Groucho Marx engages in humorous conversation with studio guests followed by a photo recognition game. A contestant attempted to identify up to three celebrity photos, each of which would be flashed on a screen for a half-second. Each photo correctly identified won $500, for a maximum of $1,500; any player who could not identify any of the photos, however, could win a consolation prize of $100 by identifying an "easy picture". On the pilot, this was slightly different: the player was shown a picture for one-eighth of a second, and identifying it was worth $500. If s/he was wrong, the picture was shown again for a half-second and worth $250, then (if needed) a full second for $100.

23 episodes

A mother and her daughter, both husband-hunters, and their 13 cats, are among the guests.

  • 1962-04-19T05:00:00Z25m

This episode begins as Marx and his assistant, Patty Harmon, welcome a representative from the Polaroid Camera Company to show how the new three-button-model camera works. When the advertisement/demonstration ends, Marx brings out the woman he terms his "favorite glamour star," Jayne Mansfield, and her husband, former "Mr. Universe" Mickey Hargitay. The host questions the two about their first meeting, their unusual pets, their dream of having ten children, and Mansfield's reputation as a dumb blonde. Marx makes several references to Mansfield's generous bustline, causing her to blush and drawing Hargitay's mock ire.
