I was in the audience for this. I was a freshman on an acting scholarship in San Diego and the school announced there were tickets available for students to go on a bus to LA to see the Tonight Show. Little did we know Lucille Ball would be a guest. Hard to be star-struck these days but she was a true star and we were so happy and struck to see one of the brightest stars. Dr. Ruth Westheimer and Steven Wright were also guests. First time away at college, first semester, 18 years old....what an amazing unforgettable way to start off your new chapter in life as a young kid to see the biggest legend you grew up watching on TV.

Every celebrity of today needs to use this as a training video on how to conduct yourself in an interview. Lucy here displays pure class, elegance, humility and doesn’t let herself become bigger than show itself. Something extremely lacking with today’s celebrities.

I think what’s most jolting sometimes is how different some of these people are off-camera just their whole persona changes. It may not even be in a bad way but just sometimes a gregarious person seems more quiet and shy such as Johnny Carson. But they certainly have a special something on camera that lead to their great success.

Lucy just taught us how to make an entrance and how to know when and how to make a graceful exit. I've never seen anyone exit a talk show like that but it was amazing.

When she stops and stands looking at the audience putting her hand to her mouth. What absolute grace, it had me tearing up. I have always watched Lucy since I was a child. What beauty. I wish I was an iota of her comedy, her grace. Thank you, Lucille Ball, for always being true to yourself and inspiring all of us.

"I Love Lucy" all happened before I was born but as a kid, I watched all of the reruns. I didn't even realize they were reruns at the time because I didn't even know what a rerun was. I LOVED Lucy, even as a kid. I just thought she was so funny but also just an amazing woman. Later I saw her on The Tonight Show and other live shows and I was like....whoa....when did she get so old. Then I knew. But honestly, I just thought she was such a fantastic woman because she wasn't afraid of anything or anyone, she didn't hold back, she answered you sincerely and confidently and she did not care what you thought about her. What a treasure she was. All of those people who got to watch "I Love Lucy" live, consider yourselves lucky that you got to see it all when it was brand new, when Lucy was still young. She was so talented and just a beautiful soul. I miss her very much and wish she had lived a lot longer. She deserved it. At least we can still see her on KZread. RIP, Miss Mcgillicuddy.

Oh I remember “Stone Pillow”! I was 8 and I remember going to bed crying and praying that God would help the homeless. I knew then I wanted to work with the disadvantaged, and my local soup kitchen is and always has been the one charity I never miss at Christmas. This woman was iconic. I remember when she died. She is still the queen of TV. If you look at ratings, Lucille Ball was in the top 10 Nielsen ratings, consistently in the 50’s, 60’s, & 70’s. It wasn’t until she tried again in the 80’s that it didn’t work for her. Sadly, but, one could always say that by then she had set the standard.

All these years later and I still love Lucy. She was a gem.

She was right about no one recognizing her when she was on set for “Stone Pillow”. Fresh out of college, I spent three days trying to track her down for an autographed photo for a friend, and when a PA pointed her out to me (she and Gary Morton were admiring high-end jewelry in a window display) I didn’t recognize her myself. She signed the photo (and barked at me for not holding the photo up hard enough for her, which I LOVED), which I still have to this day.

I was walking down second Avenue one evening and there was movie equipment all over the streets not an unusual sight in Manhattan at any time. So I stopped and asked my usual question at one of the tech guys, is this a movie or a TV show? He said it was a movie for TV. So I asked my max question that I always ask who is in it? He said Lucille Ball. I said really, He said yeah she’s sitting over there. Sure enough like she says in the interview was dressed in a costume of a bag lady and was sitting in one of those movie chairs with the canvas back smoking a cigarette. So I went over said hello and chatted for a little bit and she was good enough to give me an autograph. When I saw this clip on KZread from 1985 it got me wondering and sure enough she talked about making the movie.... Was fun meeting her. How can you not love Lucy.

@@Michelle-pn9xtObjection…Missy did not indicate or imply that she was the only person alive at that time, just that she was seemingly honored to be alive at the same time as such greatness. I move to strike Michele’s comment as irrelevant, sarcastic, cynical, insensitive, and downright rude.

calm down she was just a commedian.

My memories of Lucy are as a child when staying home sick from school and watching reruns of I Love Lucy and, in my opinion, the greater The Lucy Show, with the legend, Gale Gordon, along with Viv. And then, Mister Ed.

I got emotional when she came out on stage. I love her!

Now THIS IS A STAR. When she just decides it's time to leave at 10:38 BEFORE the commercial break - that is just total BOSSDOM! Ane how she acknowledges the fans both entering and exiting... They just dpn't make them like that anymore.

She's the best!!

Lucille and my mother were the same age and my mother looked like her, minus the red hair. Lucy always reminds me of my mum. RIP both of them.

She also was a fierce businesswoman and got what she wanted. I loved her and her sarcastic sense of humor. She and Desi were great creators in television and changed the way sets were created and scenes were filmed. Their use of the laugh track was clever and their show became timeless. A classic.

Do stars even bow and show such gratitude for their fans like that anymore???

There is no one more talented than Lucy , her shows still hold up, if anything now they take you back to a world we all desire. But even on this tonight show she is an amazing woman, mogul, mother, comediene, and a force to be reckoned with.....love lucy

Best interview ever, Lucy is so honest!

Two really great stars having a wonderful moment together ❤

LEGEND! I adore this woman. I do believe I Love Lucy is the greatest sitcom of all time. Im 44 and have seen ever episode countless times. It still never gets old. Anytime I am sick, or down...Watching episodes of I.L.L. just lifts my spirits. And she was right...you can't top it, so why even try.

Too bad Patrick Steward didn't follow up and went with the "Picard" remake...

An incredible talent and a performer we will love forever.

When I was in college in the '80s, one of my part-time jobs was as a chauffeur. I was fortunate to have driven (around Boston area) celebrities such as Gene Wilder, Gilda RAdner, 'The Cars', cast of 'Amadeus' (Tom Hulce, F. Murray Abrams, and some other actors I don't remember). The last celebrity I had was Lucille Ball. I grew up and adored 'I Love Lucy' reruns, and watched 'Here's Lucy' on CBS on Monday nights (Boston). I especially loved when Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton starred in an episode during the 2nd marriage for Liz and Richard when he gave her a humungous diamond ring. I even enjoyed Lucille Ball and Bea Arthur in a remake of 'Mame' in the early '70s, even though the movie was panned and got horrible reviews. Lucille Ball was a tough broad, a savvy business woman, and a comedic genius . Also I was a big fan of Vivian Vance who had an amazing career outside of co-starring in a lot of "Lucy" sitcoms over the years. She was an established vaudeville and stage/play actress before she even starred in 'I love lucy', appearing in hundreds of plays before and after. I am so glad that Lucy made up with Vivian who Lucy didn't speak to for a number of years after Vivian left her show. Lucy saw this move as a betrayal while Vivian just wanted out from all the "Lucy" shows after sticking with Lucy for a number of sitcoms starting with of course "I Love Lucy'. She wanted to explore other material, especially going back to the Broadway stage in a number of success shows. But throughout the '70s, Vivian suffered terribly from breast cancer and then bone cancer and was living in the SF Bay Area. Lucy did fly up to see Vivian a day or so before she died and they made amends with lots of laughter and tears I read. Lucille Ball in my experience spending a few hours with her as her driver seemed tough, acerbic, and a person who holds on to grudges. So, I am so glad that she reunited with Vivian at the very end of Vance's life.

Class act. Grew up watching Lucy. Love her!!

Lucille Ball ... a true professional .... and a perfectionist in her acting

Man, I Love Lucy was my whole childhood. She was everything. Still is. What a classy old broad!!!

When celebrities were revered for the right thing.. talent.

Lucille Ball put Star Trek on the map. She believed in the show even though she lost money. It cost her her studio. Her pockets weren't deep enough to handle it, but over the long term it paid. So hat's off and thanks.

I'm now watching the I Love Lucy series once again, making it probably the 10th time over 50 years & still laugh so hard I almost cry on some of the skits. It's hard to believe how absolutely funny the (4) of them together were.

You're right. Desilu also brought us , Andy Griffith, and MISSION IMPOSSIBLE. That blockbuster movie franchise has Desilu to thank. Desi Arnaz was actually the genius behind it. He developed the concept of filiming in front of a live audience, His ideas on use of multiple cameras and set design are used today on sitcoms with studio audiences. Brilliant they were.

She was also a very capable business woman ,hard worker who demanded people work as hard as she did. She was a very intelligent woman who knew her fans and her craft.

I would watch Lucy in any interviews or shows of any kind. What you have is not only a great actress and comedian, but a first woman CEO of a studio in Hollywood……nobody’s done it since. She’s wildly talented and very very smart, just listen to how she handles herself. I love Lucy ❤️ Both of them, the character and the real woman!!
