Not at his finest, but good Groucho

This is a really fun listen. As others have said, the quiz is almost secondary to Groucho. And the guests even win the day sometimes. This is my first exposure to Groucho in an original form (And not a caricature in a looney tunes bit), so I thought it was great to hear the source material. Some of his material seems to be leaning on his earlier successes, but the material still works.

As a historic note, it is interesting for me to observe his interplay with the guests and how expectations have changed over time. (The shock at the female guest that is single and has a career!).

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
