Groucho with Dick Cavett (video - 1969)

Maybe the best Groucho bit ever:

A priest came up to me and asked me, "Aren't you Groucho Marx?"

I said I was and he asked if he might shake my hand.  I did that and he said, "I'd like to thank you for all the joy you have brought into the world."

I said, "And I'd like to thank you for all the joy you have taken out of it."


That bit is in the video and it's an hour-long improv as Dick Cavett isn't really interviewing him, it's much more a conversation.
