Desi Arnaz Jr. Reveals His Miserable Life as Lucille Ball’s Son 

Somebody doesnt know the difference between Desi Jr. and Donny Osmond!

You people are confusing photos of Desi Arnaz, Jr. with photos of a young Donnie Osmond.

What is Donny Osmond doing in this in this thing here

I never realized Little Ricky grew to be Donny Osmond.. Truly Fascinating

Every time he mispronounces Arnaz, it drives me up the wall.

Why do you keep showing clips of Donny Osmond? do your research.

Donnie Osmond reveals his miserable life as Lucille Ball's son.

The little boy in I Love Lucy was a child actor, NOT Desi Jr.

Good Lord! Regarding your lazy documentary, Donny Osmond and Desi Arnaz Jr are not the same person.

The first 10 minutes of this MESS of verbal diarrhea is a constant repetition that Desi Jr. was messed up because he was born to famous parents, repeated endlessly in slightly different sentences. 👎 Talk about padding a video!

No wonder he had an identity crisis, being three separate boys.

Why did they keep showing Donny Osmond?!!

Absolutely disgusting that I can only dislike this once

His name isn't Daisy Arnaz.

10 minutes of information stretched to 21 minutes.

Donny Osmond is not Desi Arnaz Jr. Jeeesh!

The best is Desi Arnez Sr hosting SNL and he has Desi Jr play the drums with him. No one knew Desi Jr was going to be live with his father. It was the only time he looked truly happy. The smile was real.

How do I take this seriously when you don't even have the photos of the correct person here? 🤔

What bullshit.

Correction: He WAS famous in his own right by 1967 as one of the star band Dino, Desi & Billy. Look it up.

How "miserable" could it have been for him? Born into wealth and having numerous opportunities and privileges?!

He was a very beautiful young man..and i can totally unerstand the struggle he had..to show his worth in the industry as himself not just the child of two famous peope. I hope his life turned out to be happy and fulfilling in the main.....

Donny - Desi. We all look alike to the Chinese clickbaiter who put this together.

His dad was just a two timing dog

Good ol Daisy Arnahz.

I expected to see lots of pics featuring the kid who PLAYED Desi Jr. on I Love Lucy. But I forgot to expect another half dozen shots of Donny Osmond.

Can't they tell Desi from Donnie Qsmond?

He wasn't Little RIcky in ILL.

Do you think you can show Desi some respect and pronounce his name correctly??!!

Amazing how much he looks like his dad !

Growing up, if you were sick and stayed home from school there was a TV guide of consecutive shows in which Lucy was on the list. Watching this sitcom always gave me great comfort, coming into our living rooms.

I was watching I Love Lucy through the story line of Little Ricky's birth. His identity crisis is very sad. After all these years, I was astonished to find out that he was also Donny Osmond. It's just one thing after another. First it's watching someone play himself on television. Then it's BLEEP, drugs, and Rock 'N Roll. Finally he comes out of the closet as Donny Osmond. Of course the worst part of that is that Marie Osmond is his sister, which means she is off limits to Ricky-Desi-Donny. That last would have sent most men over the edge.

Talk about an identity crisis. The makers of this video do not know the difference between Desi Arnaz and Donnie Osmond.

Lucille Ball was the greatest of the greatest and her chemistry with Desi Arnaz on I Love Lucy was spectacular - legendary.

I’m almost 80 and remember watching I love Lucy when I was a young boy. No one ever suspected there was anything but happiness in their family. It’s very disappointing to hear that there was such discord within their family. Those tv shows were such great entertainment for the people at that time. I still fondly remember them.

I belonged to his fan club when he had a band. I still have the autographed postcard picture.

This is not an interview of Desi arnaz Junior this is a guy narrating what he thinks and he doesn't know crap!

Several of the pictures shown to be Desi are actually of Donny Osmond who guess stared on an episode of Here's Lucy. They did show Desi on The Brady Bunch when he showed up at their house to meet Marsha

Whenever people comment about the Arnaz family they always make it be black and white. Desi and Lucy were complex and complicated people who loved each other very much until the day they died.They, together, built an empire in the 50's. Desi was a business genius and by the late 50's Desilu had 16 shows on air and he was running 3 studios. Everyone knows Lucy was a workaholic and I guess she became even more so in the 60's. No parent is perfect, they did the best they could.

THEY ARE FOREVER TALKING ABOUT THEIR PARENTS, as if they are nothing by themselves.

Showing Donnie Osmond & Wayne Newton as Desi Arnez, Jr., also drives me up the wall too!

whats with the pictures of donny osmond?

Desi Sr, was known first and foremost for being a philanderer. I was routinely made aware of this every time I mentioned the show "I love Lucy" which was on TV every day that I got home from kindergarten 1968. It was well known.

I watched him play on "Password"as a very early teen. He impressed me as a thoughtful and insightful young man.

Rich Hollywood kids always end up in substance abuse.

Unless my eyes are playing tricks on me, I saw several clips of Donne Osmond, starting at 2:18, and again at 4:33, 5:27- 6:02. etc. which were not of Desi Jr. Interesting info though.

Going on repeating hisself over and over and some of the photo not him

There are soooooo many issues with this video thus no thumbs up for you. lol

Other children of famous parents did okay.. He was never able to find his niche..

They sure don't know what Desi looks like

So handsome

Having eye dr appts before i learned to read, the eye chart was pictures instead of letters.1 picture was a red heart. When the eye dr would point to it, instead of me saying "a red heart", I'd say "I Love Lucy". Mom said the eye dr thought that was so cute & funny, he counted it as a correct answer

In spite of the title, there is no interview with Desi Arnaz, Jr.

This reminds me of Clive James' discussion of "the Fame Country." Thank you.

I'm from Louisiana and I remember little Ricky was played by a kid named Thibodaux from Louisiana

A few times "Desi" was pronounced more like "Daisy", but then I haven't had coffee yet

Why are you showing Donny Osmond?

Yes 71 years ago we were born in 1953

I am no psychiatrist but believe there may be some truth here. Having said that the video shows images of the actor who played Little Ricky (a personal friend of Desi Jr. for many years), and even the actor playing Jerry on the Lucy Show and a few times even Donny Osmond shown as Desi Jr. And I know Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, though divorced, weren't alone - that's half of America. Lucy supported daughter Lucie and son Desi Jr. being on Here's Lucy to sort of keep an eye on them, but that didn't quite work out as she wanted. He did go through recovery with his father, who had a similar alcohol problem and for jr. it was more than alcohol. And he eventually succeeded and was straight. Tragic that his wife Amy passed away so early from cancer, and he is now living well outside show biz. And by the way, Lucy loved Liza - just didn't think she was right for her son for various reasons. And I won't offer inconsistencies - but there are many.

Who writes the script for these clips? It’s repetitive & frankly isn’t informative.

Desi Osmond Jr. Over here

How sad he was going through such an identity crisis that he would morph himself into Donny Osmond😢😂

These videos are hilarious. 😂

Such an informative video. I didn't realize that "Daisy Arnaaz" was the father of Donny Osmond! LOL!

I don't see that Jr. had a miserable life!!

I remember Desi Jr. in a movie called "The Dove" and it was such a good movie and he was so good in it.

Stopped watching at about 2 minutes because at no point does Desi Jr say anything about his life with his mother. This is total BS. ALSO, the computer can’t even pronounce his name correctly!

Poor Desi...he actually turned into Donnie Osmond at times. I had no idea.

Hey JR. Stevie J. I get it. Ur parents were great to me. Thank u 4 sharing. Dandridge McRae 😘💜💜💜💜💜

Doesn't the editor know the difference between Desi Jr. and Donny Osmond? Poor form.

This title and beginning alludes to an interview by Desi Junior

The problem was Dezi Sr was an alcoholic. Alcoholic equals chaos.

I always thought when Ricky called little Ricky, that he used to say “illegitimate Ricky!” instead of “little Ricky”.

This has si many mistakes in it . Its hard to believe in any credibility of this article.

Strange that you threw Donny Osmond into it. Didn’t you know the difference?

Desi Arnaz Jr., Donnie Osmond, Peter Brady---what's the difference, right? They all were on TV and have brown hair.

Ok you’re showing Donny Osmond in a number of clips..really poor editing

Why did You Tube stop keeping count of the thumbs down? Some uploads, like this ridiculous mess, deserve all the thumbs down numbers possible, And YOU TUBE needs to SHOW It!

Love knowing all of this big fan of Lucy and Ricky ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

What genius put Donny Osmond's pictures into Desi Arnez Jr's bio?

another low budget production , with lousy computer narration, and clips of Donnie Osmond instead of Desi...

Desi Jr was so handsome

Do your research. Daisy Arnaz is actually Donny Osmond. Who knew?

This is disgraceful! How can you believe a single word of the audio when they can't even tell the difference between Desi Jr. and Donny Osmond? This video should be deleted.

Why did you throw pictures of Donny Osmond in the mix?😁

The little boy you keep showing on the I Love Lucy show is not Desi Arnaz, Junior

a LOT of the clips were NOT of Desi Arnaz Jr but of Donny Osmond!!!! Yes, the mispronunciation of the names also drive me up a wall!

Really?!? CLICK BAIT, CLICK BAIT, CLICK BAIT!!

Nor do they know that Desi Jr. didn't appear in the early Lucy sitcoms.

This guy was my crush before Donny Osmond. The first time I saw him on tv, I was in love. She had a really handsome kid.

I never realized that he was only 7 when his parents divorced.

It's called a trauma bond and he has been traumatized to

As a Lucy expert, this is all bs.

There are so many mistakes in this that I can't watch it!

You showed some clips that were Donny Osmond!

Not finishing this. You didnt do your research.

Leave my father ALONE !

Wake up peeps…It’s called CLICKBAIT He makes these videos with wrong pictures and his pronouncing names wrong because he needs comments. He needs action on the video so he can make money.

Why you kept showing Donny Osmond as Desi Arnez Junior is beyond me! I'm 71 years old now and I remember both of these iconic entertainers as young children. I am one month older than Desi Arnaz Jr

Desi could NEVER deny him! Wow.... I don't see Lucy in him at all XP
