Yes, that's her husband, Ricky Ricardo. Ethel is her neighbor and best friend. The man playing Ricky Ricardo, Desi Arnaz was Lucille Ball's husband in real life.
The grand dame queen of sitcom comedy...period. I Love Lucy practically invented sitcoms. Only Carol Burnett comes in a close second, but cheers to Lucille Ball. This show runs everywhere across the globe to this day, in every language possible and has never had a day off the air in re-runs.
Lucy almost drowned in real life in this scene because the Italian woman actress didn't know English and she kept Lucy down in the grapes. Lucy said she had grapes coming out of her nose and she almost suffocated for real. There was another Lucy episode in 1963 where Lucy and Viv are repairing a shower and they accidentally lock themselves in and the water is rising. Lucy had to go to the bottom of the shower to remove the drain so the water could drain out, but she almost drowned here too in real life. These were done in front of a live studio audience and the audience thought it was just part of the script. Because Lucy wasn't able to say her lines, Viv rephrased her own dialogue to help Lucy.
I have seen Lucille interviewed about this & she did not say that she almost drowned!🙄 She said that the Italian wouldn't let her up & over reacted but she did not say that she almost drowned in this stomping grapes skit!!! Pretty sure that you're over embellishing to the point of untrue.🙄
It's not the Vitavitavegimen sketch or even the job at the chocolate factory, but damn it, it is so funny. Lucille Ball is the queen of expressive and physical comedy.
Great clean comedy. Notice funny as heck, and no bad language. That is why actors of that time. True comedians. some did swear, but you very seldom seen it.
Look for I Love Lucy on your TV lineup. I don't think the show has ever been out of syndication. When you just can't find anything to watch, these old episodes from back in the 50's can be quite cathartic.
I’m glad you’re discovering some of these old shows. As commenters have mentioned with your other recent posts, the sitcoms and variety shows of the sixties and seventies were meant for the whole family to enjoy. They couldn’t rely on cheap sexual innuendos to make people laugh. (Okay, maybe now and then they slipped in something but it was usually subtle enough that younger kids wouldn’t catch on.) The writers and actors had to have real talent, and as you’ve seen they produced some great comedy that now and then had us laughing so hard our sides hurt. When a comedy skit is remembered fifty years later and can make a new generation laugh out loud, you know it’s good. I love watching your genuine, pure enjoyment as you watch these videos. Your laughter is contagious and makes the stroll down memory lane even more fun.
You've really liked the Tim Conway clips from the Carol Burnett shows [ the dentist , elephant clip ] , you need to look up any of the Tim Conway Old Man skits , where he portrays a lunch counterman , repairman , dry cleaner , sheriff etc . A laugh a minute .
Lucy was also a great physical comedian - between the way she throws her body into it AND her hilarious facial expressions just adds to the way she delivered her lines spot on. A true American icon.
That's Desi Arnaz. He was her husband in real life and played that role on the show. No one could understand stand him through his thick accent. Desi was also a Cuban night club singer who was famous in his own right with several hits and albums of his own.
You need to watch the show, it’s hilarious. Ricky and Lucy were husband and wife in real life , Lucy was also the first to show her pregnancy on television it was a huge controversy
Yes, that is 'Ricki', Lucy's husband. They were husband and wife in real life Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. They're going to wonder what the added flavouring is for the wine for sure! 😆
Lucy said in an interview years and years later that this was her favourite episode and she really was struggling for breath because the other woman who was hired to play the part was a local villager who really didn't understand English. When the play fighting began, she took it seriously and started really getting into Lucy. Lucy also commented that the stomping of the grapes was not how it would happen in the 1950s or later, and that they stopped doing that 100 years prior because of machinery.
Thanks for telling it as Lucille did! There is another commenter here, who recapped this by saying that Lucille Ball said that she almost drowned. 🙄 So glad that you commented with the real truth of the matter! Some folks just love to embellish until the truth is no longer authentic & becomes their own new lie.😢
I think maybe my favorite episode is the one where Lucy and Ethel are hired to act like Martians. It is such a hoot. But I dunno. There are a ton of good ones.
Lucille Ball, the actress and comedian once said in interview, she'd do anything to get the laugh. This shows that to a T. The man was Dezi Arnez, which played Ricky Ricardo in the also playing her husband on the TV series and wad her husband in real life until the final season of the series when they were divorced. The did however create Desilu studios where her later series were performed from and then he finally left that and his partnership in that in the early 70s. His final tv appearance was on the TV series Alice which starred Lina Lavin (sic) which also appeared on CBS. A week after that appearance he passed away.
Try watching the skit where she and Ethel were working assembly line at Candy Factory. Hysterically funny! Her shows were hysterical every week. She always got in trouble. Her husband on show was her true husband in real life. Desi Arnaz. He was from Cuba. So when he breaks into spitting Spanish real fast on show, you KNOW Lucy has done something to get into trouble. Love your reactions! Your joy and smile make us viewers so happy to watch you having fun! Thank you! ❤❤🎉🎉😊😊
Actually they still make wine like this in old school places that keep this practice of making wine, there is a winary in Oregon that employs people to use this method too as well as in Portugal.
Lucy did what she wanted to do. Soak up the local color. I hope you will be able to see all the episodes of I Love Lucy. It is hilarious and still can make you laugh even though the humor was from the late 1950's. Probably your grandparents' time. I came shortly after in the 60's, but I have watched all the episodes over and over again, and still continue to laugh. Fortunately, I Love Lucy has always been in reruns for all the generations that came after.
Lucille Ball said in an interview that the Italian actress got a bit carried away with the scene and she almost drowned her in those grapes. She really wasn't letting her up, so the struggle was a bit real.
Yes, that's her husband, Ricky Ricardo. Ethel is her neighbor and best friend. The man playing Ricky Ricardo, Desi Arnaz was Lucille Ball's husband in real life.
Desi Arnez was Lucy's real-life hubby!!! A band leader and vocalist!
Every show Lucy got into some type of trouble, funny Trouble.
Do "All in the family and The jeffersons and Sandford and son and The golden girls" funny shows!!!
Ethel was Lucy's parter in crime.
that the perfect way to put it!

I remember that Ricky says that in Cuba, they had a different word for the Italian movie actresses called "earthy." They said, "Ay ay ay ay AY!"
Yes. That is how. They were stomping the yard before stomping the yard was a thing!!!!
I grew up watching Lucille Ball. I love listening to “My Favorite Husband” starring Lucille Ball, Richard Denning, Bea Benaderet and Gale Gordon.

Will & Grace recreated both of these scenes! They even did a whole episode recreating iconic I Love Lucy scenes.

I loved this show !

One of the most classic episodes from Lucy.

Apparently, the fight in the vat became a REAL fight!! Totally classic scene!!
Fun fact- Lucille Ball introduced Alex Trebek to Merv Griffin & the rest is Jeopardy! history.
From my understanding, this scene was an actual fight because of the language barrier. It was so funny that they kept it in.
The fight was not scripted. For whatever reason the Italian got pissed at Lucy and started fighting her. Lol
You've really liked the Tim Conway clips from the Carol Burnett shows [ the dentist , elephant clip ] , you need to look up any of the Tim Conway Old Man skits , where he portrays a lunch counterman , repairman , dry cleaner , sheriff etc . A laugh a minute .
The next scene is Lucy's face being stained from the grapes to the point that Ricky's friend couldn't put her in the movie.
Lucy was also a great physical comedian - between the way she throws her body into it AND her hilarious facial expressions just adds to the way she delivered her lines spot on. A true American icon.
One of my favorite shoes!
That's Desi Arnaz. He was her husband in real life and played that role on the show. No one could understand stand him through his thick accent. Desi was also a Cuban night club singer who was famous in his own right with several hits and albums of his own.
Another great Lucy bit "Lucy and Harpo Marx Mirrow Routine" copy of a bit Groucho and Harpo did in one of The Marx Brothers movie.
They don't call it the grapes of wrath for nothing!
Ricky Recardo, her husband and singer.
You need to watch the show, it’s hilarious.
Ricky and Lucy were husband and wife in real life , Lucy was also the first to show her pregnancy on television it was a huge controversy
He is Ricky Lucy's husband on the show, and real life.. They divorced years later..
Yes, that is 'Ricki', Lucy's husband. They were husband and wife in real life Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. They're going to wonder what the added flavouring is for the wine for sure! 😆
Some of what happened in the wine vat was not scripted.
She had bright red hair.
Ya that's Lucy's husband in the show & real life.
Do the one where they are wrapping chocolate
Desi is cuban.
Lucy said in an interview years and years later that this was her favourite episode and she really was struggling for breath because the other woman who was hired to play the part was a local villager who really didn't understand English.

@@bquietsouhear So true.
Her real husband Desi Arnez
I wouldn't wNt to drink that wine. 😅
I think maybe my favorite episode is the one where Lucy and Ethel are hired to act like Martians. It is such a hoot. But I dunno. There are a ton of good ones.
Before mud and Jello wrestling was a thing. LOL

That open mouthed gasp thing was one of Lucy's common expressions. The writers even wrote into some scripts.

This is one of my favorites! Also I love the scene where Ricky reads an English book, English pronunciation can be so confusing!!
Lucille Ball was one of the funniest woman who ever lived. She is a natural treasure who will never be replaced.
I knew i didnt like wine for some reason. I love lucy was good hole hearted stuff tho
It is her expressions each time, they are priceless.
Ricky Ricardo was Lucy's husband, both on the show and in real life
Actually they still make wine like this in old school places that keep this practice of making wine, there is a winary in Oregon that employs people to use this method too as well as in Portugal.
Did you ever hear the one about the skinny grape stomper who fell into the vat? She got a little behind in her work......
@@epsteinisms1483 what,, 😂😂
Yes, the guy is Ricky Ricardo, Lucy's husband.
That's Ricky that's Lucy's husband in real life also
Do "WKRP: The turkey drop"
Watch lucy does the Tango with the eggs.

👍🏻😂👍🏻
T V was so much more entertaining back in the day, than today with all the stupid reality shows.
