Harland Sanders, who talked about his “finger-lickin’” recipe for fried chicken which he parlayed into the “Kentucky Fried Chicken” chain of restaurants, once appeared as a contestant. A guest purporting to be a wealthy Arabian prince was truly writer William Peter Blatty Groucho saw through the disguise, stating “You are no much more a prince than I am simply because I have an Arabian horse and I know what they look like”. Blatty won 000 and utilised the leave of absence the money afforded him to write The Exorcist. No 1 in the audience knew who contestant Daws Butler was until he began speaking in Huckleberry Hound’s voice. He and his partner went on to win the leading prize of 000. Cajun politician Dudley J.

perms/relaxers ftw!!
@bigred997 They are not in Leviticus – the second mention of the Ten Commandments is in Deuteronomy
I can’t study Algebra and listen to Groucho at the same time. So I decided to forget about Algebra.
“The big Chrysler Corporation TV show” Fenneman referred to at 28:40 was “CLIMAX!”, which appeared right after ‘YOU BET YOUR LIFE” on CBS’ Thursday night schedule [8:30-9:30pm(et)]. Groucho was still heard on NBC radio in a slightly different version of his show on Wednesday nights at 9pm(et).
Groucho was so funny. Certainly knew how to get a laugh!
Love the way he wiggles his cigar at the very end when he opens that De Soto sign. Where can I pick up that De Soto this coming November 17? It puts other cars on the road to shame.
can’t wait for that new de soto!
@bigred997 oops. i mean not leviticus but deuteronomy. but, still groucho acted like there was only one correct answer. so i meant to say that they should have thrown the question out and replaced it with another to give them another chance.
the ten commandments are found in both exodus and leviticus with slight textual differences. so, they cheated the first couple out of a winning due to the ignorance of groucho’s staff.
thx merry holidays -and dont for get to visit your local de soto dealer’s cash for clunkers end of year sale!!!
Thank you for providing one of the joys of my life: GROUCHO!!! <3
