If you think the quiz segment seems prolonged as presented here, check out the version that aired-- it lasts almost 5 full minutes!
Given the strange format of the quiz in this phase of this series (four in a row right to win, with two wrong in a row ending the game, which, theoretically, could go on forever), I'm surprised this didn't happen more often. Or maybe when it did, they edited out some of the questions. My guess is that they left intact all the reversals this time to be able to include Groucho's quip at the resolution of the game, which is perfection.
To top it all off, Mr. Belognini almost fluffs the consolation question!

![Burns and Allen - Classic Scenes #1 - Gracie gets serious (rare dramatic moment) [clip]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/_aRMWtwfeV8/mqdefault.jpg "Burns and Allen - Classic Scenes #1 - Gracie gets serious (rare dramatic moment) [clip]
Heres a great scene from season 6, episode 28 of The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show (April 9, 1956). In this episode, George is staging a vaudeville show to raise funds for son Ronnies dramatic school, when one of the young performers, Dianne, decides that comedy is beneath her and refuses to appear. Its up to Gracie to convince her the show must go on.
This is an exceptional scene, as theres scarcely another moment in Gracies entire career where she plays anything outside of her usual dizzy character, let alone delivers a full blown dramatic speech.")
