Hello, I Must Be Going (book)

Hello, I Must Be Going: Groucho and His Friends is a biography of the renowned comedian Groucho Marx, written by Charlotte Chandler and published in 1978. The book is a culmination of interviews and conversations between Chandler and Groucho, which took place towards the end of his life. Initially, Groucho had declined an interview request, but instead invited Chandler to his home, where he eventually warmed up to the idea of sharing his stories and anecdotes.

The biography offers a unique glimpse into Groucho's life and career, spanning from the early 20th century to his later years. Through interviews with Groucho's contemporaries and friends, including Woody Allen, Bill Cosby, and Jack Nicholson, the book paints a vivid picture of the Marx Brothers' rise to fame and their individual relationships with colleagues and each other. The stories and anecdotes shared in the book provide insight into the highs and lows of Groucho's life, from poverty to wealth, and offer a fascinating look at the phenomenon that was the Marx Brothers. A later edition of the book, released in 1992, features an introduction by Bill Cosby, adding another layer of perspective to this engaging biography.
