- Looks like Rowena started a trend.
P.S.: I still miss the duck.
NOTE: The very beginning of this episode was cut off from this copy. Sorry about that!
COUPLE #1: Thelma Smith, from England (that's just about all we learn about her) / Philip Karp, bass player with the San Francisco Symphony
COUPLE #2: June Adler, National Wine Queen / Glenn Turnbull, owner of a tailor shop, who does a crazy-legs dance to the song "Ballin' The Jack"

Episode identification and basic description based on "Tell 'em Groucho Sent You", © 1997 by Mark Petty. Used by permission.
I love his dancing ❤ he’s incredible! Reminds me of Buddy Ebsen
Yes, I had the same impression
I could watch this show all day wish this was on tv today. It would top the ratings. Groucho your a star can never be replaced. Iam still laughing. What a great show.
The internet has many many faults but one of the great things about it is, it is a way of preserving all these old shows for future generations.
IMHO, Groucho was the funniest man who ever lived. His brand of humor was so far ahead of its time that it still stands up to today's raunchy, and political "comedy."

I'm 75 from Boston MAssachusetts now in Philippines and am loving it here watching Groucho !!!!
I LOVE THIS SHOW !! It's so much more than a quiz show, it's a colorful juicy slice of CLASSIC American culture..and Groucho is a National treasure ! I've been watching as many of them as my time permits...
it's such a boost
Thank you so much for posting it !!!
I agree. But Zeusgrl? I love that! That’s a great name!
Can't stop watching so entertaining⭐🎥🎬
agree, not only were they great shows but a time capsule as well.
There's a lot of things I like about the show. He can be funny/entertaining and get the guests cranked up and he always has a hot woman as one of the guest or else she's going to be entertaining as all heck. Great show, great choice of guests, win, win situation.
Would have liked to have seen Crazy Legs Turnbull and Crazy Legs Rowenda dance together!
Fire!
Helmets and shin guards would be required
@@ErnestTeeBass they have to wear guards, they'd injure themselves otherwise. From a helmet on down 👇. But I bet it would be something to see.

I've been watching these for years, on and off. Groucho is a hoot. So quick and funny!
His quick, biting wit is unparalleled, even to this day!
I'd of liked to have a few drinks with him. I bet that would of been a blast. Probably get in fights, lol.
use to watch these gems throughout my lifetime and makes me long to be young again --------- i'd go back in a heartbeat!
I’m not even close to being from this time, but boy do I love watching this era. If you find a way to go back may I please go with?
@@RJBYou'll be the first i'll notify!
If you are going back to those times I want in on that too. I'm not doing much of anything around here, well I do take care of my puppy. Ok if I can take him with us. He'll love you guys. Man that would be a great time. Then after that we'd catch the beatniks and then the hippies. Wow, what a strange trip it be. Whew
The opening exchange is so funny and genius from Groucho. He clearly knew straight away that he did not play baseball but kept at it with so many add on jokes.
Groucho's wit was the greatest.
Buddy Ebsen (among other very talented tap dancers) and Ray Bolger were doing crazy/rubber leg dances back in the 30's. That was one reason they were cast in Wizard of Oz. (Of course, Bolger replaced Ebsen as the Scarecrow and then Ebsen was the Tin Man and nearly died from the original makeup concoction.) But DANG, that guy's dancing was pretty cool IMHO.
The "eccentric dancer" was common throughout the 19th and early 20th century.. Long forgotten now. Groucho himself did some eccentric dancing as part of his character portrayals.
Jack Haley replaced Buddy Ebsen.
I knew Ebsen was going to be the original Tin Man, but I never knew he'd been the original Scarecrow before Bolger.
I love the show and how they manage to let the candidates shine
Met her at the cemetery? That was quite an undertaking.
thanks for all your work loading these great old shows.
groucho really on his game this night.
mr. karp. "i met her at a picnic at the old cemetery in gold hill nevada." (historic site)
groucho. "that was quite an undertaking i'll bet..."
to mrs. adler. "well after you get him half loaded on the cheap wine, what do you give him for dinner? jello and milk?"
"he isn't quiet, he's half drunk."
"i'd like to help you make wine sometime, you can squeeze the grapes and i'll squeeze you, and if we hear a cork popping, that'll be your husband.... better known as the grapes of wrath." pure groucho.
"after 17 years there's more incense than nonsense... voltaire."
great tap routine by mr. turnbull, a dying/dead art. hilarious watching him try to catch his breath afterward. he was 41 years old here and would be on many shows from the late 1950's and early 1960's.
Crazy Legs or the hilarious Pedro Gonzalez - Groucho had a weakness for what they used to call 'novelty dancers' in old vaudeville. Groucho himself ws one of the funniest of 'funny dancers' himself.
Love her suit..elegant! Looks like something Edith Head would design.
Edith Head's appearance on this show is a classic. Her grace and strength is real feminism. She was not egotistical at all, so humble and charitable. Accomplished so much but treated others with respect and deference. Class!
Was Groucho the first great talk show/game show host? I think so!
Groucho had a brilliant brain sort of comic and person you would want to live forever - total one off genius 😁
This Dancer looks like Norm Macdonald.
This is fabulous!! CrazyLegs is right!!
Groucho was hilarious!
"I'm first base for the San Francisco Symphony."
"Have you always been a ball player?"
Kind of a mix between Rowena and tap dancing. His face at the end of the dance reminded me of the crazy eyed guy that Groucho was afraid of in an earlier episode.
Good description of the dancing!
He reminded me of the late great "Hal LeRoy"
Rowena is much better
“June may be followed by Groucho.” June Adler speaking about getting ready for her DH reminds me of the Jack Jones song “Time to get Ready for Love” (Hey, little girl, comb your hair, fix your makeup ... run to his arms whenever he comes home to you). She was so sweet in her interview. Crazylegs was very smooth and entertaining.
This was a great show; it is sad to consider what we had then for entertainment, and what is considered a popular show now, in 2021.
She looks a lot like Jessica Lange!
I like the Brit lady. Bright and down to earth.
Gorgeous ballet dancer.
This one had to have been rehearsed; that studio band couldn't have had such a tight arrangement of "Ballin' the Jack" -- complete with breaks for his tap-dancing solos -- prepared and at their fingertips.
The lost art of crazyleg dancing.
I hope these vids don't get deleted in the upcoming scheduled RUclips purge!
Here is Glenn's obit in 2009. articles.dailypilot.com/2009-03-05/news/doc49b013d032df4605736623_1_tennis-director-newport-beach-tennis-balboa-bay-club
In this episode he said he was married for 17 years. He wound up being married for an incredible 66 years to his wife Betty. Betty passed away in 2010, one year after Glenn
well i'll be damned! this is a brand new fact to me. we hear at about 5:15, for the first time in these season 10 episodes, that the question groups were different colors too! something would never have known otherwise since this is in b&w =^.~=
Man, when i hear people in their 70's-80's saying that women were virtuous and pure, then i watch this show and realize the women were just as wild as today🤣🤣🤣
always loved the Marx Bros. and Groucho was the Moe Howard of the bunch ---------- Groucho had a little devil in his heart cause he sure liked them young hot ones ---------- he got off on that!
That dance was actually pretty cool. But I'd rather be wiping out a bottle of wine with the Wine Queen

The dancer gave the best impression of Ruby Keeler I’ve ever seen!
Crazy Legs! Great!
Think i seen every show😂love me some Groucho💓
The good ole days..18 and asking mom
That looks like me when I am leaving a bar.
TheHaratashi and
@@evelynbanker2090 How
Pretty cool that he’s first bass in SanFran. At this time, I think the music director was probably Pierre Monteux….a truly great conductor.
Groucho's crack about "Suddenly Last Summer" and "Eat the People" went over most folks' heads, but if you know what he was referring to, it's actually a pretty witty reference.
so please explain it to me ... the ignorant
@@martinjones5965 In 1959 the film adaptation of the Tennessee Williams play "Suddenly Last Summer," which deals graphically with the disastrous consequences of repressing sexuality (especially gay sexuality), there's a scene where a gay pimp, who has been using women as “bait” to lure men, gets attacked and cannibalized by a group of vengeful youths. It's one of the darkest and most disturbing scenes in all of American cinema.
Quite some dancing there Crazy Legs~!
Dan Ackroyd did a close approximation of this dance in The Blues Brothers.
"I play bass viol."
"No reason to be so humble, I'm sure your not as vile as you think you are."
HA!
Hahahah! He was a comic genius!
Crazy legs guy sort of looks like an older Norm McDonald, great dancer.
The genius in “no wonder they call them the Giants” is so punny
I've watched every episode here on RUclips. There are still many more that are not here if this show ran for 10 years. Where are the other episodes?
That second young lady looks like the perfect wife, beautiful and domestic.
That was awesome
🔹️ 62 years ago.
The crazy leg guy looks like norm McDonald
Crazy legs starts at 15:06..
You’re welcome!
Crazy Eyes Marx looks at Crazy Legs Turnbull
The ballet dancer coming out was pretty funny.
She says the secret word and he gets the money.
Look closely, they were both handed a bill ($50 each)
Crazy legs
Get the duck back!!! :( (Sorry. I have nothing against pretty girls, but frankly, I think the duck suits the show better.)
***** Perhaps the girls was a sign of changing times, but they weren't necessary for the popularity of this show. Btw, one doesn't need a time machine to climb the loft getting a prop... ;)
***** Well, not all of us are lazy, and props can be very useful to explain things to certain people who else wouldn't understand. ;)
***** Now I don't follow you, unless your last reply was meant as a joke? My answer wasn't meant to be taken seriously, nor did I take your reply about "Prop climber" seriously either. I'm really confused now. Shouldn't we agree about that we don't share the same form for humour, and just leave it there? ;)
***** Said the one who just indirectly didn't count himself among those having a superior attitude... Hm! I do still wish they got the duck back, though. ;D
***** In this particular case, oh yeah! ;)
3m24s - fancy an official question being what Groucho asked the a future president as a joke about 2 shows ago where the young guy said "Its being crooked the right way".
KRAZY LEGS IZ MI LUVA
close, but no cigar Groucho!
SUDDENLY LAST SUMMER , I heard and got that
I are so proud of ya'all!
Notice the lady from England called it soccer ,not football.
A minor irritant of mine is when Europeans chide Americans for their use of the English language.
Sometimes they forget their own history
19m37s I would have said "11 because it's already up there".
15:08 🕺💃🏼🕺💃🏼🕺💃🏼🕺🕺
The musician "I play bass viol". THat was an easy set up for Groucho.
Look at Ksenia Parkhatskaya dancing and compare it to crazy legs.
Thelma Smith looks like Susan Boyle forgive the spelling.
I can't do that and I am not quite 27!
does the first lady look like Susan Boyle to any one but me?
I saw a couple Michael Jackson moves
He's smarter
🥸
19:18 - bad edit
Uh, no It's not a "bad edit"-- it's the best edit possible given what was left of the program in the recording I had to work with, after removing the modern day commercial break. But thanks so much for your appreciation and insight. Why don't you post a version with a better edit? Oh? You don't have one? That's right.
Groucho Marx - You Bet Your Life Silly man, that comment wasn't directed to YOU, Mr. Poster, but what I thought was edited by the original YBYL show editors!!! You see, your edit was so flawless that I wouldn't have EVEN GUESSED that YOU edited and removed the commercials! Apology accepted. :-P
MUSICOM PRODUCTIONS How could I possibly have misinterpreted a two word comment, "bad edit". Man, am I nuts. Honestly, who did you *think* edited the modern day commercials out of these reruns?
But I'm glad you're now calling the "bad" edit flawless (which it isn't, it's just the best I could do with the material I had to work with.) And kind of you to accept an apology I never offered.
***** You Bet Your Life! The secret word is "SILLY". (sorry, your episode gets the duck that comes down rather than the starlet on the trapeze) ;-)
@@grouchomarx-youbetyourlife7476 Just ignore people that don't appreciate all of the hard work that you do here. For every one jerk, like "MUSICOM PRODUCTIONS
", there are one hundred fans that adore and TRULY APPRECIATE all that you do in bringing this classic bit of Americana to us all. 👌
Fred Astaire, he ain't.
He was terrific
@@abelincoln3287 I concur Abe. BTW, love the shades
Sometimes Groucho's interrupting guest and rudeness get on the nerves. If I'd be on the show and he'd talk to me like he did the Bass player for the Philharmonic I may have just thrown my hands up in disgust and walk away I'm surprised that through all those years George Fennerman never told Groucho to pipe down.
Tony Cevallos Comedians get away with insulting people, they pass it off as a joke even when they mean it and everyone laughs.He calls her husband a bum and that's supposed to be funny, pretty insulting to me , even as a joke to a young woman.
It's a comedy show, you moron...
Tony Cevallos people had patience and manners back then. They are on his show.
Tony Cevallos don’t watch the show if you don’t understand the humour
Tony, I had a grandfather who was a railroad conductor. He teased people. On the surface, it was an insult. But underneath it was life-affirming. Please develop a thicker skin. Grouthcho was
Sammy Davis Jr did the same thing, but with more talent.
armybeef68, I saw both routines and this guy did it better.
Awkward
F
There will be another. Donald John Trump.
