Original Air Date:

This Week’s WTFacts:

• After “Babalu,” Ricky points to a group of 3 deadpan executives. On the far left is Jess Oppenheimer, the creator, producer, and head writer of I Love Lucy. Harry Ackerman (Vice-President of CBS at the time) sits in the middle. Hal Hudson, who sits to the far right, was a writer/producer who worked on The Red Skelton Hour.

• This episode is based, almost word for word, on the once-lost I Love Lucy pilot.

• Lucy and Ricky share a double bed in this episode. Lucy never gets in it, but still! #scandalous
