Often remembered as the wiseacre member of the The Marx Brothers films of the 1930s and 1940s, Groucho Marx became an icon of 1950s television as the comic quizmaster of the long-running "You Bet Your Life." Fred Allen hated television. Allen was a radio comedian who as early as 1936 had a weekly radio audience of about 20 million. When he visited The Jack Benny Show to continue their long running comedy feud, they had the largest audience in the history of radio until FDR's Fireside Chats. Groucho Marx and Fred Allen were avid letter-writers and friends and maintained correspondence with each other over the years. FUNNY YOU SHOULD SAY THAT follows that correspondence.
