It seems like only yesterday that the wild young Marx Brothers made their Broadway debut in I'LL SAY SHE IS and changed comedy forever. But no, it was 101 years ago today! Put on your Napoleon hat and celebrate: England rules the waves, but France waives the rules! Learn more at illsaysheis.com.

Book Review: "Zeppo: The Reluctant Marx Brother" -- He Wasn't an Underachiever - The Arts Fuse
Biographer Robert S. Bader is an engaging writer and meticulous researcher. And handy here, he’s able to be tactful, but not forgiving, when describing lousy human behavior.

In Episode 76, ANIMAL CRACKERS REOPENED, we play listeners' responses to the second (and greatest) of the Marx Brothers' films -- and then we respond to those responses. It's our final episode of 2024, and probably one of our twelve best this year!

A Harpo Marx balloon in the 1935 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, and people in Marx Brothers inflated costumes in the Parade in 2003.
With the 100 year anniversary, I'm hoping they dig into the archives and find gems like this.
