Deadpan comedy is probably the hardest comedic skill to master. Very few people are gifted enough to pull it off so successfully and naturally. Those who say Mr Gonzales was perpetuating stereotypes, they obviously don’t know comedy. This man is putting on a clinic.
He's a Titan.
Yeah, his deadpan was awesome..
Had the great Groucho busting up!! 😮
When you throw Groucho for a loop...guest is top notch.
Boy, that deadpan delivery is fantastic. Groucho may have met his match with this man.
" 2 people in the act and I get 3rd place!" Classic Groucho.
He made Groucho laugh,very few have managed that.
Groucho laughing is just about the cutest thing I've ever seen.
This is comedy gold. Both men are super quick and hilarious. Groucho clearly likes him.
"Pedro Gonzalez Gonzalez (May 24, 1925 - February 6, 2006) was an American character actor best known for his appearances in a number of John Wayne movies."
~Wikipedia
Groucho in his book called him his favorite contestant of all time. He never once cracks a smile, a real pro with a natural sweetness that gave him a Harpo quality.
It is amazing that he can keep his deadpan going--he's just so funny.
I agree!
He is or was so funny, i have seen his performance several times
you would have to be pretty funny to make Groucho laugh
He only laughed twice on the show. I've read his brother Zeppo could always crack him up.
Groucho was so quick-witted.
"Two people in the act, and I get third billing!"
There will never be another like him
Brilliant line.
I know people give him a lot of shit for the end Bc he was kind of losing it (as if that’s his fault) but he still was way more quick witted then most 20 year olds in his 80s. The cold feet line itself wasn’t like the most insane joke I’ve ever heard but it was way more his timing and delivery and how fast he threw it out
"9 years" he says and the nod of the head as if to say "phew". The best unconscious comedian ever and what a foil for Groucho.
Very conscience. Comedy like this takes considerable skill.
Mr. Gonzalez was a very nice man and had a good life as a character actor. He and his wife both died in 2006
sorry to hear that .
Ramiro [NOT Ramino!] was a natural talent, and while he did a tremendous amount of television, I only wish he had been cast in more films. His role as Carlos the inn-keeper, opposite John Wayne in Rio Bravo, is absolute perfection. Only half as tall as Wayne, Ramiro [by 1959 billed commonly as Pedro Gonzalez-Gonzalez] commands the screen in all their scenes together; Wayne knows it, and gives him plenty of room to perform. In fact, this appearance with Groucho led to him signing with Wayne's production company, Batjac, the start of a working relationship that lasted for two decades. Although played here for laughs, the story of meeting his wife, dancer Leandra Aguirre in 'San Antone,' is entirely true. They remained together until his passing in 2006.
Lord how I love Groucho, those looks he gives and his perfect timing!
Groucho was a true genius and legend. We need more comedians like Groucho. Love the Marx brothers
I have seen this episode more than once and always had a good laugh. Also, I shared this show with my grown up children and they laughed louder than me. What a treat for life eh?
Even Groucho got a good laugh. I think he didn't mind being upstaged by Gonzalez.
Good stuff never gets old.
Just saw Mr. Gonzalez-Gonzalez in I Died a Thousand Times on TCM's Noir Alley. Eddie Mueller said to check out his appearance on You Bet Your Life, which made that possible. Thank you for posting.
I saw it too. Recorded it on my DVR. Gonzalez Gonzalez and Pard were the best actors in the movie.😊
never heard of this bloke before. he's great. he and groucho play off each other brilliantly.
Watch a few late1950s-early 1960s John Wayne westerns, and you'll see him.
@@701CPD nice things happen to nice people in this nice world... Made me happy for them. Wish more good people got noticed.
Absolutely one of best acts on Groucho's show. I saw it live. I am old! Google this guy. Awesome career.
How awesome. Would have loved to see these shows live. I'm not that far behind you but missed most of the shows in the sixties. Was too young and we played outside back then.
Born during WW2. That makes me old. Thanks for kind comment.
@@speedydry Hope you see this, my hats off to you.
Yup
He's so sincere ! I love it !
This is hilarious! Watched it several times. John Wayne saw this and put him in the movies which he ended up with a star on walk of fame.
John Wayne thought he was the funniest comedian since Chaplin.
Yes I recognize him “I bring you some more shells.”
Can’t stop watching 👍 when he starts dancing, I lose it 🤣🤣🤣
I’m in love 😂🥰
Thirty years after vaudeville was dead in most of America there was still a Southwest Chicano Vaudeville circuit still going where Gonzalez perfected his style the same was the Marx Brothers did a generation before. Groucho's favorite guest.
I wish, oh I wish, TV was once again this entertaining.
This guy was a riot!
Have a hard time believing it was not prearranged, but if it wasn’t Man oh man, a natural 1000%
He was a professional vaudevillian touring the American southwest for years and years before he met Groucho. After this appearance John Wayne called him and offered him a ten year film and television contract with his production company.
OMG! I laughed so hard watching that! Thanks for posting. Better than a cup of coffee to start my day...
I saw this show. He won the most money, and also, was given a Hollywood contract, and he was in several western movies.
Me G.Gonzales is absolutely fabulous. The best laughn that I have had in years✌️😀👌👍✌️

Pedro Gonzalez - Groucho's favorite all time guest. He was a professional who worked the still surviving Hispanic vaudeville circuit in South Texas and thereabouts. It was a vaudeville world Groucho knew from his youth of dancers, comics, singers, dare-devils etc. that was long gone in the rest of America.
I enjoy seeing my people on early T.V. and so much charisma on film...put the P in Professional⭐🎥🎬😎
@@blancamiranda6661 is inj
I
Yes yes it was, Vaudeville has such a horrible history surprised you’re acting like that’s a shame
I have watched this dozens of times. It’s still as funny as the first time. Two comic geniuses!
He had one of the most recognizable faces and voices in all of Hollywood's character actors.
Gonzalez Gonzales was an actor. He was in a few John Wayne movies like "Rio Bravo" and "Rio Lobo". He actually had a pretty big role in "Rio Bravo" as the owner of the hotel.
John Wayne was watching this show and laughed so much he hired him
This was probably the only time in the history of Groucho that he played the straight man.
3:52 🤣I just noticed the woman gave Pedro the "look" back lol😅. I was in stitches!😂
Vote for Pedro
So funny. And timeless. Wonderful. We here in the UK never saw these programmes so its great to be able to see them.
Pedro was a real hoot. Great actor and comedian
Hilarious. Funny little pumpkin Pedro. So adorable. ✌️😂
The little head turn after he says he’s been married 9 years is so funny and I don’t even know why lol.
lol like he was hiding a ton of despair. Classic.
It was all years of practiced comedic timing. Gonzales Gonzales did not drive a station wagon - he was a professional comedian and performer with years and years of practice before he ever met Groucho. I think that's why they got along so well and why Groucho enjoyed his dance - Groucho danced when he was younger in a really similar way.
@@PapagenoMF Actually that was a national dance that is still performed now. But, I know the Groucho dance you spoke of. Like Groucho and brothers as well as Laurel and Hardy they all had a off stage persona. It was nice of you to bring that up so that we would not be taken in by his act and thing he was not action. But part of the fun is US being in the dark of the true talent. I remember feeling betrayed when Bowzer from Shanana turned out to be a Juliard student. All great enternators.
He was a professional performer.
Was great in 1959 Rio Bravo with Wayne, Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson.. This was 1953, a year later he was in a film with Wayne..
That is the guy from Rio Bravo. He played the manager of the hotel, who always argued with his wife.
Ramiro, or Pedro, Gonzalez was singing and dancing in Vaudeville shows from the time he was a child. It has always been rumored that this Groucho episode was set up for him to promote his talent. Whether or not that is true, he became an easily recognized if not well known actor in films and on TV. He was smart with the money he earned, buying up real estate around Hollywood and Los Angeles and retired quite comfortably.
He is the grandfather of actor Clifton Collins Jr. I was actually searching for a clip from "Capote" when I found this.
John Wayne signed this guy up to star in western films. He was illiterate but learned the lines with help from his wife.
Best poker face ever Ramino
TikTok brought me here! Thank you! Pedro is naturally funny!
I never saw this video, and I am glad. Videos such as this one are a treat, and are best the first time around.
Finding an old gem, like this, is a real delight.
It is like finding out that your favorite musical artist has a hit song that you never heard.
Awesome that Ramiro made Groucho laugh so much!
Groucho's ad libs are hilarious. A true comic genius.
No, she calls me Pedro! Lol.
Notice how GOOD everybody sounds. That's because they're using REAL microphones.
1:45 The only time I ever saw Groucho crack up.
I saw this episode when I was a kid and it's even funnier now
he has a star on hollywood, was in movies with j. Wayne and Steve McQueen and a lot more. mm have to admit, never connected him till i saw comments here. good actor. and good person.
Viva México! Love Gonzalez 😁
Timeless, one of the greats, unless you count the other three, Gonzalez, Gonzalez & Pedro...
😂😂😂😂😂😂
One of the funniest things ever.
This is Gold!!!
Raimiro Gonzales Gonzales is the father of my high school classmate Rosie Gonzales, who was, when I knew her, a delightfully sweet young lady.
This is soooo funny 😀😃😄😁😆😅😂🤣
my favorite episode.
classic but Gonzales was fearless, superb
I bet he was the inspiration for Napoleon Dynamites Pedro.
yes, I can see that . Especially at the start when he looked lost. Nice catch
This is awesome. Sooooo funny.
We could use another Pedro to make us laugh. A real hoot!
Hello Janie, How are you doing?
“Nine years...”
I can see it over and over again
@ 4:50 When I was 12 mother did that. She threw a pot of water on a group of girls that were hollering for me to come down and play.
Pedro is funny as hell.
He was a great character actor.
That was awesome! 😂😂😎👍
funniest show ever of you bet your life/
I love this!!
Pedro rocks!
Top that Napoleon dynamite
John Wayne saw this and gave Ramino his start in the movies in Hollywood! True story!
This guy may have been a ringer, (I definitely think he's a pro), but it was still a hoot.
+The_Reason_isME Thanks. I looked him up and learned he was very accomplished. Talented guy.
He was in several John Wayne movies as Pedro Gonzales-Gonzales
tackyman2011 no, oddly enough it was his first appearance before an audience, he later got into the movies and was even in a John Wayne movie
Nonsense, he was a popular entertainer on the South Texas Hispanic vaudeville circuit which was like the last survival of authentic American vaudeville.
@@poetcomic1
Yes He was AFTER this appearance not before.
I used to watch "You Beg Your Life" when I was a kid but didn't see this particular episode then. Now I have watched it a number of times and still get a kick out of it. Pedro Gonzalez Gonzalez was called "Ramirin" when he played the Vaudeville shows in San Antonio. My mom went to those shows as young woman and knew some of Pedro's relatives. This was before TV. If this was all set up it was a work of genius!
Great video. Pedro was a star.
Pedro sounds like the guy that was in "Rio Bravo" with John Wayne and Dean Martin.
Its is him
The Pride of San Ygnacio!!
When was any comic interchange better than this? Two "greats" - Gonzalez Gonzalez and Groucho.
This great! :)
Something tells Groucho was thinking when dealing with Pedro : "I knew I shouldn't have come into work today!"
Hilarious. He is so good.
Pedro Gonzalez Gonzalez is the funniest guest on you bet your Life.
One of the funniest ever
Love-love-love me some Groucho⭐💋
I really wish they'd given Gonzalez the TV show that was written for him, guy was great!
Groucho lovesssss this
This is so funny
Arriba el canelo Albares que es tapatío también ánimo a todos los competidores y que se venga la evolución las pilas bien cargadas
In our Spanish countries is usual to say both lastnames, from father and mother. That's why Pedro Ramiro González González. Her wife keep her lastname, for example Maria Fernández *de* Gonzalez, (it is *of* González), for being married to Gonzalez. Instead in the US she would be called María González, what should be confuse for us.
Greetings from 🇨🇱 Santiago Chile SouthAmerica
yes, and sometimes you get funny combinations like ; Leche de Vaca which of course means Cows Milk.
A great listen
Awsome people in those days
YUP INDEED ❗😂
I went to High School with his daughter Rosie.....
Pedro played the hotel keeper in Rio bravo with john wayne and dean martin.
John Wayne must have liked him, because he also played the shipboard operator of the home-made radio in "The High and The Mighty".
@@douglasstark1657 you're good!
Groucho was a GIANT amongst comics of that era or any era.
Pedro, could be in the Marx brothers troupe
Pedro Gonzalez was certainly up on groucho... You could see Groucho's mind turning... Juan Pedro suggested English or Spanish... Groucho had a hint he was putting him on the whole time... Sudden realization....
Hilarious❗️🤣❗️🤣
