GREGG OPPENHEIMER, son of "I Love Lucy" creator-producer-head writer Jess Oppenheimer, left a successful law career in order to complete his late father’s humorous memoir, "Laughs, Luck…and Lucy: How I Came to Create the Most Popular Sitcom of All Time" (Syracuse University Press). The book’s success led to Gregg’s hit comedy play, "I Love Lucy: A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Sitcom," which aired on public radio in 2018 (now available at LATW.org). From 2000 to 2007, Gregg produced the multi-award-winning "I Love Lucy" DVD Series for CBS. Starting in 2014 Gregg co-wrote and directed the annual Palm Springs benefit show "ON THE AIR: An Evening of Live Radio Classics!" for the award-winning Dezart Performs theatre company, directing such performers as Gary Beach, Carole Cook, Joyce Bulifant, Mariette Hartley, Hal Linden, Gavin MacLeod, Millicent Martin, Lee Meriwether, Phil Proctor, Marion Ross, and Fred Willard. Gregg is a member of ASCAP and The Dramatists Guild of America.
Lucille Ball rehearses the very first episode of "I Love Lucy"
This "magic snapshot" (colorized by yours truly) was taken on September 8, 1951, on Stage 2 of General Service Studios in Hollywood, as the "I Love Lucy" cast and crew prepare to film the very first episode’-"Lucy Thinks Ricky Is Trying to Murder Her." Lucy, her hair still in a babushka, practices a bit of business in the kitchen as the crew rehearses their camera movements.
The Desi Arnaz Orchestra, led by Musical Director Wilbur Hatch (facing the band, in gray pants, white shirt and suspenders) is there to provide live underscoring during filming (a practice abandoned after the first episode). The orchestra's bandstands bear the initials "DA" ("Desi Arnaz"), but will soon be repainted "...

Shari Lewis's Unseen 1958 NBC Screen Test

In 1958, when Shari Lewis was a popular local kids’ daytime TV personality in NYC but largely unknown to the rest of the nation, my father flew her out to Hollywood to film a pilot for NBC. When she arrived, my parents took her to dinner at Chasen's. Shari later told me that her biggest thrill was when Groucho Marx came over to their table and wiggled his eyebrows at her. That, she said, was th...

"Burns & Allen" with Rich Little as Jack Benny
This wasn't long after James Garner left Maverick (and Warner Bros., whose boss was known for being stiff toward his TV players, including Jim).
What a woman. An absolute rose.
Shari Lewis was the kind of talent you only get once in a blue moon. Still funny 70 years later, gorgeous, and could sing/joke/dance with the best of them. RIP Shari. As a 90’s kid my mom loved watching Play A Long with me. Sad to have lost both painfully early to cancer. Only the good die young sadly. So glad to see this all these years later.
Very funny and so very clever. The show was many years ahead of its time. Audiences today would have loved it.
Trump also wears a hair piece without it he would look just like this guy
My goodness. How prophetic.
I adore Cyril Richard and this is a real treasure. Thank you for posting it. Claudia Crawford is such a huge talent. Those were great times.
This is great!😀
Add this to the "Baron Trump's Marvelous Underground Journey" and "The Last President" and the matrix could be saying shit is about to get real, and in 17 years, The Last President, Barron Trump, when America as we know it sees its end. OR, that could all just be conspiratorial talk. All comes down to people's beliefs. But I like recognizing the universe of things, for what it shows, and to ponder upon it all. lol Who have the players been and who are they now. Well on 9/11 Putin, Benji and America got what they wanted to further the plans in middle east. They put Trump on air immediately. Builders want to build. Trump is the one who wanted to help negotiate the peace, since at least 1983. Look up the image Donald the Dove and look at description of the guy who took pic for 1983 Magazine and the story is about Trump and peace between Israel and Palestine. Then understanding why Trump said he would never allow a central bank crypto to rule us. There is a shit ton that has been the lay-up to now. Including setting Iran into play for this moment in history. Remember on 9/11 when Israel 's former Prime Minister said to us that very morning we had to attack specific nations? ruclips.net/video/5FQ2nxRABXc/видео.htmlsi=d-Oa7uoAmZsqF6Zg&t=417 We are going to all be on a wild ride. Regardless, no way was Kamala going to lead us through, all the so-called coincidences in films and books etc., showed it is Trump. Crazy World :)
2:24 aged well
Love it!😄
I was 10 when she passed away and I feel as if a major part of my childhood died with her. I loved her,and lambchop growing up. Even now,as I type,I'm sitting here with my 2 year old ,who can't get enough of her. She was truly a beautiful, talented individual. May she rest in peace.
THANKS FOR THIS!
Has the fact that this Trump resembles Fred Trump Sr occurred to anyone else.
Before her iconic hairstyle on Lamchops play along
So, the entire episode, which is also easily found on RUclips (it's called The End of the World, season 1, episode 30, 1958) is about a guy named trump who comes to the town to tell them that meteors are going to rain down at midnight (the Perseids meteor shower), and he can help them build a "wall" that will protect them. This "wall" is umbrellas that have been painted with markings and supposedly have some magnetism or some kind of thing that will repel the meteors. So he swindles the town into forking over their possessions to buy these umbrellas to save their lives from the meteors. It's a fairly typical "snake oil salesman" story - it just so happens that the nefarious character is named Trump. Could be definite similarities to today's Trump, but no more similar than the countless stories like that that have been told throughout the ages. Even the term "big lie" - the whole reason we use that term now is because of its history. The show is not predictive, it's more that what's happening now is just history repeating itself and people falling for the same scare tactics over and over, just packaged differently.
I’ve been trying to get people to watch this video since 1989……
This is F-ING insane!!
i was today years old when i suddenly realized SHE WAS PUPPETEERING AND VOICING LAMB CHOP THE WHOLE TIME. i realize that makes me sound like a moron, and maybe i am, but i remember watching lamb chop as a little kid and i think i always just thought someone else was doing lamb chop. hadn't really thought about it in years, so my childhood assumptions have just carried on right into adulthood. but no, that was her the whole time. jfc that's so impressive.
When I was 4 hahaha 🤣 loved this ...her pretending i was the lamb hahaha
When you watch the whole episode ,at the end when he told his partner in crime that he wasn't planning on taking off with his share of the loot,he asked his partner " do you think I'm lying?". His partner says " you don't want me to answer that ".
Fear porn. They eatin the cats. Crazy how fasciest want to be says he needs to go back to 1798 to justify concentration camps.
No way. No way, this is real. how surreal.
So I have a question this episode is just like Trump. So since Trump quotes Hitler so he talks just like this guy Trump did he imitate the western Trump
Our real life Trump is worse!
Why does it feel like this is AI-generated?
AIN'T NO WAY 💀🙏
Nostradamus, plain and simple (LOL!!!)
Thanks, Gregg! Bump. Just sane... :^) Saint
What are your ideas on slowing down the open border being used for trafficking human and substances and also as a place to send their criminals to get in this country . Skip the immigration part . What are the ideas of the Democratic Party? I really want to know but can’t find them. Democrats have had the presidency for 12 out of the last 16 years and there hasn’t been an improvement at the border it has gotten worse and the speeches on it are awful.
Please repeat this again and again maybe just maybe some People listening to Donald Trump will WAKE UP
💯📠

You put this on because you want people to vote for a communist named Kamala Harris.
If being a sane and much better alternative to Nazi sympathizer Donald Trump makes someone a "communist" then I'm glad to support and vote for a communist
I agree this looks like Trump's father...and was probably modeled after him. LOL! More people need to see this!
Fred Trump and DonOld wants to be just like Daddy 🎪🤡
President Donald J Trump Has Been President For 4 Years Since This Was Introduced In 2016 Joe Biden Kamala Harris Administration For 4 Years It Is Now 2024 Just Before The Election Joe Biden Incompetent Dysfunctional Incapacitated Coup Against President Joe Biden Not 1 Democrat Voted For Kamala Harris For Vice President Or Nominee For President

How beautiful I was ten then. and I fell in love with sharing she was so beautiful and very talented❤
I'm a scientist I do research for a prestigious and most venerable Corporation. And from my studies I have discovered an imminent danger! The sky is falling! The world is burning! Buy my solar panels before it's too late! Trade in your old car for my new expensive electric car. Use my batteries they're safe for the environment despite the fact that are volatile and are known to explode and burn uncontrollably. And the manufacturer of them enslaves children and decimates the environment in places you will never see. Buy all this earth saving equipment made by slave labor in countries that have no human rights poor environmental protections. Wars will have to be fought in order to access some of the resources but that's okay there's too many people on the planet anyway. Don't worry you will be safe, if you give up your ability to think for yourself and make your own decisions. Hurry now! The sky is falling! And the only way to stop it is to give me totalitarian control. 2+2= whatever I say it is! You will do what you are told and you will like it! Or else feel the wrath of the Orange Monster!🤘🏼👁️🤚🏼
He stole his bit, it wasn't original!
This proves Trump has plot armor
Time to make this go viral.
Wow! You can't make this stuff up...
This is chilling
