 In The Zeppo, Cordelia calls Xander “the Zeppo of the group”. She’s referring to Herbert “Zeppo” Marx, the youngest of the five Marx brothers who were a comedy troupe from the 1920s to the 1940s. He always seemed to be in the background, acting as a foil for Chico or Groucho. He joined the act after Milton “Gummo” Marx left during their early vaudeville days. He completed 5 movies for the brothers, but finished with the wonderful Duck Soup as he felt a) that his talents weren’t being properly utilised and b) that he was out of place as a straight man in a comedy troupe. |
