I’m always hoping to see someone from the family of one of these contestants leave a comment. Ol’ Half Price must be sixty-four by now. I can imagine it would be a kick for him to watch Groucho joking with his parents before he was born.
@Kiran , although Uncle Julius Schickler wasn't his uncle yet when Groucho was born and named for him. He was a cousin on their maternal grandmother's side. He became uncle to the Marx Bros by virtue of his subsequent marriage to their mother's sister, their Aunt Hannah.
@@kevinwachs5905 you are saying that Groucho was born and named Julius and it was a coincidence that later his aunt was married to a man called julius,if that is what you are saying ,its not true. In his autobiography " Groucho and me" ,Groucho wrote that there was an uncle called julius( i don't remember on which side),he was unmarried and seemed as rich ,so he was made the godfather of Groucho( so that Groucho would benefit from it sometime) later it was found that he was not at all rich and after he was became godfather he even started living with the marx family,on his death marx received some trivial things of his as he was the sole proprietor.
@Kiran , I am saying that Julius Schickler, the man that Groucho was named after, the man the family called "the General," the man who married Aunt Hannah, was still their cousin when Groucho was born in 1890. He married Aunt Hannah after that date, and by marriage became their uncle.
“I said YES whether I could hear him or not!” This has to be one of the best lines from any contestant! I hope this lovely young couple had a long and happy fuchsia together!
People in general had a much better sense of humor; able to enjoy jokes even about themselves. Imagine a world without internet, smart phones, cable TV, when people maybe watched tv an hour a day. People learned things by talking to each other; and jokes were a major social currency. People were always telling jokes; you always wanted to know if they had a new joke. But that was inspired by decades of great comedians and joke writers. Humor was one of the joys of living people relied on, that we have certainly lost.

Oh Whaoo.. Thats interesting!!! It really was the Big Man Himself Howard Hill. I did not know he was on this show. So strange to see Howard Hill right beside Groucho Marx.. Two VERY different people!
Wow, Howard Hill played it smart! Went with the highest question that they thought they could answer and then just want down 10 dollars each time to guarantee that they would be able to answer the next one! $400!
@@kevincramer9235 That was the point of the psychiatrist's ‘diagnosis’ of Groucho, that he had a tendency to interfere when guests were talking in an effort to make quips.
*I think they should have given the young married couple one of those "Who's buried in Grant's Tomb?" questions, since they seemed to need the money more than any of the other contestants.*
I love these episodes! I love the dumb young couple. Where are they now? Where's the kid? What car did he drive? Probably a Lincoln. She's a Thunderbird gal, I'd wager.
Gee, I guess Dan Quayle was a really smart guy after all. The fact that there's an obscure older spelling that's *technically* considered still acceptable doesn't mean anything. Go find me a person who would ever spell potato with an "e" in public-- one who wasn't vice president of the United States, that is. I also don't know who this comment is meant to replying to.
More to the point, there is more to the story that too many people conveniently overlook. The incident in question happened when Quayle was in a school judging a spelling bee. He was going by the answer sheet provided by the teacher.
Lois Simmons So the fact that he was reading the answer off a piece of paper means what? It means that he didn't know better than to just read the stupid answer off the page. Of all things for people to feel require a revisionist look, *this* incident? Quayle was a moron, politics completely aside. Find me three people not related to him who disagree.
1) I didn't start the topic. And it was replying to other comments that the YBYL quiz had more than one word with alternate spellings. 2) As has been noted it is an acceptable alternative spelling (or at least was until that day: here is a quote from the Oxford Dictionaries blog by Ammon Shea "The spelling of potatoe, while not terribly common, existed for almost the entire 20th century. For example, the New York Times was still occasionally spelling potato with an -e in 1988. In fact, one can easily find spellings of potatoe all the way up to 15 June of 1992"). 3) If I had been in that position, I wouldn't want to contradict a teacher in front of their (yes, proper use of "their" in the singular) 6th grade class. 4) I enjoy watching your postings of "You Bet Your Life". I don't come here for politics (I get enough of that elsewhere, I assure you) or research Quayle's IQ score and I have no interest in injecting same. But anyone treated grossly unfair pushes my buttons.
Lois Simmons You're saying you don't to discuss it, and I believe you on that point, but I was only responding to your **continuing** the discussion. I don't see why it's relevant in any way whether you **started** it. I was still replying to your comment. I didn't drag you into this thread against your will. And this isn't a political discussion in any way-- it's simply the discussion of a public figure who happened to be a politician. Is it a political discussion to discuss whether Ronald Reagan dyed his hair? Of course it isn't. My use of the phrase "politics completely aside" was a direct statement that I was not discussing Quayle's politics in any way whatsoever. You don't want to discuss it, and neither do I. I wish the original comment here had never been left in the first place. So let's drop it. No hard feelings. Glad you're enjoying the videos.
Groucho never disappoints! He always makes me laugh
Better than anything on t.v . today !!
The psychiatrist is bloody funny and witty! ...crack me up.."A sectional couch to treat him"
The psychiatrist nailed Groucho immediately and his mentality. That's why Groucho moved on so quickly.
That was one of the best shows. Groucho was in top form. That Desiree Sims was so cute and sweet.
So was her husband!!!

Thank you for sharing with the world! 😊
Groucho almost always excels but here is reaching his tops (again) Merci pour le téléchargement.
Pause at 17 seconds....thats my grandfather Edgar and Grandma Florence, first row, in the middle, bald guy, no glasses. They both loved Groucho.
I like Groucho asking the doctor about his "Uncle Julius" which is obviously just himself since that's his real name lmao
Yes and he also had an uncle Julius after whom he was named

8m0s - he said Stalagnite and Groucho corrected him and have the point :) The analysis was right - he is kind hearted.

Many very famous people were on his show before they were famous and not so famous! Watch them all and see!
The young couple are lovely I enjoyed them...they made my day with the story of doodles made me laugh ..

I love this man.
He is in the real estate business, his wife is twenty years old, she is pregnant and she is wearing white gloves in 1955... his car = Lincoln
If only Jay Leno could take a leaf out of The Grouch’s funny book!
Groucho sure cut off that shrink pretty quick.

Howard Hill should really have known it was Hastings……… he's an archer……...
Absolutely. Arrow in the eye etc. Agincourt many hundreds of years later and different bow.
5:33 "Interferiority" complex? Seems to be his own invention. Wanting to interfere with others or what exactly?
I think he was setting up a joke before Groucho cut him off.
I thought so too ...

So does Sean Hannity.
Surprised that Howard Hill did not know the Battle of Hastings since the entire Robin Hood story hinges on it.
I'm surprised too. I knew the answer.
They’re coming to take me away, hah hah.
Thought Groucho might tell the psychiatrist why he always refused a sanity clause in his contracts.
I googled “interferiority complex” (as opposed to inferiority complex), which Dr. Kraus said Groucho had but nothing comes up.
Loved this
4:10 the Doctor scores one on Groucho!

I've been watching a lot of these old episodes of You Bet Your Life. First time I've ever seen an African American couple in that audience..
Yeah, but Dan Quayle (former Vice-Presidential candidate) is vilified to this day for spelling potato "potatoe", which is also an acceptable spelling.

Well I knew the answer to the last question
HUNTING = CRUELTY. NEXT
15:25 he said "nakid son"
Groucho was beyond human linguistics, only Ronald Reagean came close.
Surely, you jest!
'rarify' is not wrong. It's an alternative spelling.
Every guest is carefully selected.
All associated with money etc
No..not so
calling a psychiatrist a doctor is like calling a chimp a horse. Neither make any sense.
Psychiatrists are all medical doctors first before specializing in psychiatry.
