From THE BIG SHOW
Interviewing Jane Powell from "You Bet Your Life"
GM: How old are you?
JP: 19
GM: You call that old...Why don't you step closer to the microphone
so that the announcer can hear you...On second thoughts just
step closer to the announcer.
JP: Well, which is which?
GM: The microphone is more hose in the head.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
"You Bet Your Life" banter (got censored, no copy exists, but true story)
Groucho: So, Mrs. Smith, do you have any children?
Mrs. Smith: Yes, thirteen.
Groucho: Thirteen! Good lord, isn't that a burden?
Mrs. Smith: Well, I love my husband.
Groucho: Lady, I love my cigar but I take it out of my mouth
once in a while.

" The Marx Brothers produced a (relatively forgettable) film called
'A Night in Casablanca.'
Warner Brothers sent Groucho a memo saying that they owned the
rights to the name "Casablanca," and they would sue him for
infringement.
Groucho promptly fired back with a memo that the Marx Brothers had
been brothers longer than Warner Brothers, and *they* were
countersuing for infringement..." -- Andrew Roazen
