YOU BET YOUR LIFE - 189 Shows Old Time Radio MP3 Format OTR 2 CDs GROUCHO MARX

Description: YOU BET YOUR LIFE Item Description Starting on radio, and later moving to television, "You Bet Your Life" was one of the most popular programs of the fifties and early sixties. The show was hosted by Groucho Marx. The announcer was George Fenneman. "You Bet Your Life" was really two programs in one. First, Groucho Marx would "interview" two contestants by asking them questions about their lives. Groucho was truly a master at finding a joke somewhere in just about every answer they gave. After the "joking around" portion of the program, the quiz show would begin. The contestants could win money by correctly answering trivia questions. This process would continue with more pairs of contestants and the pair that won the most money would get a bonus round. Here are some great factoids concerning one of OTR's most popular 'quiz shows'... * Author William Peter Blatty won $10,000 on the show and said he would use the money to take time off of work to write a novel. The novel he wrote turned out to be "The Exorcist". * You Bet Your Life ran from October of 1950 to September of 1961. * In its final season on television, the series' title was changed from "You Bet Your Life" to "The Groucho Show". The only other change was that the Duck was not always used to bring down the secret word. It might be a pretty girl and one time it was even Groucho's brother Harpo. * There were two rather unsuccessful attempts to revive the show on television. Buddy Hackett hosted a syndicated version in 1980 and Bill Cosby tried in in the early 1990s. * During the summer months, reruns were shown and they were called "The Best of Groucho". * Some well-known contestants on the tv show included: Ray Bradbury, Phyllis Diller, Liberace, Edith Head, William Peter Blatty, Dimitri Tiomkin, Francis X. Bushman, Harry Ruby, Fay Spain and Daws Butler. * You Bet Your Life was nominated for 5 Emmys but didn't win any. * While the TV show was a continuation of the radio program, the original idea came from some appearances Groucho Marx made on the radio with Bob Hope. * Groucho started his career in vaudeville with his brothers Gummo, Zeppo, Chico and Harpo Marx. Gummo left the act before the remaining Marx brothers went on to making movies and is seldom mentioned. * The musical conductor for the program (Jerry Fielding) was called before the infamous "House Committee on Unamerican Activities" and refused to testify. The DeSoto-Plymouth Dealers of America (show's sponsor) demanded that he be immediately fired! Fielding later stated that the committee wanted him to name Groucho Marx as a communist! Groucho said that giving in to the sponsor's demand to fire Fielding was one of the greatest regrets of his life! * After his death, Groucho's children found a letter where he (jokingly) stated that he wanted to be buried on top of Marilyn Monroe! His death got very little attention because he died only three days after the death of Elvis Presley. This collection of "You Bet Your Life" radio programs features 189 shows on 2 CDs.
