This show is notable for the first quiz segment, which goes on and on and on with no end in sight. Due to the peculiar rules they used during this phase of the show, it's theoretically possible for the game to never end (at least until they ran out of questions). I'm surprised we didn't see this kind of thing happen more often, but it's possible that when it did the quiz segment was edited. Here Groucho gets in a great line at the end that makes the whole thing worthwhile; I suspect that may be why the producers decided *not* to edit the quiz this time.
Groucho's reference at 1:45 to a woman who makes wonderful pizza is to Betina Consolo, who appeared on several episodes the previous season, hunting for a husband unsuccessfully.
COUPLE #1: Glory Dawson, police woman / Ennio Belognini
COUPLE #2: Phil & Frank Interlandi, identical twins
