Groucho on “The Morning Show”
Season One of The Morning Show was imperfect but we liked it, so we tuned in to Season Two, which is a multivehicular car wreck. However episode 6, which premiered October 22, 2021 had a wonderful surprise. In that episode co-host Bradley Jackson (Reese Witherspoon) anchors a segment on Groucho Marx’s 130th birthday (it is set during 2020). Her guest is a distinguished older gentleman who seems to run a Marx Brothers fan organization much like some acquaintances I could name! But things take a turn for the implausible towards the end when she asks him his favorite movie and he says (I swear) Love Happy!
