- Fenneman gets a brief moment of minor revenge against Groucho in his intro of Rocky Marciano (returning from last week). Absolutely classic-- Fenneman was such a funny man in his own right.
And I still miss the duck.

COUPLE #2: Karen Von Unge (from Sweden) / Rocky Marciano (boxing champ)

Groucho Markx great American! Rocky Marciano great American hero! Cultured, wise and a the epitome of grace! You will never be forgotten!! God Bless you Rocky!!!!
Anthony Pine God bless sonny Liston
My dad got Rocky's autograph. He was at a club in NYC. My dad was with his friends there too. My dad just got out of high school on his way to the Army. In the mid 50's. He said Marciano was a very nice guy. My dad was the only one that had the nerve to ask him. Dad passed in 2011. Rip to both.
Rocky was killed in a small plane crash. In a Cessna plane. He was undefeated. He died the day before his 46th birthday. He was gracious and such a gentleman.. He had be undefeated from 1952 to 1956. An amazing record
Another video someone said that he was killed that it was no accident. I guess they didn't want him to be commissioner.
He was a lovely guest. Sad ending, so sad.
Rocky had a talk show and even had Jackie Gleason on his Show! Jackie's near fatal encounter with Tony Two Ton Galleno was remembered that night.
Being brave, or impatient. Wanted to collect money. Then go go home. My question to Rocco, are you crazy? It's snowing, wind was blowing. The pilot was a novice. Plus it was a small plane. R.I.P. G.O.A.T.
@joemonteleonezollo4967 collect money? He was set to give a speech at a boys club that day!! And then go go home, for a Birthday bash the following day.
Karen, it seems, is still with us in 2021. She's now 93, lives in LA and goes to the Swedish Church there. To this day, she still has the odd (to me) habit or wearing a ring on the little finger of her right hand. She really was quite the looker.
What a doll. Did she ever marry?
yeah.....me in my dreams !!!@@parsonscarlson7984
One of the greatest fighters of all time if not the toughest, Rocky comes across as being humble and a gentleman. This show has brought some great people that I would never get to see otherwise and the best part is they are conversing with Groucho. Fantastic upload. Many thanks to you.
Your correct.
A true sportsman who's greatness shined in and out of the ring.
I wish they still had clean entertainment like these old shows today. What a shame.
Groucho was considere risque - that tells you something. They used to cut out talk that was too spicey and show it once a year to amuse the sponsors who always looked forward to it. They have some of these on RUclips and it is amazing how mild their
'forbidden' humor was back then.
Wow Rocky Marciano was all class ! I guess people in the 60s were used to seeing him but this video is a testimony to younger generations about what a true champ he was, in every sense of the word.
That was one humble Champion!!!!
Dr. James Leonard, who appears in this episode, died on March 22, 2015. He initially pursued a career in academic medicine and taught as a professor of medicine at the University of Iowa, Johns Hopkins University, and the Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia. He left academic medicine in 1973, and spent the remainder of his professional career in Atlanta as an otolaryngologist and a maxillofacial surgeon. He had retired to Florida at the time of his death. He and Carolyn Jo, who also appears here, did not remain married. She eventually became an attorney, and is apparently living in Slidell, Louisiana at age 80. Her and James' two children also reside in Slidell. James was remarried at the time of his death to Elizabeth Leonard.
thanks so much on the info I wondered if they stayed married.
She's too mouthy.......back when womens lib started castrating men.
Terry Siedelman ‼️It’s called making conversation!!......🤪
It has nothing with being an uppity woman. She did not treat him with RESPECT and it was funny perhaps but vaguely offensive. She 'got' hi like a prize at a carnival.
It was refreshing to see them spar. Bet they had a fun time for a while.
Rocky was one lovable guy...and Groucho was a comedic genius ! Great upload.
This is another treasure. The way the doctor and his wife go at it and Groucho sure knows how to deal it and have the audience savour it. A matchless master. Merci pour le téléchargement.
I love the variety of ways that the $100 are being delivered! How awesome to see a legend as a guest and to see his personality. Also, what a beautiful woman Karen Von Unge is! And unattached at the time. Again, this just makes me believe that even though I enjoyed the 50's and 60's and remember those years fondly, I was just a child. How I would have liked to have been a young adult then and been able to meet Karen. She's beautiful and charming.
Marciano: If I said I could beat Johannson, you'd call me a liar, If I said I couldn't beat him, I'd be a liar. Well said Rocky!
I heard him say that on another game show but slightly different. "If I say I can beat him, people would call me a braggart, but if I say he can beat me, I'd be a liar." True humility but with well deserved confidence.
Rocky ....not only a GREAT Champion but a true gentleman
bobo brazil Agree.😎
5m46s Groucho "If it weren't for my nose and ears I wouldn't be able to keep my glasses on". One of his best.
This made me smile and laugh throughout the whole video.... The wholesomeness of that era shined like a Beacon of light In many ways... A time of humor and genuine innocence And above all good naturedness.
Nice To See The Rock On Here.The Greatest Champion Of All Time.
Agreed
As a fellow Italian I am so proud of Marciano but Ali is THE greatest of all time.
@@davidgalliano84 You are indeed a great Italian. With friends like you, who needs enemies. Italian pride, huh?
@@mikewhitney8615 100% sicilian
But my eyes and mind work just fine
@@davidgalliano84 I saw too many bums take Ali to the limit to believe that.
Groucho the king of interrupting people, jerk and asking questions that are none of his fucking business. The Rock always a gentleman and humble
That's because Groucho's a Jew. He can't help himself.
How could anyone give this a thumbs down? It takes all sorts I suppose.
Rocky Marciano and Ingrid Bergman?
A joy to watch!
Rocky’s lovely fellow contestant reminds me of Ingrid Bergman.
Well, that's a mighty fine Ingrid Bergman look-alike if I ever saw one.
beingnr159
She looks nothing her. Where's the gap in her two font teeth? Anyhow
Ingrid is way more appealing. I ought to know. Had a crush on her for a short spell.
beingnr159 svenske jente smage godt
That was EXACTLY what I was thinkin too.
I believe that the Rock also banged Bergman as well as this woman. Marciano was a notorious womanizer, right up there with JFK & Sinatra.
5.46 is Groucho at his best. NO ONE was faster than him. What a legend!
tleatherland So true!!
Sad that many boxers are given raw deal in the end.
Rocky is the real greatest all time.
You guys are right.
Karen/Ingrid is enchanting.
The great Marciano
Rocky. Tough but classy. We lost him far too soon.
The Swedish woman's body language loudly says she wants Rocky real bad.
And i would bet my life that Rocky got lucky with her as he was a notorious womanizer like JFK & Elvis. Marciano never spent more than one night with a woman and he didn't want anything to do with the same woman after he seduced her all night long.
I think she was way too animated. So many other pretty women on the show didn't need to do all those movements.
I met Rocky Marciano when I was 4 1/2 years old. I’m from Brockton too. My daddy at my urging took me to Rocky’s mother’s house around the corner from our grocery store and Rocky was on the lawn jumping rope. He came right over to our car to talk to us.
Wow, do you remember anything that Rocky said. Was he the heavy weight champion at that point. Did you go to his parade in Brockton when he won the title.
Rocky had his own ....talk show with some great guests.....available on youtube !!
bobo brazil- Yes,Called The Main Event.Very Good.
the show with Jackie Gleason (on You Tube) was the best, as Gleason detailed his run-in with old time boxer Two Ton Tony Galento. Hilarious.
teller121 exactly. Jackie, I’ll be right back. Tomorrow.
Such a tragic end to his life. And his wife died young too.
@@bovinedowie2803 Indeed! Unfortunately the pilot was inexperienced with instrument training & they flew in bad weather conditions. Rocky's wife was a big smoker & drinker and the cancer-sticks caught up with her in the long run.
thank you very much for all the videos you put up. groucho is one of my favorite comedians
Wow, I wish ladies dressed like Karen today. She is beautiful.
That's what a young lady or a women should look like. Even if they aren't particularly beautiful, there is an attractiveness that a slim figure displayed in a modest dress brings out. How modern young ladys and women need to return to this.
Rocky has always been my favorite, long live his name in in boxing
As a young boy I looked forward to this show each week. At the time I had now idea what Groucho's jokes meant at my age. Many had sexual connotations, but I enjoyed watching the interactions of him and his guests. Miss that kind of TV.
Don't touch my stuff and don't call me Francis!
Rocky was a very powerful puncher. Knocked Joe Louis right of the ring. Can't imagine how it would feel getting hit like! He was a man's man!!
Jon Green Joe Louis was 76 years old
no he wasn't!
Jon Green yes he was
MrDuds1984 Joe Louis Was 37.
MrDuds1984 37years old. He owed a lot of back taxes. That was funny 😄
These “You Bet Your Life” videos bring back great memories from my past. I would be doing my homework and the TV didn’t go on until I was done. I remember a few times my Dad would come from the living room and tell me to pick it up because this program was coming on soon.
The only undefeated, undisputed, heavy champ in boxing history.
At 14:29- Groucho asks Rocky- "Why didn't you kill him?"- in reference to Rocky's manager Al Weill's ripping him off financially. Rocky actually stifles his anger at the thought of it- before he continues fooling around with Groucho.
Karen: "i like any [man]." 😂😂
Marciano #1
I remember watching him fight when I was a kid.
Man the internet is a wonderful thing.
I live in the UK and this is funnier than anything we get today!
Woman should have gotten bonus for getting The Rock as her trivial pursuit partner! Hilarious. She's from Sweden and gets a US geography question for the big money...and they guy from the US didn't exactly major in geography! lol. The Rock!!
Karen is gorgeous
Rocky manager took 50% plus team expenses off the top!
Al Weil caused Rocky to retire he totally took advantage of Rocky
Actually Groucho is wrong. Tunney had one loss and four draws on his record. The loss delivered via Henry Greb and a draw against: Jaffe, Gavigan, Loughran, and Greb again in the 10th round. Still a pretty good record.
I,m pretty sure Rockie knew he was the only undefeated heavyweight. It was nice of him to not correct Groucho.
I heard that Greb got robbed in at least 1 of their 5 fights against each other & Greb fought over 300 times as a Pro.
How cute they all are !!
I want to thank you again for another YBYL.I check out your channel often looking for new episodes and have watched every one.I hope the personal reasons have worked themselves out and you are doing ok.
Take care.
I hope whatever the personal reasons were, things are ok for you now. I appreciate you taking the time to post these episodes. I really do enjoy watching all of them. Thank you.
When I looked up the question now the answer said Barrows Alaska. lol
Rocky Marciano, to me, looked about like Lou Costello in the face. But completely different personalities.
Fighters are still being screwed over
Marciano would've destroyed Johansson.
Marciano would never HIT Scarlett Johannsen. Shame on you.
@@TheBatugan77 Patterson managed to .
Rocky would have destroyed rope a dope Ali.
@@godsavenger5599 True. Even Joe Frazier said Ali would never have dared to try rope-a-dope with Rocky.
@@TheBatugan77 Johansson was afraid to get in the ring with Marciano, Liston, Williams, & Ali. And i believe that Ingemar banged more p*ssy than Rocky & Sinatra.
groucho making a great point, actors pay agents 10% but boxers pay 50%. and that was when the highest nominal tax rate was 90%, but there were ways around it if you invested in your assets, business, or employees... and this was also the height of the greatest middle class ever known. we were much better off as a society back then, (minus the racism and sexism) than we are today.
I miss the racism and sexism.
We need to bring it back.
@@TheBatugan77 so you're a trumplican.
Rocky's Manager Al Weill was just a puppet for Mafia Foot Soldiers Frankie Carbo & Blinkie Palermo, who controlled Boxing from 1935-1965. Weill was getting 50% before expenses inside the ring & outside the ring. The main reasons that Rocky retired was Weill was getting greedier and making side deals with Boxing Promoters and Marciano & his opponents were getting short-changed. When Rocky wanted to do appearances for charity for nothing, Weill demanded to get paid from Rocky's own money and instead of Boxing for a couple more years he decided to retire and he worked out lucrative deals to get paid under the table and leaving no paper trail. Rocky was just as popular as the U.S Presidents & Star Baseball Players. Moxing was at its absolute peak during the 40s-50s. Obviously during Ali's career inside the ring & outside it, he was the most popular person & the GOAT Athlete in the world during the 70s.
Love the VonUnger woman too, beautiful. Rocky is always the true gentleman, and probably the best man every to step in the ring. God Bless America.
Welcome back. 😊
Thanks, Sheila! :)
My contribution: The girl that comes in dancing like a ballerina instead of the duck. She also appears in episode 1037TV - (60-06-02)-Room (#59-37) =^.~=
Groucho got a piece of the Swedish hottie, "You Bet Your Life"...
Rocky looks like beast beside Groucho and Fenneman. I believe I read that Rocky was the smallest heavyweight champion. I also read that he trained harder than anyone in his era.
About 180-185 but he was the only Boxer to use a 200lb heavy bag . I'm from his home city of Brockton mass, I played football for his brother in law. Tremendous pride .
Groucho is gold
Golly, great entertainment.
It really bites, that all the best looking, intelligent, well mannered, honorable, and talented people seemed to be from this era. There had been many , many beautiful women. Many of those women were eligible bachelorettes, like this one who was partnered with Rocky! It's beyond me what happened to the world. Funny thing was in really old pictures, and the further you went back, the homelier they all seemed to be. Could hardly tell the men from the women.
Rocky probably ended up with this beautiful woman for a one night stand. Marciano was a notorious womanizer who had more women than JFK after he retired from Boxing.
What about today with women wearing their hair shorter then men and in un-natural colors, no dresses, only pants and worse yet, brand new ripped jeans from the factory. On top of this, tattoos and piercings. What has happened to modern young ladys and women? It's the freak-show on display and women are the leading offenders. Men are not altogether exempt, but the female gender is leading the pack by far.
@@parsonscarlson7984 Yes, it is a freak show. If it isn't that, it's being outnumbered by immigrants who don't like, um, Westerners, if you get my drift. The Westerners population are getting thinner, and the immigrants population is growing as well. It's all going to shit.
The best way to tell the women from the men in those days was.... The men were men and the women were proud of 'em !!!!
@@hoozerobRacist garbage. Stick to the program
wow that lady sure has a mind of her own..good for her
1:03
A rivalry that exists to this day.
This Groucho guy is too mouthy with this Champion! This Champion has a great personality, and infinite patience. I will be 27 in July, but I know a bit about Rocky..
He was my hero!
He was a comedian, and that was his style.
UTUBE IS A TIME MACHINE
Karen could have been an actress.Wonder if Rocky went out with her...see certainly seemed to like him.
The Rock was spoken for by then.
@@teller121 The Rock's marriage was in shambles as his wife had put on over 100 pounds and she was a big smoker & drinker. Marciano was a notorious womanizer on the scale of Sinatra & Elvis. Rocky demanded to be paid in cash to get around uncle sam and a different high class escort as part of the package deal. Marciano had a suitcase full of vibrators, ointments, gels and anything else hand to help him with his marathon sexual activities with multiple women.
Wonderfully funny x
Those are actually hard questions. Actually Rocky did train for a couple of months cuz he thought he was going to come back and fight Johansson
"Then you answer" that's why she's NOT married. Stuck on herself. Rocky did have ties to the MOB as when he crashed, he was with a crime boss' son.
In those days Presidents, Kings, Queens, Heads of States, Hollywood Actors and starlets, entertainers,
monsters…. All wanted to be around the HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION of the WORLD and being that he was of Italian extraction….it’s no surprise he new them.
Karen von unga: "I like any men!" 😅😂
Imagine asking a celebrity today "how much did u make in your career"
the swedish woman looks like Ingrid Bergman
Hamza Kolak
Bullshit! She looks like Phyllis Diller.
Karen is adorable, as is her accent
Rocky's Mom was on this show once too.
Miss Ungar looks like Maureen O'Hara, especially around the mouth.
Tunney was not undefeated - he was defeated once as a light heavyweight.
And a loss is a loss.
And six for a dollar... lol
I'm wondering if they meant undefeated as a Heavyweight??
Rocky should have tried more acting. He is very natural in front of the camera.
6m37s it's obvious who wears the metaphorical trousers.
Yes stated 60. The show should’ve just stayed out the air should’ve just kept running. It went into reroutes a few years later. But there was no reason for it to go off the air. And if you can see Groucho was well then he was in good condition he could’ve continued.
This has happened so many times past . The reason is the agenda , injecting perversion and violence .
They entered our lives in humility and through gradualism , turned into monsters and we couldn't evict them.... Corporate fascist take over And take down !
14:57
Rocky said his real name was Francis, which is confusing me. Everything I've ever read says his name was Rocco Francis Marchegiano. This show makes it seem like he was just Francis Marchegiano and not Rocco.
Maybe it was done so Groucho could do the joke about it.
Sad he died so young.
Talk about inflation! 3 million dollars must have seen the whole world then. Today fighters make in the tens of millions for a single fight.
I have no idea what Rocky said his real name was "Francis"! That was his MIDDLE name. His real first name was ROCCO. So there's not much difference between Rocco and Rocky.
From what I read, Rocky almost died as an infant until his grandmother, using traditional wisdom, found a way to make him eat chicken soup.
And Tunney had more fights than Rocky (about 10 more), though Rocky had a few more championship fights. I thought Groucho interrupted Rocky a few too many times when Rocky was trying to explain money deductions.
Groucho should have asked his mother in the previous episode.
Hungadunga hungadunga and McCormick
You forgot a Hungadunga !!!.........and the most important one !!
[Reworking LL Cool J] Groucho said knock you out ...
Rocky Marciano, in mouth and sheepish tough-guy grin, reminded me ... *a little bit* ... of Robert De Niro's Jimmy Conway in *Goodfellas*, when he delivered that much-parodied (by, most famously, Alec Baldwin on the *Joe Pesci Show* sketch on *Saturday Night Live*) phrase: www.google.com/search?num=100&biw=1600&bih=789&noj=1&tbm=vid&q=baldwin+pesci
How come grouch was sitting down all the time??
+ACNC1 Just how they produced the show; Groucho actually had a specially tailored jacket made for YBYL so that it wouldn't bunch up in the back when he was seated.
maybe because he was so tall
why no adds on these ?
This is 2020 and I have to wonder who would be the host for, 'You Bet Your Life.' None quite like Mister Marx. It will be fun to watch if it gets done close to this original version. My thought is Craig Ferguson, as host. George Feinman part no idea! There should be a producer who can make this happen for 2020.
Timothy Ball Conan
@@stonesinmyblood27 Yuck that man with REDHAIR!!! Nope for me but I might watch IF he took up cigars. That is the only way I can watch him. Just to see him get CANCER.
Supposedly he was quite careful with his $$$ and he had something to show for his efforts when it was all over.
So careful that no one knew where he hid it all!
The Swedish girls body language was naively sexy.... nice !
My second cousin was Al Ettore & fought Joe Louis & lost because they drugged him before the fight since he would've won, they couldn't allow Al to win
Yeah, okay. Whatever.
It's Louis. LOUIS!
You can't even spell his name correctly, you stooge. ***JOE LOUIS*** Joe Walcott also KO Ettore. You should've just lied and said that your Uncle was Max Schmeling!
The guy has a hot looking wife, but boy are these two ignorant. They pick sports nicknames and they did not know Ty Cobb is The Georgia Peach and Gentleman Jim is Jim Corbett. The guy answered Bobby Darrin a singer for one answer!
By the time, Marciano retired, his wife had put on close to 100 pounds & she was smoking 2-3 packs of cancer sticks and drinking close to a half gallon of vodka everyday. Extremely unhealthy woman but he was catholic so he stayed married and his wife took care of the kids.
@@richardmilliken8705 How do you know that is true?
@@Michael93406 "Unbeaten" by Mike Stanton and there are many photos online of Rocky's Wife. If she was "Hot" Marciano wouldn't have been traveling all over the country doing appearances & chasing women. Rocky was right up there with Elvis & Sinatra in womanizing.
@@richardmilliken8705 Sad the truth is that. In the movie based on his life it was sad enough he died so young due to disregarding the pilots advice. That he was a womanizer and that this is the real truth to such a wonderful love story....sad.
@@richardmilliken8705 Everything you said is true. He slept with thousands then left them penniless when he perished. He was half a bubble off plumb for sure.
I kiss my girlfriend on the forehead and said
You remind me of my grand pa
Karen was certainly beautiful!
The pilot was inexperienced and not instrument rated. Poor combination for night and weather. Same thing happened to Buddy Holly 10 years earlier in the same state.
