Born at a very early age on this date in 1890: Our Captain, our Professor, our Leader, our Hero -- our Groucho, sometimes known by the deceptive alias Julius Henry Marx.

If it's been 102 years since I'LL SAY SHE IS opened in NYC, that must mean it's been TWO years since the I'LL SAY SHE IS Centennial Celebration at @marxfest.org in 2024! www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmj0...

I'LL SAY SHE IS Day seems to come a little earlier every year! GROUCHO: Who was that lady I saw you with last night? CHICO: That wasn't last night. That was the night before last night. Thrills and best wishes to all who celebrate!

It seems like only yesterday that the wild young Marx Brothers made their Broadway debut in I'LL SAY SHE IS and changed comedy forever. But no, it was 101 years ago today! Put on your Napoleon hat and celebrate: England rules the waves, but France waives the rules! Learn more at illsaysheis.com.

In Episode 76, ANIMAL CRACKERS REOPENED, we play listeners' responses to the second (and greatest) of the Marx Brothers' films -- and then we respond to those responses. It's our final episode of 2024, and probably one of our twelve best this year! www.marxbrotherscouncilpodcast.com/episodes/202...

A Harpo Marx balloon in the 1935 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, and people in Marx Brothers inflated costumes in the Parade in 2003. With the 100 year anniversary, I'm hoping they dig into the archives and find gems like this.

Actual footage of Bluesky since the other place imploded

The crowded cabin scene from the Marx Brothers A Night At The Opera - a ridiculous number of people squeeze into a very small space, some seem to be enjoying it, others not so much

The most recent postcard I designed for the Marx Brothers Council Podcast, featuring an evolution of the one, the only, Groucho. #grouchomarx #themarxbrothers

Text: “Time Grouches On.” Four Groucho Marxes from different stages in life walk across the picture: a young man picking up a cigar from the ground, the classic movie look doing his stooped walk, the You Bet Your Life host with the duck on his shoulder, and the elderly Groucho with a turtleneck and beret.
