@Justin Stewart Those born before 1970 were probably the only ones to 'learn' penmanship...My mother, schooled in the 40's, was proud of hers. Perfect. She'd ball me out on my modern sloppy scribble. Only thing I use a pen for is to sign my name for the credit card (which I don't - X will do).

So is she!

Back then people learned cursive writing in school.

:D *That* is the "Palmer Method" of handwriting.

She can sing very well, she just pretended she couldn't as Ricky wouldn't put her in her club skits.

Damn straight. They were dumb! But in fairness to the panel we did not have our masks on and Lucy was not an icon for 2 generations.

I said the same thing. As soon as she did that I was like they’ve gotta get it now.

Lol. Right!! The uh‘ s and eww’s

@@robertdiotalevi6073 they were dumb, or they deliberately held off identifying her

@@marybaker8582 👍

She could be difficult to work with but that may have been because she was a perfectionist...

Same here, Boston!

And a very powerful one. She and her husband created the DesiLu studios . I produce shows like the original Star Trek.

And, Gracie Allen!

And 60's and 70's and 80's etc

And 60s And Id say early 70's

Me too

Lucy was my baby. She was FUNNY, PRETTY, SMART, and TALENTED. She is the funniest woman that their ever was. I still cannot believe that Lucy is not here. Their will neeeeeever, eeeeeever be another Lucille Ball. Rest peacefully in heaven my baby.

I would have had it at "It's a moo moo!" One of my favorite episodes 🤩😄🤓😎✌🏻

I'm not completely sure if this is true but the infamous Martian episode first aired a few months after this appearance so my best guess would be she was filming that episode at this time and decided to use that for this particular episode (she has been on the show a few times).

I miss Lucy she was a great actress I grew up watching her she made everyone laugh you could of had a bad day and then watching her your day was great I will always remember her and miss her

Ty for that. Didn't know. She was speciaot

Haha I looked this up a few years ago and I imagine they had probably just finished filming that episode right before this appearance on WML. What it must have been like as an audience to have seen this episode of WML then watch the airing of the Women From Mars episode of ILL.

The martian episode might have aired after this WML appearance, but the episode could have been filmed before WML. In addition, ILL was performed before a live audience, but simultaneously filmed, for broadcast later...so the TV show itself could not really be considered to be "live TV" in the truest sense of the word. Alternatively, Lucy would have already had the martian episode's script long before it was filmed. Heck...she & Desi owned the studio, so they would have approved upcoming scripts even months in advance. Hence, the martian gibberish on WML was almost certainly not totally spontaneous. That does not diminish how hilarious this WML appearance is. Personally, I often found ILL to be too farfetched...but that also does not diminish Lucy's talent as an entertainer. And, as is often the case with other comedians...she was also a talented serious actor(tress), though her TV career has come to totally over-shadow her prior dramatic work.

Iza muu muu

my thought too unless the martian episode came later than the date of this WML episode?

@@larciabella Martian episode aired March 1954. Don't forget this could have aired the Sunday night before the airing of "Lucy Is Envious" probably as a 'silent plug'.

How true! A Desilu Production.

Groucho, possibly

When Desi arnez was on. He had to REALLY discuise his voice. He was GREAT

One of the funniest moments in TV!

Iken trek moo moo. Uhhh!

Hi Samantha

Ikken trek moo moo!

Best thing her and Desi did

Add Moms Mabley and LaWanda Page to round out the top 5. Funniest women who ever lived.

@@JayCity10 You Fish-Eyed Fool! LOL! Thanks.

Well Carol is still with us. Thank God.

@@ladennayoung2939 LY, preach it sister! 👍

Betty White as well :) :) :)

So didn't the panel know that?

@@larciabella That episode first aired about a month after this appearance, so she obviously had just filmed it.

O

"Are you in the world of entertainment?" "A rabbit?" LOL

I know right?I wonder how this panel didn't know it was Lucy?Didn't they watch I LOVE LUCY?

Hello Karen, How are you doing?

Cause she's Lucy

@@1Cheytown And that Martian episode...

Agreed!!!

Comments like these are gross, women should be able to dress however they please whether it's masculine or feminine. Not everyone wants to dress like a nun. Welcome to 2021

@Delawanna Sorry, the truth hurts

Maybe it's Carolyn Appleby! : l

Longer than a tictoc for some kids

I didn't hit dislike but never cared for Lucy. I didn't laugh watching this. I like WML and thought give her a chance.

I was thinking Minnie Pearl

I love Lucy!!!

Lucy did have beautiful handwriting at the beginning sign in- a really wonderful for all ages woman that everybody knew and loved- roses are red and violets are blue- what more can i say except Lucy- i love you too!

Yes, she was a comic genius. You should watch her do the French Restaurant sketch with Danny Kaye. They are both hilarious together.

@@pamtebelman2321 Wasn't it a Japanese restaurant?

@@LJ-ht4zs That was another one, also hilarious, but this one is in the French Restaurant. It's on KZfaq as "Excerpt from Danny Kaye Show with Lucille Ball." I think it has both restaurant sketches on it.

Sklepett!

Agreed

And racist

@@Battleangel731 you must be a liberal ... Not everyone was racist like you. When that's the first thing you think about when you think about America in the past that's really pathetic and sad I feel bad for you

@@indecision6616 lol. You're sadly delusional like most conservatives. Unable to face reality.. ln 1954 blacks had to drink at separate water fountains. Even in the north neighborhoods were segregated. Being gay was a.crime. Women's career choices were limited. Spousal rape was still legal. Women had to have their husbands co-sign for credit. Cancer was usually a death sentence. But yeah tell us how great it was back then. Why do conservatives hate America? Liberals show their love by being.strong enough to own up to America's flaws past and present. That's how progress is made. I feel.very sorry for you since you're too weak to face reality.

indecision you must be white... if you went anywhere near the south in the 50s you could almost guarantee you would hear the n word being used like the name Joe. And how can’t you think about the racism when you look back at America in the past? This country was built off the use of slaves. Even in the 50s how could you just gloss over the start of the civil rights movement or even segregation? From your response I can almost guarantee that you are racist, even though you may not think you are.

Biracial? Is she of mixed parentage?

@@Torihappyness Bi-Racial Couples. Lucille Ball was not bi-racial.

Right

Because she's a comedic actress. Trust me that martian schtick was sritten for her. Just like Bob Hope was only as funny as his writers....Watch her on Dick Cavett interviews of the 1970s. Lucy is a real catty b*tch.

Often wondered about she and Vivian not cracking up in their funniest scenes
