Throwback Thursday Comedy Special: Milton Berle Plays Auntie Mildred on the Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour


Today is another Throwback Thursday and we're riding the nostalgia train back to September 1959 for a clip from Episode 1 in the third season of the Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour, a spinoff from I Love Lucy.

In this episode, in order to get Milton Berle to perform at a benefit at Little Ricky's school, Lucy uses Ricky's name to spark his attention. When Ricky catches her, Lucy must act in secret and decides to visit Mr. Berle's office. 

At the office, she overhears Milton's agent saying that Mr. Berle needs a secluded place to work on his new book. After discussion, Milton's agent suggest he write his new book at Lucy's farmhouse. Later, when Fred catches a "mysterious man" visiting Lucy while Ricky is at work, Ricky becomes furious.

Enjoy!
