You Bet Your Life

Groucho Marx is one of many stars to make a radio broadcast their debut, only to move to TV once the radio show reached popularity. But Marx didn't go the usual route with a sitcom or talk show, but rather, he made a name for himself hosting a game show called, You Bet Your Life. The show, broadcast on radio, originally aired in 1947, becoming a televised radio show in 1950. Marx had a quick wit and an uncanny knack of delivering the punch-line, and it wasn't long before he became well-known for spontaneously grilling his contestants. In fact, some of his onstage antics are the most hilarious in the history of television! (Echo Bridge Entertainment)
