- This is a particularly funny show, with too many highlights to mention. But definitely don't miss the bit in the quiz section with Betina Consolo starting around @13:35.
Her partner, Angelo, gets confused about states versus capitals, and Groucho tries to throw them a bone with a "make up" question. Groucho knew Angelo could answer it because he'd just said it a moment earlier, but it still doesn't work-- Betina's response when Angelo stumbles is hilarious. And they end up winning anyway!
And then there's Prince Monolulu, who has to be seen to be believed.
COUPLE #1: Peggy Slater / Don Davis, One-man band who's studying forestry
COUPLE #2: Mrs. Betina Consolo, Italian husband-hunter returns, for her 3rd appearance / Angelo Cerra
COUPLE #3: "Prince" Ras Monolulu, international race-track tout / Madeline Dudley

Lmao. "A guy behind you with a net" Groucho was so witty.
Betina is hilarious!
How much we have lost in the last 65 years. So sad. Love this show- it’s still so funny.
I love this episode
I'd like to know how many people who met on this show actually went on to get married.
Also... Don's an untapped comedy character resource. Amateur entomologist one-man band straight man. Gold.
Ms. Dudley is before her time, using her maiden name and her married name because she "doesn't want to lose her identity."
My mother did the exact same thing.
You Bet Your Life - Episode #1 is the prior episode (0726 - 03/21/1957).
Prince Honolulu was great. Spion Kop 1920 Epsom Derby he tipped.
Prince Mololulu, a colourful personality: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Monolulu
Wow thanks for the info
The first guy with the glasses = Sheldon Cooper
Yeah Bettina, Betty
What a hilarious scam artist Prince Monolulu was (aka Peter Carl Mackay 1881-1965) Here is a Wikipedia link telling about him. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Monolulu#Family_background_and_early_life
He was my grandfather and his name was Peter Carl Mckay
Seriously? You're really his grandson? What a delight to get a comment from you. I don't really know anything about him beyond what's in the Wikipedia article-- I don't know how old you are, so forgive my asking in ignorance if you ever met him personally/remember him? He was quite a fascinating character-- he was also a mystery guest on an episode of the BBC version of "What's My Line" a few years before this show!
That is so marvelous that he was your grandfather!! Thank you for sharing that information. I agree. Did you ever have the pleasure of meeting him? If you did, I have no doubt it was an unforgettable experience. Many thanks and blessings!
No unfortunately he died before I was born but my father told me some great stories about his life. He was a very interesting man.
Sister Veronica thank you sister my father now passed used to tell me about prince monolulu today i googled his name. bless u sister please add me on facebook my name is ians Mikhail
Why are you unable to post the complete episode? I hate it when you guys edit out beginnings and ends of TV show episodes.
Do it yourself slacker
Warning: You don't need college to go camping!
Lol...
Meet the first Ethiopian "prince" scammer.
19. 52 ......what is he saying making Groucho laugh?
Gesundheit?
"Mazel Tov".
Prince choked to death on a strawberry cream chocolate from a box of black magic chocolates ! True story

Thanks so much for taking the time and trouble to post these irreplaceable shows starring the irreplaceable Groucho Marx and George Fenneman.
This episode is one of my favorites. All the characters are hilariously funny. Groucho of course is tops 👍😂
I love this era. The people were polite and simple folk. Just being themselves. I was 12 when this was aired. It was one of my favorite shows. By the by. A thousand dollars in 1957 would be about $9400 today.
that guy really looks like Wally Cox
Great interaction between Don Davis and Groucho. Hilarious dry wit from both. Thanks for posting.
You can't find entertainment like this today.
Grouch was spot on, that guy DID look like Wally Cox! this is one of the more entertaining episodes, for sure....
check wikipedia
@@arcmayAskvanpay I found an entry for Donald R. Davis, a lepidopterist (butterfly specialist) who was born in 1934, and is still alive. If this is the same guy, he was only about 23 years old when this episode appeared. Could it possibly be the same guy? (On second thought, it's probably not him, as this contestant said he went to UCLA and Berkley, while the Donald Davis on Wikipedia attended the University of Kansas and Cornell University. And, on top of that, Don Davis must have been well over 23 when he appeared on this show.) *That said, he still really looked and sounded like Wally Cox!*
@@519djw6 This guy said he chases butterflies.

Thank you for sharing the greatest show on earth……..❤ Groucho 😊
" I GOT AH HORSE " I GOT AH HORSE "
The Italian couple is hilarious
Of course, lots of talk about great food! 😘😋🤗
The prince was a well known face in east London, he was big in horse racing circles.
He smiles like Morgan Freeman.
Groucho must recruit these contestants. Lol
I love Wally cox but oh that is not his name is it? Funny man.
Did you ever notice that two black people always appear together? In other words, they never have a pair of different races talking to Groucho.
It might be hard to tell because it's black and white, but their are mixed race pairs regularly. People from all over the world. Iran, India, Egypt, Korea... all with the same flirty banter. And I remember an episode in particular, with a caucasian woman and a black boy. The boy even sat on groucho's lap.
But you might be right that there haven't been any black/white "couples". Probably because he would been strung up higher than the duck, showing something like that on TV at that time.
Nope, I never noticed. I’d rather just enjoy a classic show without picking apart any minor imperfections.
Your right Lori Hansen
I noticed that too with all the flirting and innuendo you saw on 'you bet you're life '
I never saw ONE inter racial couple on any of the episodes
Can you imagine a TV show these days asking guests to come back the next week because time is up? Would be a raucous
"Wally cox" 😂😂😂😂😂
I can fully understand Groucho addressing the first guy as Wally Cox, in fact I’m sure it really was him!
What a wonderful glimpse of America in the 1950s, Churchill said:
“History with its flickering lamp stumbles along the trail of the past, trying to reconstruct its scenes, to revive its echoes, and kindle with pale gleams the passion of former days."
That's one of the main reasons I love this series. As much of a Groucho fan as I am, he's not always in peak form in these shows. You can tell when the contestants stimulate him to ad lib vs when he's falling back too heavily on the corny prewritten jokes he always had available to him. But it's always fascinating to me to see the parade of ordinary folks they had as contestants over the years, because unlike other game shows, the focus here was on conversation, so you really get a glimpse into 50s and early 60s America that you can't get anywhere else.
Thanks for the comment!
Groucho Marx - You Bet Your Life A bygone era indeed. Not only for America but for the world in general. People were well mannered, polite and not shabbily dressed.
Groucho Marx - You Bet Your Life What this conversations also reveals, is that the "ordinary folks" are not that ordinary at all ! ;). Many are *very* interesting, and some are just hilarious! ;D
SuperWinterborn Oh yes, though by "ordinary" I just mean "non-celebrity". The truth is, YBYL contestants were screened very thoroughly, either for their personalities or an interesting background, so they're not exactly "average" people in that respect. .
the prince is from one of the lost tribes, which the new jews, i think, later recoginized. ''shalom''.
8:16 George is like uh... No 😂
9m56s Betina's "meh" was decades ahead of it's time.
@@burrbonus 9 minutes and 56 seconds in ?!?!
MANY people of ethnicity background said that. My Polish grandmother and her gand all said it. It is used today only because it is ridden off of these immigrants back in the day. Had nothing to do wiht ahead of time.
The jumpy fur unequivocally itch because fiberglass socioeconomically copy per a cluttered stretch. holistic, eatable nitrogen
The nauseating pair probably soothe because caution basically rely along a coherent rugby. detailed, hilarious fiction
Did you take your meds?
