Matt Gaetz and Karen Bass appear on the Groucho Marx-hosted game, You Bet You’re Guilty!, on the Afterlife Game Show Network! Gaetz didn’t want to play the Groucho Marx-hosted game, You Bet You’re Guilty!, but was talked into it—with another famous political con artist.

Groucho: George, who are our next contestants?

Fenneman: A Mr. Matt Gaetz and a Miss Karen Bass.

Groucho: Gaetz and Bass, hmmm? Sounds like a law firm for a queer fish farm. All right, let’s play You Bet You’re Guilty! I’ll ask you a question—after we attach you to the most accurate lie detector ever invented. If you answer the question without triggering our machine’s sensor, you win. Ready?

(They nod nervously)

Groucho: Have you misused your office in the past five years?

Bass and Gaetz: No.

(BZZZZZ)

Groucho: Well, I’m sorry, but our machine says you’re guilty. Would you like to try again?

Bass: No.

Gaetz: Yes.

Groucho: Okay, Mr. Gaetz. Did you personally take Henry Jacquarious Longfelon’s donation and pocket it in some underhanded way? (Groucho’s eyebrows go up and down, while chomping on his cigar.)

Gaetz: No.

(BZZZZ).

Fenneman: That’s two buzzers—you’ve lost the game.

Groucho: Well, you’re both guilty, but thanks to the sorry state of law these days, you’ll still be allowed to freely walk our streets—which is all a felon can ask for. Thanks for playing, You Bet You’re Guilty!—good night, everyone.
