- If you're expecting fireworks when Groucho encounters a Rabbi (thinking of some of the stories of his hilarious encounters with other clergymen), just remember that this is 1956. Groucho is completely respectful. But he does get off a good line that I won't spoil, about actors in synagogues.
COUPLE #1: Jules Strongbow / Rita Chalmers
COUPLE #2: Rabbi Nussbaum / Mary Bramson, young girl
COUPLE #3: Joe & Ivy Messer, a couple with 8 kids, including 3 sets of twins

Very quick smart little girl , proud of her Dad , back when 11 year olds thought they were 11 now they think they are adults! My kids included !
I am impressed how a young girl of her age standing with discipline, respect. Not interrupting the two gentlemen.
If you were 11 then, you would be older than Moses lol. Just kidding your kid included is funny. 3 years ago, let hope you are still with us, your kids lol
Mary-David Sheiner (nee Bramson) was a TV writer in the '70s and '80s, in case any one was curious.
What shows in particular did she write?
@@leroyproud294 Happy Days, Jeffersons
Awesome
I looked her up.She also wrote for The Mary Tyler Moore Hour, The Tony Randall Show and The Love Boat.
Great show. Groucho's always on top of it. This young girl is adorable as well. Family entertainment at it's best.
It's like they are looking back at us through the constraints of time, unknowingly reminding us that we have failed them.
What???
Mary David reminds me of my own daughter, both in looks and personality. I think Groucho would have liked talking to her!
Ayyyy
But more than that, I consider you a man who has no parallel in witt and spontaneity. Nice line.
Joe Messer died in 2012. Joe and Ivie were married 66 years.
Joe Messer, age 82, resident of Phenix City, AL.th-cam.com/video/HwHz8BSX_mQ/w-d-xo.html
She died in 2018 aged 86.
@@ivanprekajski1993Don’t know why I’m this😢but I am.
Mary David and I were both 11 in 1956 and I hope she is still enjoying life, as we are both now 73. Where did the time go Mary ????
I wish I knew, those were the best of times.
She (Mary-David Sheiner) became a television writer (Happy Days, Love Boat, etc.).
I was born in 1944 and fondly remember watching Groucho and enjoy watching again because I missed some of the humor that was beyond me at that time.
Pretty deep rabbit hole but I'm stoked to find this video. Jules Strongbox was my grandfather and I've only seen bits and pieces of video of him. Thanks for the upload!
Groucho: “do you notice any difference?” Brilliant!
Wonderful compliment from the Rabbi, but regular viewers of this show will know that already!
I love when the guests outwit Groucho.
Groucho: When will your family reach the size your aiming for?
Messer: Well, several years ago. 😂
This is a great show
I watched several of the most famous and accomplished Announcers from the 1930's-1950 era on a 1978 episode of "Tomorrow" with the Great, Tom Snyder. George Fenneman was asked if he and Groucho had ever had any major differences or arguments, to which Mr. Fenneman responded, "No, never... Groucho truly cared about people, especially young people."
Watching these old shows is fascinating to me since it gives you a kind of window into a specific period of time. You can see how people talked and how they dressed up and the also the way they thought about things at that specific point of time. Though I dont really grow nostalgic about these times since they had their own issues also.
Groucho is simply brilliant!
This little girl is so pretty and smart..the son of the reverend is taking the father's place and so far..so good..
He is not a reverend, is he?

The Messers had 21 grandchildren and 52 great-grandchildren. I'd say they won in the end.
I'd say their genes won.
¹¹
btw the odds of having 3 sets of identical twins in succession is approx 11.7 million to 1
the odds in a family with no twin births is much much higher
I have identical twin girls age 6
actually, recent studies in parasitic twins has suggested that almost all pregnancies start as twins. Just most people never know it.
My mother used to subscribe to McCall’s magazine. Every issue contained a clothes pattern you could sew at home.
Lot of people don’t know unchained melody came from an old movie , before the righteous brothers or Elvis did it , these questions were for adults not kids ,
Three sets of twins. Wow.
Groucho sincerely a good person
5m56s - As an Aussie great to hear Groucho give the accent a try :) He did better than the Simpsons.
I watched late late night reruns of this in NH in the 60’s. Thanks for posting. They are as poorly edited as the ones I watched lol. (In a good way)
I always loved Groucho Marx.
Rabbi Nussbaum was really handsome!
Is there any other contestant who so aptly described Groucho Marx's humour as Rabbi Max Nussbaum does here?
+Iain Schofield description of humour?
"A man who knows no parallel in wit and spontaneity".
@Siegbert Landgraf Ditto on both accounts: country and age.
hilarious!!!!
$330 was worth $3000 in 1956
She would be 78 today.
Here's a link to a photo of McCall's Fashion Promoter, Rita Chalmers. She's pictured with Miss America 1955, Lee Meriwether.

J. Strongbow (John Bilbo) b.Jan 22, 1906.
I wonder if Mr strongbow is related to the strongbow brothers tag team from the seventies and eighties.
Wondered that, too, and looked him up. Apparently no relation. The later Strongbows were Luke Joseph Scarpa (Chief Jay) and Francis Huntington (Jules). Couldn't find much on the '30s wrestler here, though there are a few matches posted on YT.
The later Strongbows took the name from him. He was the booker and a promoter for the Los Angeles wrestling group, which featured wrestlers like Gorgeous George, Count Billy Vargas and Classy Freddie Blassie. Jay Strongbow wrestled much of his career under his own name, Jay Scarpa (not remotely Native American) and the later Jules Strongbow had wrestled as Frank Hill, before joining Scarpa.
Suwannee River ??
Twins ?
There sure seemed to be a lot more teen marriages back then
@Mary C That was an interesting story and explanation. But it begs the question, Was your mother unhappy with the marriage? I mean was that her reasoning behind her advising you not to marry until after you were 21?
@Mary C Thank you fort so kindly answering my question. Your Mother is quite right, I guess we all think we will be young forever... but time has a way of catching-up with us all. As far as your father never maturing emotionally, many of us men have a problem with that. One of my daughters asked me once if boys, "ever grow up?" And I asked her if she thought I was grown up, she said "Well Daddy, Mom doesn't think so." lol Have a Merry Christmas, Mary.
The people with the 8 kid's got the bone!
Look at the audience... How long do you think it will take before that style of eyeglasses will return?
I often wonder if anyone recognizes a parent in the audience
Barbie you don't know a rude person when you see one ,groucho was rude to the contenders and george.
How come the big question next week will be worth $1,500 and at that time the quiz show had the $64,000 dollar question?
0 80
What a clever young lady & Groucho as expected takes the mickey out of child & the Rabbi its sounds stupid
Mary David is kind of wonder...lovely and awkward beyond belief. As gentle and funny as Groucho is with her, he almost seems a little cruel and inhuman asking her those questions about her name and boyfriends. Breaks my heart a little to see such a smart girl, probably much smarter than most adults, with likely a far more beautiful soul made awkward, even if Groucho too had something like a beautiful soul.
I think he was fine in his treatment of her. And she seemed to be fine with his questions.
Eight Children from that couple back then. No wonder Trump has a chance at this point.
@ ManInTheBigHat
, Oh my, is the "Tolerant Liberal" casting aspersions upon the Southerners of America? You sure insinuated their ignorance, Mr. Tolerance! & Not only did he have a "chance", HE WON! GOD BLESS AMERICA & GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP!
@@MrMenefrego1 Oh yes, quite the role model for the children of America - disgustingly sleazy, philandering, name-calling, thin-skinned 73 year-old man-baby - a purely self-serving con-man who suckered gullible god-fearing rubes without his having prayed or read a bible in his life. Which apparently makes you nothing more than just another god-fearing hypocrite. And we haven't even gotten to Putin-loving treasonous wanna-be tyrant. And for the record, he won the popular vote by 3 million - that's where America is. Far from god-blessing him, I hope he's taken out of office as quickly and efficiently as possible before it's too late, before further damage or worse - calamity, All-caps not needed.
@@alevine1951 No collusion and the democrats are making fools of themselves. Enjoy the next 4 years of office scumbag!
@@alevine1951 and Billy blow your horn Clinton raped Ms Broderick and molested Monika. He is the ONLY pres to be IMPEACHED wow what an honor! The greatest philander since JKF
ManInTheBigHat you seem to have missed about 70 years of history since.
Oy! What's up with the starched shirt and no humor Rabbi?
He is very funny.
God this was so sexist...lol....
Stop retroactively projecting onto the past
Not sexest at all just a different time when the genders knew who they were.
Yes, when people could take a joke and laugh!!!!
@@historylover1679
YES!! You're 💯%RIGHT!!
Woke halfwit?
He thinks his funny but comes across nothing more than cheap jokes towards people with insults & all in bad taste
I'm sorry; are you referring to Groucho Marx? One of the funniest human beings this planet ever produced. If you can watch Animal Crackers or Duck Soup and not laugh at Groucho and his brothers, you need to seek professional counseling. Even more, read Groucho's books and his letters; wonderful stuff, including a series of letters he exchanged with Warner Bros, when they tried to threaten a lawsuit over the name A Night in Casablanca. He danced rings around them with wit and they surrendered.
Perhaps you’re just clueless?
Another phycho .
