Following the conclusion of his immensely popular 1980s sitcom, Bill Cosby took on the role of host for a syndicated revival of a classic quiz show in 1992. The program, which originally aired on radio in 1947 before moving to television for an eleven-year run, was famously hosted by legendary comedian Groucho Marx. The format was less about the trivia and more of a showcase for the host's wit, with the main appeal being Marx's hilarious and unscripted banter with the contestants.
The original series was renowned for its "secret word" gimmick; if a contestant uttered the chosen word during their conversation with Marx, a toy duck would descend from the ceiling to deliver a cash prize. The focus on the host's comedic interviews with the players was a core element that was carried over into the new version. Interestingly, years before the revival, the original host Groucho Marx had supposedly suggested to a young, up-and-coming Bill Cosby that he would be a good fit to host the show one day.
