That’s a reptilian

I only knew Groucho Marx by name. Had no idea he was that good.

Also, those lapels are big enough to land a plane on.

Does anyone know what happened to Mr Albert Hall after this?

Edit: I looked it up here and it seems he passed about 10 years after this show, he was 67 when this was filmed. It was just a random chance he ended up on Bet Your Life. It seems he had three children, 2 of which died in their 20s and 30s in 1940 and 1942 so I imagine the war. The guy had a great demeanor for someone who had suffered such a loss, that or he was just high all the time because of that.

That feeling after you rip way too fat a line...

I know people that behave like this sober and it’s always a little unsettling, conversations always feel a little bit surreal.

Edited to omit insensitive material.
