Norma Lee Weltz is my grandma! I knew she was a swimmer in college but she never told me she was on Groucho Marx's TV show! This is so crazy!
So happy you found out.......
Rachel Cabot
, How awesome, must have-been quite a shock to see this out of nowhere. Now you better go and get your share of the winnings in your inheritance! 👀
She's beautiful!
She is a real sweetheart!
Your grandma's hot
Groucho "How did you ever get a name like, Yuka Salamunic?"
Yuka Salamunic "Just like you did, my parents gave it to me."
Groucho "As far as I know your parents didn't know me!"
🤣
Groucho wipes the floor with any modern comedian, just a wit like no other. He speaks in movie scripts, just classic line after classic line!
Its because of his s many years in vaudeville
So many people in awe of him. But I wonder, what do our younger people say? I'd love to get some of them here to watch . . .
@@henrybrowne7248 true! good point
The younger kids probably wouldn’t get him?
@@henrybrowne7248 23. Love it. I can see how dad humor developed to be what it is.
This is an amazing channel! I LOVE old time radio and I was literally born to Jack Benny. (It was playing in the hospital room) Whenever I'm upset, scared, or depressed (puberty sucks) I always turn on something older, like YBYL, Abbot and Costello, or especially Jack Benny. I just discovered this channel today and I can't wait to work my way through all the episodes.
Noah Falk I'm so glad you discovered the channel, Noah. This is a great series, criminally forgotten today due to having been out of reruns for so long.
+Groucho Marx - You Bet Your Life I first heard about YBYL when I was a young, young boy. My dad talked fondly of watching it when he was quite young (he liked the duck). It took me getting into the DVD/Internet age before I ever saw an episode. Shameless. This is better than 95 percent of the crap on TV today. To my knowledge, it's not been syndicated here in years.
This is a 13 year old kid watching this?
I could watch this everyday.. and I actually do :D
Yep..me too.
@ socialdemo These kind of shows could/ would never exist under commie, rule.
I do the same!
Let’s go back....
Me too!
So this is 50’s America is it?
Looks fascinating to someone born in 80’s United Kingdom.
Yes, it is a glimpse into 1950s America. But you will notice a lot of people who comment that these were the 'good old days' probably weren't even alive back then. I was a kid in the 50s and it was not as 'good' as they claim. There were many dysfunctional families who set the stage for the upheaval of the 60s.
@@indetif839 The dysfunctional families were those who went to church every week to buy snake oil.
Groucho was and always will be a vocabulary genius. His classic routine and commentary is a great lesson in comedy, social observation, class and observation. Many "comedians" and "show host of today" will learn a lot by watching Groucho and his graft.
"Class"? Almost every word out of his mouth was some kind of filth.
Brilliant! Groucho had lost none of his wit, and the 18 year old at 14:18 was gorgeous, even though she looked in her mid twenties, but people matured earlier in those days!
If she was around now she would do OnlyFans.
Yucca Salamunich was a famous sculptor who made busts of many famous actors etc.
I've watched several episodes of these (and I'll continue watching), and they are truly funny. Thanks for uploading them.
Will Rogers was a native of Claremore,Oklahoma not Claremont..
Every so often, I come back for my Groucho fix. He is the best!
I always laugh when I watch these old Groucho shows he was amazingly witty and was never at a loss of words and everything just seemed to be more real and not phony like today😂
Groucho was at his finest in this show.
Thanks a lot for uploading this.
Groucho was such an amazing person . He had an amazingly quick wit and such a brilliant soul ...Groucho was one of a kind .
He was a pervert and a creep.
THEY MUST HAVE THE DATE WRONG. The cars on commercial are NOT 1951's They are 1957 to 1960
There's no way this show is from 1951. The cars ADVERTISED are from at least 1957
Wow 19 and 25 they both look, act, and sound close to 40! DON'T SMOKE KIDS!!
Facts they look unusually older than what they are admitting to wow.
Wish there was a great show like this one. Great escape from reality
He sure was quick witted.
It was all scripted.
"You fell in love with her left nostril? What was wrong with her right one?"😂
Dude's got a nostril fetish.
Announcing. . . You Bet Your Life reruns: Day 2!
To facilitate more interesting discussions and such, we're going to be doing a rewatch of the entire series from the beginning (such as is available), one episode on Saturday and one on Sundays (We've been "rerunning" What's My Line episodes on the WML channel during the week, and it's worked out well).
I'll post a message on the episodes as they come up, but you can also follow along by either: (a) Joining our YBYL Facebook group, where I'll be posting links to the episodes, or (b) Looking at the main YBYL channel page, where the current rerun episode will be featured prominently at the top.
Every video on the YBYL channel, too, will show a link at the end of the video for the currently featured rerun episode.
I hope you follow along with us, and better yet, join the Facebook group if you haven't already! Today's episode is the first actually broadcast episode of YBYL that I have available on the YBYL channel. Enjoy!

Um. . . okay. . . that's why I noted the man's name in the description. Why are you telling me this? To correct my spelling?
the salt of munich . ha ha
Yeah...spelled Yucca Salamunich. Sorry to break this to you ... but spelling does matter.
Groucho's wit is there genius. no one like this today
where n
It was a scam, rehearsed beforehand.
You obviously have NO idea what you are talking about.
Sense a little bitterness and insecurity there.
Should probably see someone about that.
Everything on tv is scripted. If you don't realize that, then YOU are the one who should "see someone about that." Condescending ****.
The librarian that keeps licking her lips is driving me crazy 😁.
Whatever.
That woman has to be lying about her age she looks thirty something .
Everybody looked old back then. The guy who said he was 25 actually looked 50.
People aged prematurely back then.
"I'm nineteen!" *looks 45*
I love this show. Groucho Marx was so funny. In this trouble, we need a little laughter.😊
Love watching GROUCHO. Want to view all the shows on u TUBE. THANK you so much for posting.
Canadian here. Kind of crazy that I actually knew the answer to the $2500 question, given everything that's gone on in US politics over the last 4 years (it's currently 2020).
"I used to know a tenor named Nyna". I don't get it. Oh, wait . . It's not a play on numbers, is it? Hm. Maybe a Tener named Niner perhaps.
Good Episode! Used to see this in reruns a lot about 1979-80
The finned cars at 0:26 are 1957-59 models, I think. Certainly not 1951. Someone named 'Molly Brown' at dreamwidth dot org says the Yucca Salamunich episode was broadcast in 1956. Those do look like 1957 cars.
Well, the date of the program is correct. But it's very likely that the opening credits were slapped on from the film of a much later show (not by me). I never noticed it before now. Nice catch.
There were I believe four different formats over the years. This, which involved the least amount of money, was the first so 1951 sounds right.
It's too bad that most of the shows from 1950 , 51 , 52 are not on line.....anyone who has these please post and share with all of us Groucho and Marx Brothers Fans
I enjoy this great show. Groucho’s wit was incomparable.
I feel groucho could understand my sense of observational humor but only on Tuesdays when im awake
Well what do you know, that’s me!
For some reason, this is same episode 54-21 that I just watched, which features Edith Head. Right number but wrong season?
I'm really confused by this comment. This is not the same episode at all. Edith Head isn't in this. The episode numbers and dates for both posts are correct. I don't know what went wrong for you, but these are two different videos with correct information on both. If I'm missing something, please feel free to clarify!
Jimmie Dee I dunno but two Heads may be better than one.
Groucho was a genius and perfect game show host and should have had his own talk show.
I use my inflation app to see what the money is worth now.
It’s delightful, it’s delovely, it’s Desoto.
Damn, groucho was skillful and very wise in his words.
It was all written for him by freemasons.
The only challenge in the quiz is to figure out if you’re smart enough to bet everything all the time.
I told the children here on Christmas day that l named my owl grocho and they said "wow that's a good name"
I noticed there was no orchestra on this early show. Jack Meakin's music really added to YBYL.
There was always an orchestra...Jerry Fielding was director
@@marymarysmarket3508My point was that in this episode there wasn't a single note played by any orchestra. Either Meakin or Fielding.
Steady there Yuk!
Grouchor was a very smart man.
Comedy, the way I like it!! Fun, witty and no nasty nonsense
Are you kidding? Almost everything he said was sexual or perverted in some way.
Dig those "Pinks and Greens"
Nina Kramer, 19 and going on 40.
LOL!
Great show and thanks for posting. (Note: if this show is truly from 1951, then the commercial from DeSoto shown at the beginning actually does not correspond to this particular episode of YBYL. The models shown are from the late 50’s, most likely from ‘57 or ‘58.)
Groucho really enjoyed ole Yuka, i can tell
Back when I was watching these live, I couldn't answer any. No it's so easy.
Those first contests were rude to Groucho -- specially the goofy girl
is it just me or the first 2 contestants look older than what they say they are? (19 and 24) is it because of the clothes or demeanor? or did people want to look older before whereas now people generally want to look younger?
I don't think teenagers were invented then, not until James Dean movies
I know, huh? Norma looks 35 or 40 here. Weird!
Seriously, having grown up in that Era; it is easy to say the 18-25 year old age bracket, tended to look 'older' by today's standard. They were more mature and had a more 'adult' demeanor and sensibility, then the 'spoon-fed', throw-away generation of today. No discussion, just the fact. They grew up and took their place, and didn't depend on some self-imposed entitlement mentality that only serves to 'enslave', rather than enlighten or empower.
I know! It's the hair styles and clothes....What I noticed about this is that these people probably continued using these hair styles when they were older, so when we look at young people with these styles they seem older. Some of these women on these shows say they are in their 20's but seriously look like they're in their 40's!
I know it seems weird but smoking was much, much more prevalent then and that could have "aged" them. Or they were just full of crap when they gave their ages. Plus, she seems pretty snooty at times and that can really age a person.
Funny guy wonder if he the same off camera .. Claremont haha granite
Yucca Salamunich
I remember all these great shows as a little kid, what’s my line etc...
He is so funny wow compared to jay leno
"I used to know a tenor named Nina ("niner"): If that was just off the top, that's pretty impressive!
It was all scripted.
Great show!
Smoking during the show
Is this a game show or comedy show?
What’s with Fenneman’s eyebrows....😹
Seems like Groucho was using a stage voice--rather loud--as one would in the theater without amplification...Maybe the mikes were only for TV pickup. Is this an early episode, I mean, did the theater have a P.A. system? Questions, questions...
I would guess that at least part of that was habit, still deeply ingrained from his years of playing theaters without amplification. But that's just a guess and maybe it's something as simple as his hearing loss causing him to speak up more than necessary.
U actually do not bet your life!
Are all your YBYL episodes (all 121 here) the only ones that exist?I mean,that are, at least available at this time?You know,that are not "lost", or any in so-called "private" collections.Maybe a kinescope of certain shows were never made either.Or are you missing any?
spiritualED Probably half of the series was lost decades ago. As far as I know, other than some scattered films that may exist-- as you said-- in private collections or archives or at the Library of Congress, about 200 episodes survive in the form of 16mm films used for reruns. I have a few more episodes to post, but I'm missing several dozen episodes that were rerun extensively on TV and which shouldn't be hard to find, except that this series is impossibly difficult to track without a good log and a lot of dedicated effort.
There were also 36 additional complete episodes that came mostly from the Library of Congress's 35mm prints, released in two DVD sets by Shout Factory in 2003 or so, none of which are on my channel (and probably never will be, due to a new copyright notice that was put on those shows).
That's what I know, after years of trying to find out whatever I can. There are others who know a lot more, but who aren't cooperative. It's very frustrating to say the least.
It's working for me this time. Probably operator error before. By the way, having the credits included, as they are here, is extremely helpful in sorting out misinformation found on other websites. Thanks and please include full credits, whenever you can. Based on the DeSotos, this print is from a rerun, And now, back to the show.....
I'm very late responding to this so my apologies, but somehow this is the first I'm seeing your comment. I always post the full show when I have it available, but bear in mind, *many* of the episodes with Desoto openings and closings are simply grafted on, identically, from one show to the next. The ones like this come from a particular company's public domain DVDs, and all the shows had the exact same openings, closings and commercials, across many seasons of shows (I can't remember which DVD company it was-- they all blur together). Just don't be misled-- as often as not, the openings and closings are essentially fake, to the extent that they don't belong on the shows they're on.
Groucho was one of the greatest wits ever he influenced so many comedians.
No way is this from 1951 with those late '50's DeSotos. More like 1958 or...?
*sigh* Have you ever seen an episode of YBYL?
Thats a '57 Desoto in the promo so this episode can't be from 1951
Or maybe it's the wrong opening to the right show. A little research would tell you this HAS to be 1951.
Awww
Great
🥰🥰🥰
😂😂😂
i know where i can find uranium too its in the dictionary . along with Yucca Saltof munich
Nancy Pelosi!
15:05 "Ti imaš veoma dobru glavu!" - haw haw!
Changed microphones
Those are RCA BK-4 mics, nicknamed "Starmaker", and well suited to the purpose of this show. Hard to say how long these were in use before they switched to the capsule-shaped 77-Ds as this is the only episode I can find from between 1950 and 1954.
@@TVonthePorch thanks
What did he say when it blacked out??????!!
He said, "Who turned out all the lights?"
no he was going to give advice but anyways thank you so much for uploading this, im 20 and i just discovered this guy and this show on youtube cause of you and i love it! its really funny, thanks again :)
ediththeo I'm always thrilled to read that someone has newly stumbled on this show. Welcome! And just to be clear, I was only making a very bad joke-- I don't remember the part of the video you were asking about. :)
This lady is really stiff....
Don’t think she likes the quartermaster much...☠️
De Soto were a cheap
Now I c why they’re single lol
What a peculiar show. o_O
When sexism was not only allowed but encouraged. 🤪
No...it's when everyone could take a joke and could laugh at themselves as well as others.
When men were men and women were women and they both knew the difference.
@@MrJamespeyton nothing sexist or close minded here! It’s funny but it’s also a demonstration of the clear and present sexism that existed in early America. Still does in so many ways. Women are marginalized around every corner. What could the men in charge be so afraid of? 😉
@@marymarysmarket3508 okay if you’re a housewife heterosexual. Any deviation from that norm & you’re an outcast.
Early America? This show isn't from the 1770s...
Before Elvis.
Elvis was on TV a year earlier.
So funny. In 1961, at age 12, I gave a speech at my junior high school auditorium in front of the whole faculty and student body about how marketing manipulates potential consumers into buying its products using slick, unsavory techniques. I had no idea how "before my time" I was in understanding propaganda and Edward Bernays' techniques. Of course, nobody understood what the hell I was talking about. I believe I got an "honorable mention," and that was it. But I'm very proud that I understood and exposed the truth even before anyone had any idea what I was talking about - hell! Before I even knew what I was talking about! LOL!
Amazing how ridiculously easy all the questions were back then! Everyone should have bet everything on each one since it was a sure deal! That the winning couple did not know that the Speaker of the House succeeds the VP is, well, mind-blowing!
We al know now that if Trump is impeached, Pence takes over (god forbid!) and if Pence dies or is impeached, phucking Paul Ryan takes over (God forbid!)
I used to watch YBYL with Groucho every week. I mean...who didn't? It was so entertaining!
Get lost.
Why GOD forbid? You must be one of those people who get disgusted at an American citizen who supports the president of the UNITED STAES!!! GOD forbid you reproduce.
KamaKlinky because people now a days have been exposed to these “simple” questions via TV, internet, school, etc whereas people then we’re not. Sometimes too events just happened at their time they didn’t have complete knowledge of yet we today may have studied. Conversely too, they knew stuff then we don’t know now.
