i still remember seeing this show that night. i was still in elementary and would watch this show along with others that came on certain nights after 6:00 pm and before 10 pm because the stations (2) would go off at 10:15 pm because of the news at 10:00 pm. pedro was so funny and serious in replying to groucho that he was signed up after this and being in movies with john wayne.

He inspired Cheech Marin and Cuba Gooding Jr. to go into show business.

Pedro is so cute.....

I saw him in many movies from that time. They must have called him after seeing him on here!

@xboostedbirdx Pedro GG was in vaudeville since the age of 7, but this was his first appearance on TV. He was such a huge hit on this show, that he got comic relief roles in movies and TV for the rest of his life. John Wayne in particular loved him. He died on February 6, 2006 (age 80) in Culver City, Los Angeles, California, USA. But he did see his grandson act in several movies, including Traffic.

Pedro's grandchild just escaped from a Chilean mine.

@stargate121 Actually, a couple of his grandkids are actors.

Pedro is hilarious! I just read that Clifton Collins, Jr. (The Boondock Saints II) is his grandson. He looks a lot like him.

I wish, oh I wish, TV was once again this entertaining.
