You Bet Your Life (Unedited)
Groucho Marx hosts the unedited episodes of You Bet Your Life, each running for around 60 minutes. These recordings include material that was cut from the half-hour episodes that were later broadcast. While some segments may have been missed during the transfer process, efforts have been made to patch in missing pieces from the broadcast versions.
This collection also includes three episodes that were previously circulating in lower bitrate formats, now enhanced for better listening. The recordings span various dates, with some details about the recording and broadcast dates provided for context.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.

Amazing

The episode from February 3, 1949, "People," has me in stitches. It's great hearing Groucho interrupt George Fenneman with a joke and having him crack up when usually his announcing spots are so professional. I can tell I'm going to have fun checking out the rest of these.
Incredible

I can't believe there was a gameshow-style thing this far back! It's actually really funny listening to this 'unedited' version, including things like the mistakes, jokes cut to save time...! It's amazing, 5 stars for posting this amazing collection!!
