I do exactly the same. After a stressful day and all the bad things we hear in the news all the time, such as shooting s, it is refreshing to watch the Groucho show by the end of the day. It puts a smile on my face.
Most of the world would do itself the same favor by ending the day that way - the rest of the world would be flummoxed by it all. This is such a wonderful program, impossible for it to 'get old'!
Michael Wayne, oldest of John's 7 children, would soon head the family production company Batjac responsible for his father's films. His wish for children led to five during his 45-yr marriage to Gretchen.
You Bet Your Life is one of my favorite things to watch on the internet I always get a laugh watching Groucho and you can learn some things from the quizzes
A stiff mayor, a hula dancer, and a vaudevillian master, all in a line. It's like the March of Progress drawing that shows ape evolving to man, only with dancing.
At 14:06 "Welcome to the world's most meshugenah show!" That means 'crazy' in Yiddish. This is not the first time Groucho used Yiddish and clearly referred to his Jewish heritage, synagogues, rabbis etc. It wasn't done much then. He was once refused a guest visit to swim at a 'restricted' country club because he was Jewish and asked if his daughter Melinda could go into the wading pool up to her waist because she was half Jewish.
Haaa...yes, have heard of that particular incident. And Groucho's response is just great wit and comedic command of the situation. Being half Jewish/Catholic....could well gather the lesson's that Groucho and others went through, before me..
You can sure hear the sounds of The Ole Country shining through Groucho as he mixes a bit of Yiddish-&-German into the show. Groucho's father was from Alsace where French and German are spoken.
"Napua" isn't pronounced "nah-pew-ah", but "nah-pooh-ah" - but she's either too polite or too cautious to correct Groucho. I met Napua Woodd (spelled with two D's) when she was quite elderly and was in the early stages of Alzheimer's, but she was wonderfully funny regardless. She was a comedy performer.
Groucho was 68 years old in this one! I am younger and couldn't do that! I've often wondered what his I Q was? I think it had to have been pretty remarkable .
It wasn’t so much a horrible person as he vacillated between being right by wing but led a liberal private life. He was quite vocal about patriotism but never put on a uniform.
@@caroler01 He had a very bad knee injury that ended his football career. I imagine it would be a problem in the armed forces. With 4 kids and just starting a new career you did what you could to survive. There was no unemployment or disability in those days. I was never in the service either but I am very patriotic! What happened to you??? Venezuela and Cuba would probably suit your communistic beliefs better. Why don’t you give it a try???
@@stevej398 Wow. Unemployment and disability are socialist policies. Not Communism. So there is that. No one said he wasn’t patriotic. You should not feel bad for not having been in the services. 20 years U.S. Air Force does lead to a point of view. For not having served, you sure have a hair trigger.
@@caroler01 Yep! I had a father that was in the Air Force Reserve for 27 years. I was the oldest boy who took the abuse. So, yes I do have a hair trigger about a lot of things I believe in. I feel sorry sometimes for the people who get in the way of it, sometimes.
Who says the adults in the 50's and early 60's didn't know how to have a good time? This put a genuine smile on my face.
The last thing l do before bed time is to watch Groutha, he makes my day!
Not a bad way to end the day..
Same

Who is Groutha?

It's great to see Groucho mixing the poi. I laugh out loud when I see his antics. Thanks for posting.

One could see Napua Wood was a good dancer. With a perfect rhythm, and in perfect control with her muscles.
The hula: the best mayoral campaign ever! Davis wins by a landslide 😂

WoW, turns out Groucho is the first rapper doing "Sing a Song of Sixpence."
George is the Best looking man, ive ever seen as a announcer on TV. WOW!! I love Groucho hes the Best Host of all time! But George!!?
lol Groucho rapping 20 years before it was invented in the mid 1970's.
"Keep the payments on the washing.-machine" In my childhood's Denmark in 57 we only had a big kettle!

he used more german than yiddish in his shows tho. i hear him speak german very often
poetcomic1 he also speaks German fluently.
@@miclazy-5m His father was from Alsace where French and German are spoken.
Boy how times changed, Groucho asks the husband what does he think of his wife working? Lol
Love “these” commercials. Too bad there not like this today!
Today's commercials have side effects THAT WILL KILL YOU
Romina Productions produced two films. Both starred Victor Mature. Escort West and China Doll. Mike produced several of his father’s movies.
RIP Michael Wayne...................
Raw talent at its best 👌

'Nein!' No, we only want it once..lol
Few people could answer the nursery rhyme questions these days.

David LoganSr Not really iam 70 and I dance, sing, have all my marbles..
He is so blazing fast.
IT JUST GOES 2 SHOW HOW INTELLIGENT THE CALIFORNIA POLITICIANS ARE THE MAYOR DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THE ANSWER RODENTS WOW
That goes to show them, some people think John Wayne was a horrible person. If he was, how could he have a nice, respectful son like Michael.

@@stevej398 I am really sorry to hear that. Truly. But I like your sense of humor watching Groucho.
She was graceful
"George finds a lot of these interesting guests.
Bwahahaha!!! John Wayne's son......
