How this season is filed
You Bet Your Life is Groucho, a duck, and the secret word: quiz structure as a license to ad-lib. George Fenneman straight-mans while Marx roasts civilians into comedy gold. Watch it now as proof a comic personality can carry a 'game' better than the game — merchandising and meme before either word mattered.
