Groucho wasn't the only Marx Brother to do memorable work on the small screen. In 1950, Chico Marx appeared in an episode of the anthology series "Silver Theatre" called Papa Romani, which was intended as a pilot for a sitcom. In it, he plays - what a surprise - an Italian immigrant! Costarring with Chico are a post-Wizard of Oz Margaret Hamilton and a pre-I Love Lucy William Frawley! Broadcasting legend Edward R. Murrow hosted a live interview show in the 1950s called Person to Person in which he visited famous celebrities right in their very own homes. Here is a 1954 installment with Groucho as Murrow's guest, complete with a tour of the house, a cat that plays pool, and a charming duet between Groucho and his eight-year-old daughter, Melinda. You'll also see Harpo and his charming family at their Palm Springs hacienda. While his wife and kids have plenty to say, Harpo - as usual - remains mute
