Groucho tells it like it was, in a book that contains the best humor, dialogue, and repartee from his TV spectacular, You Bet Your Life . 
The show was one of the most popular of all time and continues to draw millions of viewers during its frequent reruns all across the country. Now Groucho describes the origins of You Bet Your Life , its trial-and-error period, and how it became one of the most successful shows in television history. He has compiled the cream of the weekly jesting, the sidesplitting ad libs and antics. There are hilarious exchanges with stars such as Jack Benny, George Burns, Phyllis Diller, Liberace, Dick Cavett, and Edgar Bergen. There are many “civilian” (noncelebritiy) contestants who matched wits with the irrepressible Groucho and provided us with classic moments in TV comedy (who could forget such guests as the man who played the tube, Mrs. Housing Department, and Pedro Gonzalez Gonzalez, to name only a few?) 
Groucho includes many behind-the-scenes anecdotes, with reminiscences by the writers, directors, and producer of You Bet Your Life , including the ever smiling George Fennemen, producer and announcer. The typical audience “warm up” session between Fennemen and Groucho is one of the highlights of the book. 
From start to finish, The Secret Word of Groucho is vintage mirth making with an irresistible nostalgic appeal topped off with informal photographs that catch guests and celebrities off guard. Groucho, now eighty-five years old, is still up to his raffish level of humor and proves once again that for everyone who likes to laugh—the secret word is GROUCHO.

Groucho Marx's elder daughter saved virtually every letter her father wrote to her between 1938, when she was 11 years old, and 1967, and she presents them in this book with notes and photographs from her own collection. The letters display Groucho's celebrated wit and word play, but also provide glimpses of a man known to the public only through his film roles. The discussions with his daughter cover a wide range of topics, from growing up and career choices to books, films and current events.

The Groucho Letters: Letters from and to Groucho Marx

No personage is too big, no nuance too small, no subject too far out for Grouchoâs spontaneous, hilarious, and ferocious typewriter. He writes to comics, corporations, children, presidents, and even his daughterâs boyfriend. Here is Groucho swapping photos with T. S. Eliot (âI had no idea you were so handsome!â); advising his son on courting a rich dame (âDonât come out bluntly and say, âHow much dough have you got?â That wouldnât be the Marxian wayâ); crisply declining membership in a Hollywood club (âI donât care to belong to any social organization that will accept me as a memberâ); reacting with utmost composure when informed that he has been made into a verb by James Joyce (âThereâs no reason why I shouldnât appear in Finnegans Wake. Iâm certainly as bewildered about life as Joyce wasâ); responding to a scandal sheet (âGentleman: If you continue to publish slanderous pieces about me, I shall feel compelled to cancel my subscriptionâ); describing himself to the Lunts (âI eat like a vulture. Unfortunately the resemblance doesnât end thereâ); and much, much more. That mobile visage, that look of wild amazement, and that weaving cigar are wholly captured, bound but untamed, in The Groucho Letters.
