| Title | : | you bet your life secret word 'spoon' |
| Air Date | : | 01.18.1950 ( January 18, 1950) |
| Plot | : | +Hosted by the quick witted Groucho Marx this is a fun quiz show game in which three couples each have $20 and they can bet as much as that on each of four questions. The couple that finishes with the most money gets to go for the $1000 question at the end of the show. Plus if someone uses the secret word they win an extra bonus prize. Chosen from the audience for the chance to win a $1000 are a bouncer from a dance hall and an accountant, a chiropodist and a housewife and an Irish war bride and her husband. Long-running comedy quiz show hosted by Groucho Marx. The show was the idea of a young producer, John Guedel; the idea based on an old parlor game. Three couples were brought on stage to be interviewed by Groucho. He would be, for once, quite serious, well almost! They were each given $20 and asked to bet as much as they dared on four questions from a category of their choice. If they won, their money would double. Therefore it was possible for couples to win either as much as $320, go broke on the first question or finish anywhere in between. The couple with the highest total went through to the jackpot question. It was said that the contestants did not care much for the money; they just wanted to see if they were shrewd enough to escape Groucho’s legendary verbal battering. Today the big prize is worth $1000! |
