4. Which was the last "I Love Lucy" episode?

Answer: The Ricardos Dedicate a Statue

At the end of their fifth season, Desi realized that he wanted no part in a half hour weekly series, despite "I Love Lucy" being the top program. So Desi then did the next best thing, using the same characters, he filmed hour long shows airing once a month instead of once a week.

5. In the episode #153, "Return Home From Europe", what is the name of Lucy's "baby" on the plane?

Answer: Chester

Lucy wants to bring back a giant loaf of Italian cheese to her mother. So with there being a charge for excess luggage, she disguises the cheese as a baby. She later finds out that there is also a charge for babies on the plane so she and Ethel eat half of the cheese and stuff the rest in Ricky's band's instruments.

6. In episode #50, "Lucy is Enciente", what word does Lucy use to describe how she is feeling?

Answer: Dauncey

At the beginning of the episode Lucy tells Ethel she is on her way to the doctor because she is feeling "Dauncey". Ethel asks "Dauncey"? "That's a word my grandmother made up for when you're not really sick but you just feel lousy", says Lucy. She goes on describing her symptoms and Ethel suggests that she might be having a baby. "A baby?" Lucy asks. "Yes, baby", Ethel says, "That's a word my grandma made up for tiny little people!".

7. Who is the "I Love Lucy" sponsor?

Answer: Philip Morris

Lucy was occasionally caught on film holding a pack of Philip Morris cigarettes.

8. Vivian Vance and William Frawley were very close off set.

Answer: False

The two didn't even speak off set unless they were talking stage directions and such. They often called each other nasty names and Vivian would even look through her script when she got it to see if she had to be in a scene alone with him.

9. What term did the cast have to use on the show instead of "pregnant"?

Answer: Expecting

When Desi announced that Lucy was having her second child, the couple thought it was the end of the show. However, the producers thought differently. CBS was concerned, however after getting the scripts approved by a priest, rabbi and a minister, everything seemed to work out well. CBS just refused to allow the word "pregnant" be used at all in any episodes. "Lucy Goes to the Hospital" aired and 44 million people tuned in to witness the birth of Little Ricky.

More people tuned in for that than the inauguration of President Dwight Eisenhower.

10. "I Love Lucy" was so popular that department stores actually changed their late night shopping night from Monday to Thursday.

Answer: True

11. Which was the last "Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour" aired?

Answer: "Lucy Meets the Moustache"

This episode was filmed in March of 1960 and would make the last time Lucy and Desi would work together. Desi spoke of the show in a very touching way. "Doing that last show was not easy. We knew it was the last time we would be Lucy and Ricky. As fate would have it, the very last scene in the story called for a long clinch and kiss and make up ending....This was not just an ordinary kiss for a scene in a show.

It was a kiss that would wrap up 20 years of love and friendship, triumphs and failures, ecstasy and sex, jealousy and regrets, heartbreaks and laughter - and tears."

12. In the "Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour", #12, "The Ricardos Go to Japan", what is the name of the guest star?

Answer: Robert Cummings

13. In "I Love Lucy" episode "The Ricardos Visit Cuba", what was Ricky's uncle's name that Lucy was trying so hard to impress?

14. In episode #154, "Lucy Meets Bob Hope", what city was New York playing against at the baseball stadium where she met him?

Answer: Cleveland

15. What year did Lucille Ball pass away?

Answer: 1989

Billboards across America read "Heaven needed a laugh!"
