The highlight of this show is the very funny bit with the uncooperative mynah bird, Raffles, starting around 13:00.
When Groucho mentions a "Gonzalez Gonzalez" at 9:53, he's referring to one of the all time great YBYL contestants, Pedro Gonzalez Gonzalez.
COUPLE #1: Constance Watt / Pat DeLeon
COUPLE #2: Zetta Wells, who brings her trained (but uncooperative) mynah bird along / Arthur Morales, pastry chef

![You Bet Your Life #59-11 Tor Johnson [Incomplete] (Chair, Dec 3, 1959)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/2_XO0_iDPDE/mqdefault.jpg "You Bet Your Life #59-11 Tor Johnson [Incomplete] (Chair, Dec 3, 1959)
For reasons I will never understand, this episode has been impossible to find. Its not a lost show Ed Wood aficionados have apparently been passing this episode around for years but all Ive been able to get my grubby little hands on is this incomplete copy in horrific video quality. Im still grateful to have it, though prior to this, all that was available from this show was a 3 minute clip. At least we get to see (sort of) the full Tor Johnson segment here, including the quiz!
If anyone has a complete and/or better quality copy of this one, please let me know!
COUPLE #1: Gail Van Der Most / Mike Dini [NOT INCLUDED]
COUPLE #2: Tor Johnson / Stassa Damascus
