Groucho and Jackie were in the early stages of filming Otto Preminger's legendary stinker, "Skidoo!", at the time of this broadcast. And Preminger really abused Groucho during the filming of that movie....until Jackie stepped in and told Otto, in no uncertain terms, to "cut it out".
Originally telecast in color {"CBS presents this program in COLOR!"} on October 14, 1967 (on the other networks- "MAYA" [NBC] and "THE DATING GAME"/'"THE NEWLYWED GAME" [ABC]). When Jackie wasn't presenting one of his hour-long "Honeymooners" revivals, he usually reverted to his original variety show format...including this example.
On his appearance on"The Jackie Gleason Show"..Mr.Groucho Marx performs the tune"Show Me A Rose"..the only other comedy performer..who was able to sing that song beautifully..is Zero Mostel.
2 of my favorites from yester year on one stage. Both old school comedians - New Yorkers. They dont make them like either of these guys anymore. Thats a shame. Wish we could go back. A simpler time.

I was hoping Jackie would belt Groucho right in the kisser! Bang! Zoom! I never liked Groucho. He was a wisenheimer.
