It To Groucho". Groucho fawned all over her, remarking about her gift for comedy (he'd seen her in a show). I've rarely seen any performers with less natural talent, or a more grating public persona (which I hope wasn't the real Joy!)
Hi Lois...I have seen your comments before regarding YBL. My computerruns my words together so please excuse. I am 74 years old now and mylittle brother and I were on Jackson Wheeler's local TV show in Los Angelesaround 1952-53...early early days of LIVE late night local shows. My fatherwas a sponsor with a product called Sea & Sand. It was a packet type soap,that's all I remember. Anyway, we stood in the wings until Mr. Wheeler calledus out for his commercial. When he asked us about our father and the soap,we drew a blank. He then explained to his viewers what it was. Needless tosay, we were never invited back on again. He sat at a desk wearing heavymake-up under very hot lighting. His son Jack Jr. I believe was lost and never found on an expedition (he was an adventurer) in the 60's? Anyway,I made my television debut before just about all of them...haha. Grouchois "THE ONE AND ONLY!" I'm happy to share this with you! Thanks & GOD bless you. Rick Kellman
Maybe that’s why hippos kill so many people in the wild , a simple toothache!
Joe McTurk looks an awful lot like Hank Hill's dad. I wonder...
Yeah, he really looks exactly like him!! Even his mannerisms match- good eye!
tackyman2011 someone message Mike Judge
This show aired in 1960 and he died in 1961.
You ain't lying !!
@@LIBICU812 He looked so fit. What did he die of?
I sure do wish that Joe McTurk had talked about his service in WWI.
No time for war stories, people were tired of war and killings.
Those town questions are so easy.
And when the flag had less than 50 stars.
Back then majority of folks left school at 6th grade. So they weren't easy questions!!
Back in the day, at the fleishhacker zoo in San Francisco (1970's) you were allowed to feed Zoo Animals as guests, my GF and I would to to SF Grocery stores and get dated produce for free to feed Zoo animals, Other Zoo guests would follow us around as we fed Melons to the Hippo's tossed grapes and bananas into the monkey compound, Sadly, my last visit to SF, to pier 39 featured Deuce droppings on the sidewalk, and We will never return.
Adeline reminds me of a female Tiny Tim.
She looks like Tiny Tim.
I thought the same thing Tiny Tim
As a man or as a woman, Tiny Tim was far uglier than her.
Joe Mac is back lol
