You Bet Your Life #57-05 The Never-ending Quiz Segment (Secret word 'Street', Oct 24, 1957)

- This show is notable for the first quiz segment, which goes on and on and on with no end in sight. Due to the peculiar rules they used during this phase of the show, it's theoretically possible for the game to never end (at least until they ran out of questions). I'm surprised we didn't see this kind of thing happen more often, but it's possible that when it did the quiz segment was edited. Here Groucho gets in a great line at the end that makes the whole thing worthwhile; I suspect that may be why the producers decided not to edit the quiz this time.
Groucho's reference at 1:45 to a woman who makes wonderful pizza is to Betina Consolo, who appeared on several episodes the previous season, hunting for a husband unsuccessfully.
COUPLE #1: Glory Dawson, police woman / Ennio Belognini
COUPLE #2: Phil & Frank Interlandi, identical twins

Glory Dawson is my mom. She used to talk about being on You Bet Your Life but I've never been able to find it to watch. She's been gone for 11 years now and it was great to see film of her from back then. Thanks so much for sharing!
Glory seems like a lovely woman...very poised, intelligent and beautiful. May she rest in God.
Beautiful lady!
your mom was a nice looking woman --------- sorry for your loss ----------- seems pretty neat that you have her on video!
She found a husband! Lovely woman.
Very interesting. Glad you found this video of her. I can tell she meant a lot to you and I’m sure you miss her. I admired the fact that she preferred to be called a police officer and I agree with her. Was she a police officer for a long time? Wish you the best. Thanks
The second part of this program, with the Interlandi brothers, holds a very dear memory for me. I knew Phil (the one on the right, as filmed), rather well, his girlfriend in 1973 being my secretary then. On one visit he opened a floor drawer and told me to pick one sketch of the artwork he had done for Playboy and I could have it! It was a signed cartoon of a pregnant woman in front of her lawyer and the caption read, something like "As you sow, so shall you reap"! His demeanor then was exactly like this Groucho episode! Phenomenal individual, so wonderfully kind, generous, & funny!
I never grow tired of Groucho's never-ending sense of humor! He is so clever and spontaneous, something you rarely see today.
In 1974, I had surgery and was off from school for a month or so. Being a bit of a nightowl, I was watching TV in my room while the rest of my family slept. I found episodes of YBYL, and watched them until I had to return to school (I was a senior in high school). Thank God for UA-cam!
Ennio Bolognini, acclaimed cellist and conductor of the Las Vegas Philharmonic, died at 85 with his cello donated by his musically accomplished wife to the Smithsonian and an obit in the NY Times. Modest man led an intriguing life. A rare recording snippet is on the internet, an accompaniment of the Marteri Orchestra on "Street Scene." Fantastic!
Yes I did some reading on Ennio. He says, trying to be a professional musician lolol
@@therrienmichael08 This has quite a bit of revealing info about this musician, one who must have been unforgettable based on what's written here:

@@RRW1982 wow what a renaissance man! And so humble to say that he was "trying to play the cello"
Love Groucho...may he rest in piece.
you will never find another groucho in a thousand yrs
Try your heart or anywhere else you can find perfect sanity.
This entire episode is one of the best! Love the lady cop and the cartoonist brothers ...
Glory was beautiful and ahead of her time as a policewoman in her day. She had a great smile!
I love how Groucho was still trying to help Betina. I wonder if she really did bring him (and his family) some pizza outside of the show.
She brought him pizza ON the show in at least one of her return appearances. :)
I’m confused, Bettina wasn’t on this show?
@@dotsywotsy18 - no but he mentioned her, (1:40) trying to get her Wed to one of the early contestants.
Brilliant programme and the best looking cop I've ever seen thanks for sending this brilliant show
Phil Interlandi was a very successful cartoonist. Many of his cartoons were published in Playboy magazine.
According to the Laguna Beach Coastline Pilot, Phil and Phoebe divorced in 1967. They both died in 2002 within a few weeks of each other. Brother Frank passed in 2010.
maynardsmoreland any good news to report?
@@TruckTaxiMoveIt Yes, Trump lost the race!
@@mehboobkm3728-Good, now you have no job, no cash, higher taxes and an Imbecile running the country!
@@TruckTaxiMoveItinteresting info was provided. Take off ur rose colored glasses
@@mehboobkm3728You bet...Best news ever.
One of the more interesting episodes.
You can tell the twins were resentful of each others work. And Glory Dawson, WOW she can frisk me anytime. If I had a time machine that is.
Right on.... she also looks like a movie girl as well.....
Baedeker - I never would have got that one - Well done lads!!
No one better than Groucho !!!
Thanks for Sharing this episode !
My pleasure! This show has been out of circulation for way, way too long.
+Groucho Marx - You Bet Your Life I bet I have watched this series a dozen times & notice diff things every time. 👍
OK Duck, Duck out of here, one of Groucho's best innuendos
I loved Groucho's question, why do you get all dressed up high heels, tight dress when you don't like to be squeezed? She didn't know what to say!
Another well-intentioned but completely inappropriate remark from Groucho.
Still trying to find old Betti a husband. So cute!
I confess I don't get the summer cottage cartoon caption either.
@Alienart - It was strange to me too, and until someone explains it, I'll go along with - it's something, only locals are aware of.
or...He was surprised that Daytripper's were starting to arrive in the area, before they even had a chance to set-up for their summer stay.
Ever been fishing at a great spot, and other anglers start passing through, and throw-in the odd line...and totally destroy your mood.
-I'd imagine that here...as you are going to your secluded summer cottage, and people start walking past your door. It can be annoying. - That might not be the joke at all - A possibility, that's all.
Any ideas as to what it might be yet?
The more I think about it, the more I'm leaning towards it being a happening that only locals would understand immediately.
@@justplainbrad7713 There was time I travelled to Arizona where the time lagged so far behind my usual Central Day Light Savings time I woke up totally refreshed at 4:00 am. I sat on the hotel balcony with coffee to read a good novel, watch the desert sunrise and soak in the peace. Then along came golfers driving golf carts and partying it up. I never knew golfers got going that early. It was mildly amusing I guess, but not laugh out loud amusing. It could be the cartoon just wasn't his best. I have to say though, modern shows rarely prompt this pleasant kind of discussion!
Here's a great spread of cartoons that Phil Interlandi drew for Playboy magazine. Those of you who have perused the pages of Playboy (for the articles, of course) may recall some of these classics. Click on individual cartoons to enlarge.

I remember seeing cartoons by Interladi but I never knew there were twin brothers of the same profession.
How can I like a show that was before my time.
Always Wondering Surprising all the great shows from the 50s-90s. Noadays it's mostly boring. That's the benifits of old DVD sitcom's and UA-cam. .
Many comments have appeared online about the nature of groucho's contestants, and rehearsals, etc. It is rather obvious the guests were not chosen from a spinning drum of postcards, BUT once the quiz portion began it was on the level, the spinning wheel, the whole schemer-
They were outright deceptive about the contestant selection process in the first few years of the program, making up a line of bull about "the audience selected our next two contestants just before the show went on the air. . . " In truth, the contestants were very carefully chosen in advance. The show wouldn't have worked otherwise.
By the mid 1950s, they were no longer routinely making completely false statements about how contestants were found, but still, every now and then, you can catch obviously faked stories offered by contestants about how they got on the show, if it provided the setup required for one of Groucho's scripted lines. YBYL was a very, very carefully produced show, which was a big part of what made it work.
@@grouchomarx-youbetyourlife7476 Very astute observations. I understand Groucho's staff interviewed the contestants beforehand. Cue cards were made up & then hidden so he could ask questions and make quips. Not dishonest; just clever. Notice how he often looks straight ahead. I believe he's reading his lines. All that said, surely Groucho was fast on his feet and very quick witted.
The twins were a hoot but they were jealous of each other. The one went to college and the other didn't. How odd they both became cartoonists
You cannot become an artist by choice, they had the talents to be one, period!
How about that! This episode originally aired just three weeks after I was born.
I strongly suggest going online and reading the LA Times obits (2002 and 2010) for the Interlandi twins.
RIP two very talented & charming artists who served our country honorably -- Phil Interlandi who drew "Queenie",and illustrated many children's books by famous Authors such as Art Linkletter, b. 1924 - d, 2002; Also RIP Frank Interlandi with the Des Moines Register & the LA Times b. 1924 - d. Feb 2010
Sister Veronica.... I really dig how you've gotten it together with lots of salient , and wonderful info - so very much appreciated ... immediate continuation of the Show too, in many ways....
there is one episode i had a cassette of when i was a little kitten (Dating myself a bit i know) that i'd love to find... and i even remember the contestant's name cause he must have spelt it 8 times "my name no interleggi, mr groucho. my name is joseph inteiligei... i-n-t-e-i-l-i-g-e-i." the twins names sparked that memory
almost 25 years and i can still spell that damn name... wow
FF11Freshstep That is a funny show. The radio air date of that show was 12/16/1957. TV air date was 3 days later. I don't have this show posted on my channel because it's on one of the Shout Factory DVD sets.
hopefully my dad will get on that! he said he might have them sent to me for my birthday soon
FF11Freshstep They're both available on amazon for less than $10 each, but I don't know how tight money is for you. I thought you already had them! When they first came out, they were around $50 retail. But worth every penny.
my father had intimated he was going to make the 2 of them a birthday present... wish i was working right now and not having heart issues.
15,29 I didn't get the joke. Somebody did?
The quiz could've "only" gone on for 50 questions.
Where are you getting that from? They didn't have 50 questions available to ask for any given category.
Because it was about states and capitols, and there are only 50 states to ask about. lol
Ela Mongrella Ah-- okay! I didn't remember what the category was. As I understand it, they had 20 questions prepared for each category in case they needed them. One of the reasons they changed the format of the quiz again is that there was no way to control how long the quiz segments went on with the "4 in a row correct" format.
Groucho Marx - You Bet Your Life There were only 48 states at the time.
I think that the 1st couple was invited back later, either that or awarded the money, due to a goof by the staff about Montana---I believe that their answer of Billings was correct....of course this was based on figures back then. Any info on this?
I don't think the first couple was invited back to the show. I don't have a copy of the next episode, neither the TV nor the radio version, but according the log I'm using, the couples who appeared the next week were definitely different.
Well don't quote me, but as a teenager (I was born in 1959) I watched a few YBYL reruns late at night on a local independent station....ISTR the couple returning (for maybe a taping of 2-3 shows down the road?) and Groucho maybe admitting the error---coulda been maybe metro area vs. actual city population issue. I could be wrong, but I wonder why I would think this....
cd637299 Wow! You're going by memory of seeing these shows over 60 years ago? :) You may very well be right; I can only go by what's in the log when I don't have the shows themselves available to check. But the log definitely does not indicate either couple returning for the next several weeks. It's interesting, regardless!
Nah! My viewings were around 1974-ish. Unfortunately, Googling turned up nothing on my theory. Is there anybody out there who could back me up? :)
cd637299
that did happen a few times. not sure about this in particular but some episodes were prefaced by sort of a verbal editorial note that people were sent the money etc. yes sometimes they were asked back to try again too
Phil b.1924 d.2002 aged 78 of liver disease.
I googled some of the cartoons that these men produced. They are very raunchy.
That quiz-system was rather cruel.
Groucho smoked Cuban cigars
Why is there are visual of "Commercial Here?"
It's a cue for the editor, telling him/her where to place the commercial. It's no different than a print document that says "illustration here," so the editor knows where to put it.
I'm a cartoonist too
What kind of quiz game was that? They got a bunch right and lose a turn erasing all their previous points so they start over?!! Also I'm from Minneapolis!
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Interlandi
The game was irrelevant. It was an excuse for Groucho to be Groucho.
5 05 ?? 20.04 The pointe?
Wasn't there one other time where Groucho ran out of questions to ask, and since the team being asked the questions hadn't either answered four in a row correctly or two in a row incorrectly that they were given the $1,000 and declared eligible for the bonus round?
"just a housewife"
I'm sure you didn't mean that to sound condescending
Two hunters walking through the woods come upon a naked girl sitting on a stump. One hunter says to Her, "Are You Game?" She replies, "Sure". So the other Hunter shot Her.
Good Onelol
Good One
Boy, how times have changed. A bear skin? How awful! On 2 other episodes there were Americans going over to Africa to shoot elephants. Sometimes I thank God that I'm a Canadian.
Oh brother! We’re pretty glad you’re stuck up there, too.
Wow beautiful lady.
She is the earliest of the feminist wanting to be a cop. I guess she never got married. She does not want a man to hug her. was she a lesbian?
5:09 Groucho is being sexist and offensive here.
