* SpiritualSuccessor: ''Tell It to Groucho'', which debuted on CBS seven months after ''You Bet Your Life'' ended its run. The contestant couples, instead of answering questions, had to identify three pictures which flashed for a quarter of a second, winning $500 for each correct guess and losing half their winnings for each incorrect guess. If they couldn't identify the three pictures, they were given an easy picture to guess (which wasn't flashed) for $100. Of course, the focus was still on Groucho's interviews with the contestants. The first pilot (under the title ''What Do You Want?'') even had George Fenneman return as the sidekick, but the second pilot and the series instead featured Jack Harmon and Patty Wheeler (former ''You Bet Your Life'' constestants) as the assistants.

* RetroactiveRecognition: William Peter Blatty of ''Literature/TheExorcist'' fame was a contestant on the February 9, 1961 episode. He began his appearance under the guise of "Prince Kareallah" from Saudi Arabia, complete with sunglasses and poor grasp of English, but he soon dropped his character and admitted the whole act was made up at the suggestion of George Fenneman to see if Groucho would spot the "phony". He and his partner ended up winning $10,000; Blatty's $5,000 allowed him to quit his day job and pursue his writing career full-time.

* AccidentalInnuendo: Groucho never ever let a unintentional double entendre by a contestant slip by without comment. Because of this, the audience developed an almost Pavlovian response, and would begin laughing whenever Groucho paused, often interpreting something racy he himself hadn't spotted.
