Every Latino actor has to, at some point, trot out a Ricky Ricardo impression. Imagine how much of a cultural icon he was that here we are 70 years later and he's still being parodied.
Lucy said he was a creative and comedic genius, he just made bad business decisions. This was long after she had moved on; it was in an interview where she and her current husband, Gary Morton, were both present. She gave Desi credit for the popularity of _I Love Lucy._
She is, I’m watching her new series on hula I think. It may be on max or Netflix because those are the ones I have. I’m about to cancel worthless starz app which is long overdo.
@@JohnBrown-ig5ncOr could be a nod to the Mandela Effect. In college, my friends and I watched I Love Lucy reruns every weeknight in the 2000s, and I swear I can hear Ricky saying “you got some ‘splainin to do”.
Yeah, we know, we watched the clip and those lines were indeed spoken. What makes you think you need to repeat it here? Are we supposed to think you are clever?
@@Earthneedsado-over177I just did because it made me laugh replaying that scene in my head after it already passed. Also I process things differently when just seeing it visually vs seeing it written in words.
It helps that Marcello Hernandez is actually Cuban (Cuban and Dominican, but mostly Cuban) like Desi Arnaz was. Javier Bardem is Spanish (as in "from Spain"), which might seem the same, but it isn't.
This is comedy disguised as over earnest/serious acting on Jean Smart's part. Every part of her delivery is gold...but, "are you gay?" is so subtle delivered with just the right amount of Bette Davis. The remark about his accent with the wrist flip and then followed up by the half-drunk slurry "Tu...soy...GAY"? Comedic brilliance!
Chole Fineman is amazing, she sounds just like Ethel, but shes always super amazing as the supporting character, too, she seems very aware of the fine details .
@@cookinmaHe didn’t owe her anything. He wasn’t parodying her. The point of the sketch was to show that even a baby hippo is now dealing the type of parasocial bullshit that she was talking about. It only affirmed what she said. Just because someone is mentioned in a joke doesn’t mean the joke is on them. The joke was on obsessive fans who don’t know how to act.

Yes! From the Asian figurines on the mantle to the ruffle curtains, they nailed it. I didn't even realize how familiar I am with the set till I saw this.
So Marcello didn’t deliver that line well (like shut off the accent or seem to clean up his language). It was a joke instead of “Splainin’ to do” then.
MARCELLO!!! You rock!! You give us such a varied cast of characters -- not only Latinos, though we've NEEDED a really talented Cuban-American at SNL. It's about damned time. I'm in South Miami, which is sorta the vibrantly multicultural, We Never Close, We Want to Make the _Softer_ Side of the News version of Miami. Great to see you rocketing, amigo!
@@theVanishingGladiator Lucile Ball did pull a gun on Desi in real life. She was a no nonsense woman whoo rubbed may the wrong way- she had power and that was unthinkabke for a woman in those days. The TV version was complete acting.
The history of sitcom was so funny oh my God I almost nearly spit my Johnny Walker scotch out of my mouth. It was so funny the imitation of Lucille Ball and her husband oh my God ! Dude sound like Tony, Montana from Scarface. Sorry, I’m still laughing.

Jean Smart totally nailed this. The timing, the delivery it's so good i would watch a whole season of THIS version of I Love Lucy
"Whose Afraid of Lucy Woolf?"
"You have some answers to provide" is my new marital catchphrase.
😂 it was so good
Her delivery on “Are you gay?” Is effing incredible
As a gay, I was howling.
Of course, that term was not used yet, but we'll let that slide.
“ Eh-cue me?”
@@GaryDelabate my mama used to say that all the time.... We lived in Miami 🥲

When Lucy pulled out the revolver, I lost it 😂😂
That really caught me off guard- I had been laughing already, but that gave me the biggest laugh
💀
Hasta la vista Papi! 😅😂😅😂😅😂
I guessed Lucy had a gun. I don't know if that's a good thing or not.
2:58 Me screaming at the screen "Please be a gun, please be a gun, please be a gun" and then laughing uncontrollably when it is, in fact, a gun.
No cause i too thought it was gonna be a gun 😭
I think we all thought it was gonna be a gun. And yet she still delivered 😂
We have the same pfp!
RIGHT!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Yep! I was like... she has a Gun!! 😂

Well, she's not named Jean Stupid...
Which means "You I am gay" 😂😂

@@psychedelicshacksnycshelte2171I thought it was excellent. SHE is excellent and Lucy is appreciated more:)

She was great as "Charlene" in "Designing Women".
Preach 🙌🏻
"You'll have to tell me because I can't go on living this way?" 😂
“You have some answers to provide!” 😂😂😂. I’ve always loved toying with the saying, “ you have some essssssplaining to do”. Well executed.
I really like how they recreated the set.
Yeah I thought that was really good. Seemed very authentic.
In black and white, even
When the set becomes the best part of a skit, then you know something is wrong. But I really appreciate you trying to be nice.
If Joan Crawford had played Lucy
NO WIRE HANGERS EVER!!!!!!
@@madgang201 that’s the rule in our house 😏

They were trying to avoid a potential copyright lawsuit which as I think on it, could've been the joke.

what's up with these unhappy commenters just because someone quoted a funny part, geez
I was on the floor from, “Where the HELL have you been?!”🤣🤣🤣
The way Marcello Hernandez is a better Desi Arnaz than Javier Bardem in Being the Ricardos. Lol
He's just adorable!
Um..NO, it's terrible.
He's soooo good!!!
Funniest part to me is Marcello is what 25 years old? I wonder if he had ever even seen “I Love Lucy” before they wrote the sketch.
It helps that Marcello Hernandez is actually Cuban (Cuban and Dominican, but mostly Cuban) like Desi Arnaz was. Javier Bardem is Spanish (as in "from Spain"), which might seem the same, but it isn't.
Jean Smart is just simply amazing! I can't believe it took this long for her to get to host SNL.
1:52 Everyone slept in separate beds on television in those days. The first sitcom to feature a married couple in the same bed was The Flintstones.
It’s a GD joke
That's the joke.
@@elizabethchase6528 ruclips.net/video/MMC-EkI_LHc/видео.html
@@elizabethchase6528 But the Flintstones were the first ones to vacuum with a mastodon.
@@elizabethchase6528I thought it was The Munsters.
"Are you gay?"
lol I feel like Lucy Ball would've written that if the show had been made in the 90s.
Lol in the 50's "gay" meant happy
Lucy might have preferred if he had been just a little bit gayer. He was way too NOT gay for her.
...but not in the 2020s because "gay" hasn't been a punchline in years (except on SNL) xxx
That was a recurring joke on The Nanny, which aired in the 90s and was directly inspired by I Love Lucy
That would be Will & Grace. Jack was Ethel, and Karen was Fred.
LOL! The "are you gay?" was a lose my liquid moment. 😆
We are lucky to have Marcello's authentic Cuban.
Truly!
In EVERY sketch, it seems.
Cuban and dominican
He's getting typecast. Or is that the extent of his range?
@@michaelbayer5094 SNL didn't have a cast who was so Latino and here he is.
More of these, please!🎉 Suggestions: "The Honeymooners," and "The Jeffersons."😂

Jean Smart is not getting enough love ❤️
She's won three Emmys in a row I think she's doing okay.
Because she wasn’t funny.
@jonesfactor9 Designing Women......
HELLO!! She was funny as Charlene. And in the words of Julia Sugarbaker, "WE DON'T CARE!!"
I can't believe she hasn't hosted before.
She was incredible in the second season of Fargo. Highly recommended!
The comment about watching in your parent's hospital room hits close to home.
So it wasn't just me. That line registered incredibly too well with me (but in a good, funny way!)
0:21 femininenomenon mentioned⁉️⁉️⁉️
Was it on the cue card, or is Bowen just that obsessed, is my question 🤔

Yes! From the Asian figurines on the mantle to the ruffle curtains, they nailed it. I didn't even realize how familiar I am with the set till I saw this.
The serious dramatic acting is just awesome
"fun fact: edna went on to name hundreds of people in the industry she suspected of being communists. and this was 1992."
I screamed.
That twinkle in his eye when he just knew we were expecting him to say “… suspected of being gay” 😂🎉
an extra layer, Lucille Ball was a well documented communist. So the joke hit a couple levels 😂
You have quoted a line from the clip.
@@andrewvelonis5940 and it scared @barbraseville8984
That set is impeccable
"Tu soy gay!" 😭🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Eskiusmi?!"... 🤣
The way the crowd LOVES Marcelo 😂😂
They got the set, so spot on!! Even the little statues on the mantle.
Jean Smart is hilarious 😂
marcello as desi arnaz??? I LOVE IT
"You have some answers to provide!" Nice touch.
So Marcello didn’t deliver that line well (like shut off the accent or seem to clean up his language). It was a joke instead of “Splainin’ to do” then.
01:35 Best line of the season.
The season just started. Don't you think it's a little premature to say that? 😝
We were here
I usually don't say this about an SNL skit... but this could have been longer! Jean Smart was terrific!
1:42 that is sooo much my Grandmother Nonny god rest her troubled soul 😅 after she'd have a couple several bloody Mary's the dark drama was on
This was very funny, Lucy as sad, depressed but confident enough to stand up to Desi. Love it
The improper Spanish conjugation was hilarious.
Bowen looks great. Sooo handsome..
This is top tier SNL right here
Desi Arnaez hosted SNL in the 70's and did a good I Love Lucy parody with his son.
I have to try and find this!
@@ellicelits in the first season
@@genghiscan2918 thanks!
I remember it well. Desi jr played Ricky and Gilda Radner played Lucy.
Hands down, best skit of the night
I'd pay money to see the Jean Smart version of I Love Lucy!!!!!!!!!!
Jean Smart is amazing
“Lucy you’ve got some splaining to do!”
I love Bowen's TCM-esque host. ☺️
That was brilliant. OMG Jean Smart! Vicious!!
The set was INCREDIBLY accurate!
Marcello played Lucy’s husband perfectly! 🫶🏽
I havent laughed this hard at a sketch in a while 🤣
Jean Smart is the queen.
Props for the set design - so close to the show’s look
EK’CUE’ME?! 😂😂😂
Exactly! Every Latino person in the U.S. has a family member that says “eh-cue-MEE” 🤣🤣
I forget Lucy actually pulled a gun on Desi in real life. 😂
Jean Smart is too good for SNL! ❤
Love Jean Smart! 💕
"Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf?"
"I am, Ricky, I am. Waaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."
I actually love this Lucy and old sitcoms, you should do more of these old style recreations!
Jean Smart is wonderful.
Kind of amazed there hasn't been a good Lucy parody until now.
This was bad, probably why there hasn't been a parody.
And there still hasn't been a good parody. This was bad.
MADtv's was pretty good.
In Living Color hands down has the best Lucy parody, this one is a distant second...

I like to think that Lucy herself would have liked this sketch. I'm almost positive Desi would have.

Actually this was Lucille Ball behind the scenes. Also, Fred was a grump & Ethel would snap @ him.

Lucille Ball would have thought this was hilarious!! And according to daughter Lucie, much more accurate!!
"Where the hell have you been" took me out!!! Lol .... she nailed Lucy's stance. The bad wig helped. Lol
So good. Omg really perfect with Marello. References to historical facts are amazing too 😂😂
3:00 the way Lucy holds a gun
Disclaimer: no episode of a gun was found on “I Love Lucy.” Even Paramount Global rechecked.
Truly, if Lucille Ball had the societal freedoms to write any comedy she wanted… it would be this
