He’s only 53 here but his movements and facial muscles show a lot of wear and tear.
Lucie is so well mannered and well spoken.
Ya, its like he had dentures
@@laurenbendik2006 more like serious drinking the night morning and week before. even his best friend and music director said that he was far gone at the end of the show. that being the I love Lucy @conneticut episodes
@@thomasdelvin3683 plus heavy smoking aged all of them. Even Lucille Ball did get so much older looking then what the average 70-75 year old looks like now.
I think he looks his age of 53 here. To me anyways.
@@WeirdBrandi I feel Desi aged very badly - all the smoking and heavy drinking.
Probably the most beloved Cuban who ever lived. Despite his faults he was loved. Nobody is perfect.
Unfortunately he was more than non imperfect! Womanizer. Big time alcoholic mess!!!!!
@@CharlesWhite-wh4cc And most of Hollywood was. Don’t see anyone bashing Kirk Douglas, Spencer Tracy, William Holden, Frank Sinatra, just to name a few. All were married & womanizers & alcoholics.
@@CharlesWhite-wh4cc He may have been all of the things you say, but he gave us [along with Lucy] the best comedy that has ever aired on American TV! And make no mistake about it, he was responsible for the success of "I Love Lucy." Lucy herself admitted it. So, cut him some slack.
@@rayarena879 thank-you!
@@marthay.higuera9723 not like Desi
Sing it Desi! We love you, and miss you ❤️
These were the days! Desi is a great American success story.
Lucie Arnaz was very talented in her own right. I was glad Lucy and Desi were both able to see her star on Broadway in “They’re Playing Our Song” in the late 1970s.
I loved listening and singing along with this song while driving with the windows down on a sunny day.
The elbow touching was hilarious 😂 “Camina con los codos”, literally means that someone walks with their elbows. Figuratively it means that someone is, let’s say, careful with their money. In other words, you say that about someone (or touch your elbow) when they’re cheap.
In spite of his flaws, Desi was the life of the party with his charisma, hard worker, creative, entertainer, decent musician and business man!!
The rest of that song is the best...he thanks the Lord in Heaven above ... 🎶 💜
Desi was so sharp!
Even Lucille gave a lot credit to desi
Desi Jr looks and sounds like his Dad a whole lot. Also the daughter Lucie Arnaz looks like her Dad.
He's only 53 here? Wow he looks older. I wonder why.
Arnez looks so old here because he was a play boy. That'll age a man.
Heavy drinking and smoking
@@fredricardo3272 well In fairness I guess he did live a fun life lol.
Running that studio was killing him. He worked very long and hard hours when they ran the studio
Desi = 💝
2:16 😂😂😂 just like Lucy Bsll
"Cuban Pete" was no slouch as a singer and entertainer.
Back when she still had long hair ....not sure why she chose short hair for the rest of her life
He wasn't Lucy
And she wasn't Desi
good clean fun
yall really like reminiscing on the past which is bad for you.
It’s bad not to.
Lucille Ball was not a very person.
Desi invented the 3 camera TV system. He was a Genius!
It will forever anger me that Desi does not get the same amount of credit that Lucy gets when he definitely deserves it, y’all have to remember he came to Cuba with nothing after it was taken away from him and his family in 1933 Cuban revolution I mean he went from cleaning bird cages to doing so much in the film and music industry. Don’t get me wrong this is not a hate thing for Lucy she deserves the credit but Desi does as well
The revolution was in 59 I think , so he was able to keep his homeland possessions until he was past a success here in the states
@@mariocisneros911 the Cuban revolution was in 1933. His family fled.
I feel both of them had trauma in the upbringing - Lucy's father died when she was very young and mother was not available, left to work elsewhere w/o her children. Desi lost all financial assets when he left Cuba as a teenager - but also, it felt like both his parents left a lot to be desired. Mother and Father were self-involved people. But Desi was always good to them. His mother lived 2 years longer than he did and he left money for her to be taken care of. Both Desi and Lucy cherished the family and did what as they could for them. They both worked hard, made the best of what they had; also loved their children and loved each other - just couldn't live together.
@@LJ-ht4zs exactlyyy thank youu
@@mariocisneros911 Not true
Desi was more talented and important than most people will ever know!📻📺🎥🎬🎤🎶
YES
@@scotnick59 👌
He is a genius 👏 no question about it.
@@aa697 👌
Thank you almost all these other comments are bashing him .
I've never seen this before!! Wonderful!! Lucy was definitely daddies little girl !!!! She adored her father !!
The Father of the Sitcom....Love you Desi
He was not the father of the sitcom. He only created a technique to shoot them using 3 35mm film cameras.
@@wheels2fun526I Love Lucy was the first sitcom to go syndicated (off network).
Excellent clip , you can really tell that Lucie just adores her dad . Desi was a great father and so multi talented .
He was vastly underrated - a brilliant businessman and innovator. It's so sad that he indulged in such self-destructive behavior. He was also a role model for the Latin American community of entertainers. RIP Desi.
You say self-destructive?
Did y'all read his book "A Book" that was published in 1976. He pulls no punches, and his son Desi Jr. (his best friend) made him tell the honest story when he wrote it. Yes, He always loved Lucy and his children for the day he died. I agree with you, by the way. ❤
The same way that Desi Arnaz didn't need another Hispanic role model, neither do any other Hispanics need a role model. We are proud of our heritage, but we don't look at others in such a tribal way.
@@amymjennings I'm guessing they mean self destructive in the sense that he was an alcoholic and a chain smoker
@Valentin R. Dominguez love Desi. Desilu made Star Trek happen, these people are amazing. ♥️🤟
Brilliant man. Thanks for so much laughter Desi. Best Cuban American ever!
Love Desi’s reply when Lucie said her mother raised her allowance to $5.00 a week after the divorce.
😂 True business man!
Desi was not just good in business and the technical aspect of the show but HE WAS FUNNY !
Wow Desi looks so old there. He aged so much from when I love Lucy comedy hour ended in 1960. This was just ten years later. His dyed hair doesn’t help.
I think he was drinking a fair amount.
alcohol can hit a face harder than a Max truck full speed
There were reports that even during the original l Love Lucy show he had to dye his hair. It wasn't about him turning prematurely gray. Desi's hard living even then was causing him to age faster than he naturally should have. He had to dye his hair even back in the mid 1950's in order to maintain the look of an age difference between the Mertz's and the Ricardos.
All of that being said Desi Arnaz was one of the all time giants/geniuses of entertainment. No doubt about it.
I heard he was an alcoholic and was a chain smoker
@@lauraswan8647 Both Lucille and Desi threw it all away for tobacco. "But she had an aortic aneurysm, not cancer!" Yes, I know. Smoking is murder, literally, on the aorta. "But she lived to 77!" Ugh... if that's a long life, I'd better worry.
Beautiful song, lovely talented actor, singer, dancer, entertainer, businessman, pioner, tv/ studio mogul;
Ditto
Talent coming out of his ears 👏👏👏👏
I was hit by a car when I was a teenager. I spent 2 months recovering and The Mike Douglas was something I looked forward to every day that time.
only if you've struggled to have children can you understand how greatful they both felt .
Loved desi gone too soon a brilliant man😁🇨🇦🇨🇦
Thanks for posting this!! Haven't seen this interview before and it made my day. 😊
He did not age well but what he introduced into the infancy of television is nothing short of genius.
He’s so funny!
Yes, even during the LUCY SHOW years he was helping the scripts along to make Lucy's shows funnier. He was the Executive Director of THE LUCY SHOW for the first half of its first season (1962-63). This was more than 2 years AFTER they divorced!!
On every thing I've seen recently, Desi is always smoking 🚬 🚭. That's just sad.
The comments on this post anger me yes I am very aware what Desi did and I am not supporting cheating and drinking in any way shape or form but you have to realize that Lucy forgave Desi for a reason as well as their children forgiving him so if they can then why can’t you. I hate how toxic and negative this generation is like ok we get it he cheated and they were on good terms so I think we can move on from calling Desi a horrible person when clearly he was not.
Also people talk about Desi like their so perfect and are angels like I bet you are not as good as you claim to be 😊
So true. But this was the norm for most of the big name actors & musicians. Not condoning thiS type of behavior, but Desi was not isolated in this regard. Stop passing judgement. He was a very talented man who was responsible for the success of Desilu & I Love Lucy. Lucy has said that without Desi, there would be no Lucy. I have read both of their autobiographies & other books by close friends who knew them. Lucille Ball was not like her Lucy persona.
@@marthay.higuera9723 THANK YOU PREACH some people are too fucking clueless to get it though.
Lucy was Desi’s saviour, her passion. Gary Morton was her rock.
@@graceelaine698 true true
He was pretty young here but that jaw and the sniffles are pretty clear signs of what he was going through.
I thought I was the only one that noticed!
What about his jaw? Honest question, I don’t know. The sniffles I’m guessing it’s from the drinking.
@@fonso1030came to ask the same thing
That is true Mr arnaz should had equal staus and be recognized for his talent for all the shows
He was an innovative man and forever he will show influence
He's drunk 🥴
Why is his hair parted on a different side here? Very odd
more please, would enjoy seeing more Desi on Mike Douglas show
Love this omg 😱 this song brings back such memories..I miss Lucy and Desi
Desi look and sounds like my own father. Lucie is beautiful.
Thank you Desi, a great CUBANAMERICAN man.
Wasn't technicolor out already ? look like it was filmed in the 50s.
Desi will always be uncle Ricky to me.
Desi was a talented man.
A humble man. ♥️🙂
Also not to mention you do t know what happens behind closed doors as well as what really happened between them. You have to remember a lot of people lie for money and attention so don’t always believe what you hear.
I always thought it was strange that he spoke with such an accent off I Love Lucy that he is very hard to understand. Much easier on the show.
I totally believe that "We only got 50 cents/week allowance" from Lucie because that was the depression-era effect that her parents lived, like so many other Americans. Truth : It's one of the things that made America great.
Desi Arnaz came from a very wealthy family in Cuba. He was a hell of an entertainer. RIP
53 years old. Ouch!!
Great interview. Thanks for posting doesn't Desi hear talking sounds like Tony Montana or is it just me that thinks it...
He does, but that just gives kudos to Al Pacino in Scarface for imitating the Cuban accent so well!
Desi was very funny on I Love Lucy.
he looks terrible here - what happened? he was only 53 during 1970
All that drinking and smoking
Desi had more talent in his little finger than Lucille Ball ever had in her whole body.
What a fantastic interview great memories…
I LOVE Desi! He was a genius I Love Lucy wouldn’t have been ILL without Desi. Desi was funny too
Yeah, he was pretty buggered-up here.
Very talented performer - just makes you feel good
Love him forever
Love seeing them together. ❤️
LUCIE LOOKS JUST LIKE HER DAD...BUT HER LAUGH AND MANNERISMS ARE THOSE OF HER MOM...I LOVE LUCY & DESI.....ONLY GOD HAS THE RIGHT TO SIT IN JUDGEMENT OF HIS CREATIONS.
I love Lucy n desi arnaz👋👋🥰🥰🥰🙏
He lost that Ricky Ricardo hairdo
What a great song from a father!
I remember 🎗️when Desi Mort. 😢💔☠️ My 😺 named Love was ill at the same time. I watched "I Love Lucy" daily, on KTTV channel 11 in Los Angeles, from a toddler on up. This program and this ensemble profoundly affected me. Desi was so handsome, intelligent and hard working. I am sorry the so- called American dream did 🚫 not work out for Lucy and Desi together. Let light✨🕯️✨🕯️✨🕯️✨🕯️✨ perpetual shine upon Desi, Lucy, Vivian and William, forever in ✝️❤️🛐 heaven.🙏✨🕊️✨🕊️✨🕊️✨🕊️🙏❤
Ricky, Lucy,Fred,Ethel, and little Ricky and Fred the dog are my friends they have been make ng me laugh for years. I started watching I Love Lucy since junior high school and now I'm 67 and still watching.
It makes me cry every time I hear desi sing that song! I love desi
And he own a movie studio yet they give him credit for that he was a genius period we have re run because of him thinking ahead of his time put it on film
Mr. Desi Arnaz created having a live audience whiling filming on TV. Plus, the use of 3 cameras to catch the action of the actors. He made Desilu Productions happen. He was in the same category as Jack Warner, Louis B. Mayer, etc.
I find it very hard to believe that the original color videotape of this is missing.
Initially, Desi looked a bit uncomfortable, but when he starts singing, his charm is clear. No matter the corny lyrics or his accent, his song and especially his humorous asides makes one appreciate Desi Arnaz’s impact to American culture.
He was so special.
So...drunk
Great actor too
It's too bad he was such a philandering and drunk! They really loved each other to the end!
No seriously they created or were part creaters of Bacrdi rum in Cuba
In the 90s, Luci Arnaz said that when people see her parents on TV, it shows how her mother is the nice one and her father is the mean one, but in actuality, she was the mean one and her father was the nice attentive one
I wish RUclips could delete each rude , comment . all I'm reading are rude comments .he was proud of both his children because they struggled for yrs to have both Lucy & Desi .the only thing I read of Lucie Jr was on her father's deathbed he and Lucy talked and they said I love you then he passed away .
The smoking and drinking aged him and ultimately hurt his health.
His family created bacardi rum
I enjoyed seeing their kids on 2 different episodes of password.
Lucie was a young lady in this video, but she had an adorable little girl laugh.
I think Lucie has Lucy's facial features
COOL VIDEO ! THURSDAY 4/11/24 APRIL 11, 2024
Matthew Broderick looks like him
Dude was only 53-54 here….why does he look in the 70s?
Wine, women and song😂😂
Look up Chuck missler
Desi looks like he’s skiing.
At least this survives on a low quality tape to film transfer.
Would anyone have the Clara Ward Gospel Singers on the Mike Douglas Show 1966-1972??
💜💜💜💜
Ah sweet.
Thanks for posting!!
I remember watching the week Desi Arnaz co-hosted.He was very good,one of the best co-hosts ever on the show.
