- Because Groucho spent the whole previous week's show talking to Esther Bradley, there was no time for any of the other couples. As a result, Esther and her partner Joe, along with Pat Hunt (the young soldier who filled in for her in the quiz) return to compete against this week's other couples.
Groucho does a little bit of dancing with Mama Schwartz around 3:00.
COUPLE #1: Helen "Mama" Schwartz / Isaac Kashdan, international grand master chess player
COUPLE #2: Rose Westlake, who performs under the name of "Fifi the Sheep-headed Girl", and demonstrates where the name comes from by removing her hat / Miguel Pinell, from Nicaragua
COUPLE #3: Esther Bradley / Joe Egbert / Pat Hunt return.

![What's My Line? - Groucho Marx; Tony Randall [panel] (Oct 13, 1963)](/img/n.gif)
Groucho was a one in a million, a comic genius.
Isaac Kashdan (19 November 1905 in New York City - 20 February 1985 in Los Angeles) was an American chess grandmaster and chess writer. He was twice U.S. Open champion (1938, 1947). He played five times for the United States in chess Olympiads, winning a total of nine medals, and his Olympiad record is the all-time best among American players.

the golden years of television. I was born in September of 56, and still remember this TV show playing in the late 50's
The Golden Age of America as well... if you ask most folks what decade they would most like to experience and I believe they would say 'The 1950's'!
So in 1959, when you were 3, you remember this?
How can anyone dislike Groucho?? 🤩😂🎯😮
The people that were born from the 80s dont understand Groucho, for obvious reasons!
@@robertholman8730
I was born in 1990 and I grew up watching the Marx Brothers on tv.
I’ve been a big fan of Groucho’s ever since.
5/19/2024. Cigars.
George the announcer stays so professional no matter what anyone says or does.
Love George! What did he do before Groucho and after the show ended?
Tony Curtis's MOM. That was a GREAT surprise and a lot of fun. She looks like Tony!
Tony looked like his mother.
@Julius Ashcroft
Um, didn't god impregnate her, without actually doing anything, they call it immaculate conception, and jesus was his son,
jesus is not god, jesus was his son.
@@armybeef68 Gosh... Thank you for imposing your beliefs upon us all, now we know what to think and believe. 👀
@Julius Ashcroft Of course, I'm sure, that some time in recent past, some cocky comedian could have come up to her and say something like, "HEY, Queenie, how's it shakin'!"
Then, next thing you might hear is, (which would be from the queen), "OFF WITH HIS HEAD!" ;)
@Julius Ashcroft well, written. Your mamma taught you well. Ms. Mom Ashcroft must be proud.
You can tell Groucho is rooting for everyone when it comes to winning money
Oh my word , one can spot the likeness with Tony Curtis mother , how lovely.
Love, love, Fifi the sheep=headed girl! She is so charming even aside from the hair.
Wake up cameraman, you missed some Groucho dancing.
Lost to the ages
“Don’t they have revolutions for children?” Priceless!
I Love this show! They really don't make shows like they use to!
Did you just make that up?
They don't make Groucho's like they use to...
Groucho was brilliant. I wish I knew him.
Grocho was the BEST! Bill Cosby tried remaking this show in the eighties, and it was funny at times, but it just didn't have the same magic.
Also, this show is a fascinating study in sociology. A real cross section of American lives, from the late forties to the early sixties, are there to be studied via the lengthy conversations that took place each week. Students wondering who we are today, as a society, can study these earlier generations to help form some conclusions.
Really.... Some fascinating, fascinating, stuff!
Couldn't have said it better. . . my entry point to YBYL was Groucho, but what keeps me fascinated, for the most part, are the contestants.
Groucho Marx - You Bet Your Life will live in the cloud forever.
Bill Cosby 😂
Three nice people won a well deserved prize! Everything turned out right in this episode. :)
His lighting wit was amazing.
I had to watch this episode because of Esther, the last episode with her put a smile on my face!
I really liked the sheep headed woman. She should have been an actress
The most entertaining show I have ever seen on TV, just quality all the way and the irreplaceable Groucho
If I can't cheat , forget it!! LOL!!
I'm going to watch all of these
YIPEE!
Fenneman's the world's greatest straightman.
He kept it very professional. Great job.
Wow! I didn't put two and two together. Didn't know that was Curtis' mother. What a sweet lady! He was very handsome and excellent actor. And a nice guy. Like Jamie Lee too.
The sailor is a WWll vet as he has three hash marks on his sleeve which is at least 12 years of service.
This was a hoot.
I Love these! Thanks So Much for the Upload!!
Jamie Lee Curtis' grandmother
Yup, but not a whole lot of resemblance...ahem.
He's a trip. Better tv back then.
Loved the hair lady and her Mae West impressions!
Would love to have seen Groucho talking again at length with the last lady. Great to see her win some money!
He'll play Groucho blindfolded lol. He's got time tonight after the show! Lol
Groucho that is one funny man I can't get over that he got that bloke to show him to sit down hahaha
I saw Mrs Schwartz roll her eyes about Mr Cashton’s chess title. She’s probably thinking “that’s not a real job.” 😂😂😂 Rose has her nest egg and wants to keep it - smart lady. Miguel was really funny: “yes, I regret it.” Groucho knows how to get the best out of his guests.
Her son wrote in a book that she had severe depression and would beat him often. She is a dear one here
There was once a contestant who had 10 children. When Groucho ask her why she had so many she replied "idk, i guess we just love children". Without missing a beat Groucho says; " i love my cigar too but i take it out of my mouth once in awhile". The contestant was the girl from the movie "Cool Hand Luke". Yeah, i know!
i feel old when i watch these repeats from the 50's --------- was only 3 when this aired
And your parents, Mr. & Mrs. Frap, why did they name you 'Frizzle'? 👀
@@MrMenefrego1 ------ it's a longgggggg story!
@@frizzlefrap I've got time. 👀
Interesting link that Groucho and Tony Curtis were both in a movie with Marilyn Monroe
“I would not want to be sitting behind you at a hair raising movie” LOL
Re Groucho's tie: he and Fenneman wore the same suits every week. This was because occasionally segments that had been filmed on separate weeks were put together to make the most effective program (and Bernie Smith would have to invent a whole new secret word, one that no one had said). It's the same thing as on the George Reeves "Superman" episodes; the actors always wore the same clothes because portions of different episodes were filmed at one time and edited into the proper episode.
Esther was so sweet.
How can Groucho not see the resemblance. He looks just like her. The eyes always gives it away. And his real name is Schwartz.
Says FiFI died back in 2006. Nice looking lady at the time.
Isaac Kashdan has exactly the body language I would expect of a chess master :)
The only problem with the original version is accurate to the book “The Secret Word is Groucho” was the first two major sponsors went out of business. Elgin American Compacts and DeSoto folded. However Old Gold cigarettes, Toni Home Permanents, Lifebuoy Soap and Pepsodent Toothpaste lasted till the end
thats amazing tonys curtis mother
Yes I remember the smog alerts they had in L.A. in the 70’s
She had to know Tony Curtis personally, because she said he has big blue eyes, but everything on television was black and white.
HaHa Fi Fi the sheep headed girl!
When you go to your Plymouth dealer in 2024, bring mortgage papers.
what i find most fascinating between this and the prior episode, is that with the mother of tony curtis, an international chess champ, the crazy sheep lady, a guy from a country with one of the most used comedic appellate... its semi-bewildered housewife esther bradley who steals the show away from all of it!
FF11Freshstep She sure does! But I couldn't NOT use the image of the sheep-haired lady as the thumbnail. :)
she looks like one of those stupid troll dolls they had around in the 90's =^.~=
Esther was just as funny as Groucho. Groucho sure played off her and Esther never laugh at her own lines just like Groucho. Totally hilarious.
Tony Curtis' mother ... And now I learn He was the father of Jamie Lee Curtis
I decided to order a Dodge. DeSoto.! Has to be the year shown on this show! LMA0!!
🤕
Make sure to tell them Groucho sent you!
@@tbiz8459 I will !
Helen is the grandmother of Jamie Lee Curtis.
Vincint, your right its not the next week , Esther and all the other people( contestant ) are wearing the same cloths from " last week " they probably film 3 or 4 shows in a dat
I reckon 'Sheep Girl' would have been very interesting to hang out with.
What a personality, she even waved at the audience as she was ex siding the stage.
@@jeffdowler9130 'ex siding', is that a Show Business phrase?
The grandmother of Jamie Lee Curtis. This lovely lady was later diagnosed with Schizophrenia.
her son, Tony, resembles her mom, a lot !!
Tony Curtis spoke about his mother long after her death. He never knew from day to day if she'd slap him in the face or punch him in the face.
@@florinest Sadly mental health issues were still on the fringe in the medical community back then, though we have come a long way...even now it is still in the dark ages for many who suffer.
Just love Tony Curtis is Mum poor and humble woman brilliant programme just look at this compared to the rubbish we was watching in the 1950s
I'm disappointed that Groucho didn't get interview Mrs. Bradley again. She barely spoke this time!
True,Tony's last name was Shwartz
Groucho and Gene Rayburn were the best
❤️❤️❤️
The first Afro on tv!
If it's February 1956, why are they selling the 1954 Plymouth?
Perhaps, Marty McFly might have the answer.
Lots of these episodes were missing the intro, producers later compiled the shows with whichever intro/outro they could find within a couple years.
True story. In the late 80's I bought a 54, 4 door Plymouth for 700.bucks. And I was driving it into Dallas on a hot summer day with my beautiful nose in the air girlfriend dress to the hilt and she was fanning her self, with no windows down because that would mess her hair up. So I said pull on that lever and it will open up a vent on your legs and cool you down. She did and out blow dust, cob webs, and dried old leaves all over her and she was so pissed. Great memories.
@@jeffdowler9130 And did you then "open the door, push her out and take it on the lam", Groucho style?
@@jeffdowler9130 Great story! lol... was the romance at an end after that?
Shows how old this show is when that woman, who doesn’t look that old, remembers the SF earthquake.
Rose Westlake aka Fifi does a really good job of stealing this show, she out quips Groucho for sure, and she's not a bad looker ether. Ha ha.
I thought the same thing until she removed her hat... wow! It’s amazing it all fits in her hat! She might have been used to talking in front of crowds because of her hair performance.
She was in a carnival, where she Played a goat woman sideshow.
The mom of Bernie Schwartz - Awesome!!!
❤
second couple Rose Westlake the woman gets to hear Groucho Marx use a double entendre .
top man.
I feel your pain, Fifi. But instead of cashing in on my abnormal hair texture, I just got the shit bullied out of me by my smooth-haired "peers".
here is some info on Isaac Kashdan as well...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_Kashdan
This sounds like living in 2024?
7.40 What does she say?
"You would just lose yourself"
I have always suspected that Tony Curtis had a mother. Glad to have my suspicions confirmed. ☺😉
Tony curtis`s mother!
Rose looks like a hot tamale for sure. Something tells me she wears a nice little outfit when she dances.
You Bet Your Life #55-20 Fifi the Sheep-headed Girl; Esther Bradley returns ('Door', Feb 9, 1956). 28.10.23. The lass with the large hair... Buzz Osbourne?
10:30 FYI CDG didn't open until 1974.
Wonder if you got a reduction if you told that Groucho sent you?
They gave free cigar
Is Fifi part African American?
Yup I think so..
I guess the Hitlerstache wasn't offensive back then
Hilter's mustache was narrower and not shaved above the lip. Hitler and Chaplin and Oliver Hardy shared, what was 100 years ago, a very popular mustache (they have one mustache each -- they didn't share the same mustache).
@@florinest LOL
Charlie Chuck's mother.
Sheep girls.hair good.good.handle for,backdoor,action,
lol,,,Groucho fucked her before and after the show
Holy Mackerel.
That Sheep head woman is the daughter of the bride of Frankenstein. 😆
She looks like a cross between Aunt Bee and the Bride of Frankenstein.
This was before they perfected afro hairdos.
I can hair ya.
If only a Vape was an aphrodisiac in 2024
Nothing has changed the crazy people still seek out attention.
😂😂😂 For sure!!!
I don't think this really was a week later: Groucho is wearing the same tie!
They wore the same outfits throughout the 9 years!
I wonder what her hair looks like DOWN THERE.
Probably the same as her head hair considering the timeframe
you mean, NOW?
@@acousticshadow4032 No - not now.
...and here is tony curtis' wiki page.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Curtis
I like any kind of movie as long as Tony curtis isnt in it....I almost have to agree with Groucho on that.
Groucho was joking!!
I'm glad the trio won the money. Groucho made just a bit too much fun of Esther in the last episode.
Mid-jesting in the last episode, he did ask her if it bothered her, and she said no. So she basically set herself up for it. As soon as Groucho had the "OK", he ran with it. lol
They didn't have oversensitive PC Millennials back then
Exactly, anyone born in 70s and up doesn't have a clue!!
You know they say that Groucho never knew who the guest were ahead of time but I feel like he slipped ! He called her “ mamma”
Before she said publicly she was Tony’s mother ! coincidence ? Lol
But still I love these shows!!!!!!!
She said right off the bat that everyone called her "Momma".
I got a letter from Tony's mama when I garbanalized him
Fifi must have lost her job a decade letter, as there were dozens of hippies walking around with that kinda hair.
they blame the contestants for using up all the time when on every other show Groucho stops the talking and starts the game whenever wants. Disingenuous! Don't tell me it happened 70 years ago ... I'm too involved :)
The original Howard stern show. Very little difference
j lucas I say the same thing. Howard Stern even sounds a little like Groucho, with a little bit of Alan Alda. Howard, like Groucho is hilarical.
Very little difference except Groucho was a million times funnier and didn't ask contestants to get naked and throw baloney on their mayonaise-covered asses. Even Howard Stern woud find your comparison ridiculous,
@@florinest And what's wrong with bolony on a womans ass?
Groucho chased young ass all his life!
I see OJ , and he looking scared , and I would be to cause de got police all deep in dis here
Ya don't have a clue, 😮
