6. Didn't Groucho host this show? If so...there was one woman, early 30's, a nanny...way back

Then. Groucho asked her who she worked for. "I work for a married couple, one adult, one adultress.". Then she prayed the earth would swallow her up! It was hilarious!

9. My Dad loved that show. I remember as a little kid

hearing him in the other room laughing hysterically at Groucho and Steve Allen. One night, I woke up with a nosebleed. He held a washcloth on my face with ice in it until it stopped bleeding.
Groucho was trying to light a cigar but his lighter wouldn't work. He kept trying for a minute, then said "Aw, forget it!" The crowd went nuts. That was probably 1962(?)

10. A young Col. John Glenn was on some quiz show before he became an astronaut

For some reason, I think it was the Groucho show. I saw the episode long ago on a rerun TV station.
