It’s a testament to her talent that people thought she was like “Lucy”. In reality she wasn’t. She was honest & straightforward & didn’t suffer fools. She also had to be tough being the president of a studio at a time when women weren’t. She was quite a dame & I say that with all respect due.

@@TravelinBand747 This is like saying someone can replicate Malcolm X or MLK Jr. You can’t. You just cannot. There is good comedy, but it’s not coming from mainstream Hollywood. The 1970’s was a time when Hollywood personalities like Lucille Ball, Jimmy Stewart and Red Skelton were still around. Younger generations don’t know Johnny Carson or even Lucille Ball, and they probably never will. They’re too busy being obsessed with Instagram, TikTok and Twitter. Proving that all you need is good looks and a good body, instead of talent. Modern talk shows are just fluff that generally disregard their audience and guests. The good stuff now is from the indie stuff. Plenty of good content from small creators that offer drama, comedy and everything else in between. The days of Hollywood offering genuine entertainment like this are long over.

@@rancidcrawfish It’s not a strange comparison, it’s what’s been going on. Johnny and Lucy are inimitable and therefore irreplaceable. The replacement? A bunch of whiny entitled Millennials and Zoomers with zero talent who have no passion for the industry they work in, especially if they’re in show business. Anyone old enough to have seen these old recordings first hand of The Tonight Show should feel very grateful.

What I like about this is it actually shows that Lucille Ball had a great sense of humor. She is often been sent to have not been funny and her personal life, but this shows that she could be funny outside of character.

@breckrichardson390 4 ай бұрын

Lucy herself would say she was not a funny person. By that she meant she wasn't witty. Funny comments did not spring forth out of her brain. However, she wss known to enjoy pulling pranks on people, sometimes elaborate ones that she might plan for a dinner party. So she could be funny in that way. The bit here with the teeth is an example of her prankster nature.

I had the pleasure of meeting Lucille Ball in 1986 at the launch party for her new “Life with Lucy” series. I was terrified of approaching her because after all this was LUCY!!!! But to my surprise, she was warm, welcoming and surprisingly humble. As we were saying our goodbyes, I casually wished her well on the new series and again to my surprise, she said “thanks I’m gonna need it”. I couldn’t believe that at this stage in her career she was STILL actually nervous about the premiere of her new show. But she was. And sadly once again, her instincts didn’t fail her…ABC canceled the series after only 8 of the 13 episodes aired. She deserved far better treatment from ABC. And three years later she was gone. Meeting this great lady was clearly one of the highlights of my life.

@manofiske3318 Жыл бұрын

It's good thing Ball and her husband at the time, Desi Arnaz, had the foresight and wisdom to insist, regardless of the additional expense involved, that the show be recorded on _film_ (quality stock no less) as opposed to the cheaper, less durable alternative available.

@breckrichardson390 4 ай бұрын

That's just luck. They did not plan to film the show. The only reason it was filmed was because CBS expected them to do the show live from New York, as they did not yrt have broadcast facilities in Los Angeles, but they didn't want to move to New York. So they came up with the idea of filming the show in Los Angeles like a few other CBS shows were doing (e.g , The Gene Autry Shiw). But comedy shows at the time normally were performed in front of a studio audience (but live), so Desi and his team then came up with the then-novel concept of filming in front of a studio audience.

I was born in 1970. I was introduced to the REAL Tonight Show with Johnny Carson by my grandparents when I'd go over and stay the night. By '78 or '79 I'd stay up late to watch Johnny every night and as I got older I started to realize that there will be a day when Johnny retires and how great he really is. Kind of like watching Michael Jordan. You know you're watching greatness and will be sad when it's gone. Look at the set. Vintage 70s. Man today sucks.

During the 1960s you'd be hard pressed to find any teens listening to music or consuming content from 1905.

To be truthful I love Lucy - always have since age 6 in 1951 - still do, it is now 2022. I love her tv roles, her movies - 10 especially A++. I know that she is generally not comfortable in interviews and often fidgets. She is not playing Lucy, she is being Lucille Ball. I have read her book, Love Lucy, and several books about her (Laughing with Lucy by Madelyn Pugh and Bob Carroll Jr) and at least 5-6 others. Seen Lucy Desi Home Movie; Lucy Desi movie by Amy Poehler; interviews by stars who knew her - Wonderful people themselves. She is great - had a very difficult childhood, always hard working even as a child; helped support her mother, mgf, brother and cousin early on. Supported her mother and mgf till they died. Lucy Ball gave they entire world laughter with I Love Lucy which seen in over 60 or more countries, with reruns somewhere in the world everyday. I thank her for her gift of laughter. In her 77 years of life, I think she worked 70 of them.

Garry Marshall (creator of Happy Days) used to write jokes for Lucille Ball, and he was good at it and it kept him in business as a comedy writer early in his career. But she was a very harsh critic and known to get cranky at times. If she didn't like a joke, she would return it with a note attached. One day he wrote a joke for her and she returned it with a note simply saying "This joke is bull****"

Rex Harrison talk/sang his part in the movie "My Fair Lady", nobody complained and he won an award for his role. Lucille Ball talked/sang her part in Mame and there were endless criticisms that she did such. Did not bother me a bit, neither did Rex Harrison's did not bother me, and I don't like Rex Harrison.
