Ray Bradbury appeared on You Bet Your Life, hosted by Groucho Marx.

Groucho: What kind of job do you have Ray?

Ray Bradbury: I’m a writer.

Groucho: What kind of rider? Pony Express, motorcycle, or what?

Ray Bradbury: Writer, W-R-I-T-E-R.

Groucho: Oh, that’s very refreshing–a writer who can spell.
