You Bet Your Life #57-14 Fenneman inhales helium (Secret word 'Water', Dec 26, 1957)

The clear highlight in this show is when Groucho coerces George Fenneman take part in Robin Stevens's helium demonstration. Starts around 7:44. Fenneman was always such a great, great sport-- and a huge part of what made this series click. Groucho often said Fenneman was the best straight man he'd ever had outside of Margaret Dumont.

But make sure you stick around for the second couple-- they're quite funny in their own right.

COUPLE #1: Skip Schoen, who caught her toe in a refrigerator door / Robin Stevens, owner of "Up and Atom", a company that does educational scientific demonstrations
COUPLE #2: Revoyda Frierson, who talks about trying and failing to become a nurse / Willie Spurlock, who likes his women bow-legged
