Who knew Desi could pull off a Charles Boyer accent? (I left the bit with the heavyset guy at the end just to show how size-ist the program could be at times--seemed like it was perfectly acceptable to laugh heartily at the overweight contestants! He was a frog catcher BTW.)

I love Desi so much! I love when he smiles, he is beautiful Desi and Lucy FOREVER IN MY HEART.....

@rtususian 5 лет назад

It's funny, but the poor / odd lighting on this show actually makes Desi look sexier than he did on the pristine I Love Lucy episodes.

@lancetop 12 лет назад

Desi was underrated. I think he was HILARIOUS. I think he was an AWESOME comedian!

@calalilygirl 12 лет назад

Creative genius he was. Well said.

@shoredude2 12 лет назад

I had once heard a story that CBS wouldn't allow Desi to be listed in the title of his and Lucy's program let alone give him top billing as he was Cuban. He fooled the network and got top billing as the "I" in "I Love Lucy".

@Aannan 4 года назад

Desi's facial expressions are priceless

@normal_media 11 лет назад

He and Lucy were geniuses. CHaracters on tv but business geniuses.

@segundooron 12 лет назад

This was wonderful. I absolutely love these episodes and I am thankful for the effort people have put into posting them. Thank you very much.

@maudiepoot1 12 лет назад

The studio didn't want a Cuban at all , Lucy had to fight them . Stupid studio thought America wouldn't accept him, Desi was so talented and handsome what a loss if the studio had won. He made that show as much as her and I think it was lucy's best work.

@njc2107 11 лет назад

They were a great pair, and it is truly unfortunate that it happened that way...

@wiguy3 9 лет назад

I don't know where Arlene ran into Desi the night before, but wouldn't it have been fun to have been a part of the group!

@Beautifulmusiclistnr 12 лет назад

"Righto".... Too funny! Are you a fairly young fellow? "Oui, Oui" Very funny stuff! It must have been Great fun to do this show! Thanks for posting!

@ravenvince2 8 лет назад

Arline gets them right every time she was good at the show.

@jediahagbossoumonde8348 10 лет назад

oui oui mon Cherie , his face! 😂😂😂😂😂

@ASU086 12 лет назад

Arlene always figures it out when it's Lucille, Desi or both of them. If you watch all four videos she figures it out.

@poetcomic1 11 лет назад

Their kids say 'daddy Desi' was the fun one, the funny one. Lucy was rather driven and intense and a little scary as a mother. Of course she was a comic genius as was he.

@TheCinematicPackrat1 5 лет назад

I believe Lucy said she wasn't funny when not working. So she could do comedy, but she wasn't naturally comedic herself. I don't know if I really believe that appraisal of herself, but I get what she means.

@ladyyuna2000 12 лет назад

i love watching I Love Lucy show

@thunderstruck665 14 лет назад

Liked how Desi was trying to keep from laughing out loud to prevent giving himself away!

@torchkit 14 лет назад

Dorothy's habit of looking at suit labels wouldn't tell anyone much today. The labels would all say China, Bangladesh or Vietnam.

@photo161 11 лет назад

...and his comic timing was great! Poor Lucy she didn't have a chance.

@soulierinvestments 13 лет назад

He made significant contributions to the history of Latin band music, and in 1951- 57, he helped set the foundations of what it means to be a television producer executive. The ideas he had for making his sitcom "I Love Lucy" were years ahead of their time, notably filming it before a live audience, not doing it on live TV. He could syndicate the films for ages and the Ball heirs are still getting residuals. Smart cookie.

@TryTheBLT 13 лет назад

This was amazingly funny. It's very hard for a person with an accent from one country (outside of the USA) and replace it with a completely different accent. Mr. Arnaz had an accent that was hard to mask, so he did an excellent job and probably got some help from an acting coach or something. Oh, and the last guy who gets made fun of for being heavy I think it's really sad that it was done with such callousness and lack of sensitivity on their part. At least today people pretend to care :o)

@sugarlipz96 14 лет назад

I know you can't really hear it here but i love Desi's laugh! hes adorable!

@kebinstl 14 лет назад

My favorite parts are when he whispers that he only has one accent, when denies being the star of the show, and when asked if he is a fairly young fellow. :)

@klw1396 12 лет назад

"Ehh..righto!" *gorgeous smile* I love it

@bernlin2000 11 лет назад

Arlene saves the show...yet again!

@AllenMQuinn 8 лет назад

She's such a funny and clever woman.

@araymond1able 4 месяца назад

This is just one of the top 10 episodes on WML stars. Some of the others--Vincent Price---Cesar Romero--Ann Sheridan and many others. Including Judo Instructor Toni West--(looked like Marylyn Monroe double). This many years later so much fun to watch.

@KatieG88 14 лет назад

He and Lucy...

@RedcoatsReturn 4 года назад

Gee, yi sured loved this show! 😊

@calalilygirl 12 лет назад

I agree with you life, isn't always fair.

@reno1uest 11 лет назад

About 90% correct. They did not meet until the movies. The show Too Many Girls that Desi was in on stage was being made into a movie and they brought Desi and a few other guys out from Broadway but Lucy replaced the leading lady.

@jonathanpinckney9227 6 лет назад

First time I've ever seen Desi in a role was Bataan.

@misstanwyck 14 лет назад

omg LOL "oui oui" haha So funny! ♥ Lucy and Desi had very similar handwriting.

@davidevans3175 12 лет назад

The Desinator.

@TheFlightlessRaven 13 лет назад

i love how he accidently went from french to british xD "Righto!"

@henrygrove100 14 лет назад

he has some splainin to do!

@huddy53 12 лет назад

This video is from November of 1952, Lucy was entering the six months of pregnancy ... I also love to this man.

@MrsWillShakes13 13 лет назад

@SOLE2SOUL The women absolutely threw themselves at him. The main reason he and Lucy divorced was that he couldn't resist all the female attention.

@johnpickford4222 Год назад

He also was a drunk and the pressure of being second banana and thought of only as a “wet back” or “lowly Hispanic” or riding on Lucille Ball’s coattails created huge fights between them which made living together impossible. He also sought out cheap woman for affairs and didn’t understand why this would upset his wife because it was ‘part of his culture’. In a Barbara Walters interview, Lucille Ball did refer to him as a loser for destroying everything they had hoped, dreamed and worked for: their marriage, their family and business. “He destroyed it, threw it all away.” How sad, tragic and pathetic.

@TheAQHAgal 13 лет назад

Gosh, Desi's awesome! Who else could pull that off ! :)

@jaqqqqqqattack 13 лет назад

I noticed a little flaw in his French - he pronounces the "ch" as the hard "ch" (i.e. the "tsch" in "Deutsch"), which is seen universally in Spanish, as opposed to the soft "ch" (like the "sh" in "show"), which is always seen in French. Still well-done and hilarious! I loved it!

@sugarlipz96 14 лет назад

Desi was amazing on this :P

@debstrzelecki8805 11 лет назад

$45 was a helluva lot of bucks back then. Lucy and Desi were brilliant.

@librarybob1958 13 лет назад

Writer-humorist Hal Block was with the program in its early days, quickly falling into disfavor when he started making borderline risque jokes on the air, frequently at the sponsor's expense. These were pretty tame by today's standards, but back when USA stood for Uptight States of America in some categories, it engendered a negative response from viewers. He would spend the remainder of his life as a writer, winning two Emmys for his work in that area over the next three decades. He died in '77

Even disguising his voice, he sounds like Desi.

Ah i love desi! hes so funny!

@Lokus199 11 лет назад

Frog Catcher. You can find the clip on youtube

@calalilygirl 13 лет назад

@zacefronswife100 From everything I've ever heard he really was. He was also a superb actor wth great timing. Too bad he was always really overshadowed by Lucy, although he didn't ever care.. Loved the righto! remark.

@rickcharles191 11 лет назад

Have an uncle with the same hair, still.

@mslgizzle 4 года назад

The First Peep Desi made was a dead giveaway, the panel is being curtious😂

@calalilygirl 14 лет назад

Desi was great here

@achattykath 11 лет назад

They remained friends, though.

"Size-ist"? Such jargon

Omg its Penn Jillette from Penn & Teller!

@mshockey73 11 лет назад

I feel gipped....what was Tiny's occupation?

@calalilygirl 13 лет назад

Desi is a scream here!

@Toywithme200 11 лет назад

oh i see, i didnt know that. thats too bad. they were a great pair. but i guess good looks and lots of money bring out a person's darker urges, especially in hollywood.

@olympiafencing 14 лет назад

He's great..lol

@rtususian 5 лет назад

rtususian 1 second ago It's funny, but the poor / odd lighting on this show actually makes Desi look sexier than he did on the pristine I Love Lucy episodes.

@njc2107 11 лет назад

He was a womanizer. He loved Lucy, but he couldn't control his urges to flirt and be around other women. He cheated on her, which is why they eventually divorced.

who cares, lucy was a pain in the ass. even her children couldn't really stand her.

@SatchmoSings 13 лет назад

@sennasam That's a very good observation however Arnaz did get a lot of recognition, all the way to the bank! ;)

@MrsCullenJankowski HE IS MY OLD MAN CRUSH! Ei ei ei!!

@texasmimi5566 2 года назад

Desi was my very first crush (Ricky Ricardo) at age 4 and set the stage for my preference for dark (hair and eyes) Latin/Hispanic men. I have no interest in blonde, blue eyed men.

@Veggieman87 14 лет назад

Oh, God, I'm surprised he was able to keep them off the scent for so long.

@calalilygirl 14 лет назад

@torchkit I guess clothes really meant a lot back then.

@beatlesfreak89 12 лет назад

I always wondered how Desi got his hair to look like that.

@Toywithme200 11 лет назад

what did he do to her?

@marjoriemargel1567 5 лет назад

LadyScorpio39 Desi was bad as a supportive and loyal spouse.

@michaelmantle6043 5 лет назад

Mr. Cerf asks about Miss Imogene "Coco", whose correct last name was Coca. Over the years, he rudely and stupidly brutalized famous people's names, while always trying to affect an air of intelligence and wisdom. Dullard.

Lighten up, dork.

When was this filmed?

@TheAQHAgal 13 лет назад

Btw...what year was this?

@rtususian 5 лет назад

It's funny, but the poor / odd lighting on this show actually makes Desi look sexier and more sensual than he did on the pristine I Love Lucy episodes.

@johnpickford4222 Год назад

You got some “splaining” to do.

@cly2fan 11 лет назад

Is this after the divorce He loved her too.

@johnpickford4222 Год назад

Grow up. He loved her, he would have cut back on the booze and broads. She may have loved what he represented at one time to her, but she couldn’t have a life with him.
