The Final TV Appearance of the Marx Brothers Together

Monday, March 8th, 2010

This day in 1959 marked the final television appearance of Groucho, Harpo, and Chico Marx together.

On March 8, 1959 the 30 minute TV film “The Incredible Jewel Robbery” broadcast at 9:00 p.m. on the General Electric Theater and is the last film to feature three Marx Brothers on television — though Groucho makes a cameo appearance in a plot where Harpo and Chico pull off a jewel heist.

The end of a comedic era and I was but four years old.
