[Say the magic woid and win $100]

I heard this story as an explanation for the reason that
the powers-that-be finally stopped broadcasting
Groucho's "You bet your Life" television show live, and
started filming for later broadcast.  I have no idea
what the contestant's real name was (or what the real
details of the story were (or even if it's true]

Groucho: What is your name and what do you do?
Contestant: Samuel Jordan, and I'm an accountant.
Groucho: Are you married, Mr. Jordan?
Contestant: Yes, I'm married and have eleven children.
Groucho: Eleven children!  Isn't that a lot?
Contestant: Well, I love my wife
Groucho: And I love my cigar, but I take it out occasionally.
