Utah Bob #35998 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 The original was a scripted show. Some later on famous comedians appeared on it when they were young. Funny show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 This is a longer version, but YouTube won't let you watch it here. You must follow the link to there. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RXTqWOx1dOQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackwater 53393 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 The old show wasn’t scripted too well!! Groucho got spanked more than once for his shenanigans!! ”I like my cigar…” comes to mind. Yeah! I know there are stories that discount the fact that this happened, but my grandparents from New Jersey and my mother from Tennessee both recounted the story. My mother despised Groucho and said he DID say it and that the TV immediately went blank. My dad’s parents both thought it was hilarious and told me they saw it when I was still in grade school! That was in the early sixties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rye Miles #13621 Posted December 4, 2021 Author Share Posted December 4, 2021 I remember Groucho's show, watched it as a kid and it was funny but I like Jay Leno's better. It's more upbeat, faster moving and just as funny. I'm a big Jay Leno fan so there's that too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackwater 53393 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 I like Jay too. A lot of what he does is subtle and he has Groucho’s kind of delivery. Plus! He’s a car guy! 1 hour ago, Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 said: Snopes did a lot of research on that and claims it never happened. I don’t trust a thing Snopes says without other verification!

Trailrider #896 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 I loved watching Groucho! I like Jay Leno, and he is funny, but not in the way Groucho was. Incidentally, George Fenneman was the voice for the Voice Reporting Signal Assembly (VRSA) for the Minuteman I ICBM system. When launch officers in the Launch Control Facilities had a red light come on their panels, they would query VRSA to find out what the malfunction was in the system. Fenneman's voice would come on, such as, "Channel 9, guidance alarm; All channels (there were 40) monitored." I thought it was him, and once when he was interviewed on a Denver radio station, I called in and he verified it was indeed his voice. Said he had been paid some small sum to do the recording.

Sure Groucho and Jay are different comedians but I like Jay better! I think he’s wittier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
