I Love Lucy! Peggy's (Janet Waldo) Secret on I Love Lucy episode (Young Fans) REVEALED!

[@Vejur9000]

I love Janet Waldo, what a magical voice. She was as pretty as her voice.

[@robynsmith3276]

Love learning behind the scenes facts! Thank you! 😊

[@denisecaringer4726]

Tx for this - and for your always-upbeat attitude.

[@Curtiz2008]

Janet Waldo was a major performer on radio, appearing in numerous programs. She was such a delightful presence on these shows.

[@skdkoc]

great! love your vids!! rob

[@VIDEOHEREBOB]

Thanks Rick

[@Dec4AllTimeAlways]

Janet was only 2 years younger than Desi in real life but portrays a teenager.

[@LTM8689]

Great work, Rick!,

[@DaddyOfTheSugarVariety]

Your videos always make me smile. :)

[@lorrainemckinley4048]

Thanks Rick! Watched these episodes many times since the sixties, now I have all the DVDs, who knew👍🏻

[@leebrown1959]

Fascinating Rick!

[@stephanibaldwin281]

Cool Rick!!

[@jubalcalif9100]

Amazing that Janet Waldo not only plays a teenager at the age of 33 but is also believable ! All these years I thought she was younger ! I think she & Dick Crenna were believable as teens thanks to them using high pitched voices & of course having very young looking faces ! Thanx for uploading this wonderfully entertaining & informative video ! And also did NOT know she was pregnant when appearing in this "I Love Lucy" episode. Good job ! Kudos ! :-)

[@michaelcolletti790]

I was always fascinated by this episode because of the guest stars. Thanks so much for the info and for all of your videos. Excellent!

[@ricknineg]

You’re the best Michael! Thank you

Keep jiggling Peggy! I love that line from Old Ricky!

Who knew?? This was one of my favorite episodes..

[@jsmurd]

In addition to the Keep Jiggling line, I always loved seeing the Toaster shoot out a piece of toast into the air. It always makes me laugh!

[@GeneJenkins]

Another triumph! I never heard this story! Well done and thx again Rick!

[@kathrynleogrande3539]

Enjoying your videos and tidbits on the episodes. Huge I Love Lucy fan. Just ordered the complete set of dvds to watch while practicing "shelter at home".

[@fromthesidelines]

At the time, Janet was "Corliss Archer" on radio (in "MEET CORLISS ARCHER"), and Dick Crenna was "Walter Denton" on "OUR MISS BROOKS" (both radio and TV editions).

According to Wikipedia Janet had 2 children. One born in 1952 and the other in 1956.

As an early fan of yours Rick I am very happy to see that you have reached over 75000 subscribers. I hope you get more soon.

Great secret, Rick.

[@lisahorsepony]

I had no idea that Janet Waldo was pregnant either. Lucy and Desi were very professional throughout the filming and production. What fun they must have had! I can also see that it could be intimidating as well but they pulled it off. Thanks Rick for another informative video.

Wow! I love how you explain the history and backstory of this episode! One of my fave episodes :):)

[@ViperJay5]

I never realized that was Judy Jetson!! As many times as I've seen this episode, I just learned something new today!

[@willmack5909]

And on another "I Love Lucy" episode, I forget which one now, the man who voiced her father George Jetson appeared as well. Glad you learned something new Viper Jay 5! :)

[@ViperJay5]

I sure did! And George O'Hanlon was on an episode too? I think I remember that, but just barely. Wasn't he on one of the episodes around the Superman episode, where Lucy gets caught on the outside ledge after going out her apartment window?

[@ViperJay5]

And another fun fact that I didn't know until just recently, but I share a birthday with Fred Mertz aka William Frawley along with Jackie Gleason!

I just read (from Wikipedia) that she also played Lucy Carmichael's sister on the Lucy Show for an episode.

The most impressive and legendary career though was that of director, producer and actor Dick Crenna. He did it all in TV for 73 years.

[@deborahoskwarek1059]

Rick, I love your incites on I Love Lucy. I've noticed that 3 now, maybe more episodes have the toast flying thru the air and that either Lucy or Ricky catches it. It's so clever. I wonder how they did that and I've seen her catch it without looking. Any more information on this? Thank you for the great content!! Brightens my day!

Good morning Rick...I trust this finds you and your loved ones safe and well. Thanks for this video...as always a home run of smiles for us. BTW - the YT channel "Yesterday Today" just uploaded a video with 35 pictures of Lucy and Desi from the 1950s. You most certainly will enjoy it, if you haven't seen it already. They are a great channel too! Congratulations on your ever growing channel.

[@wildforthecats661]

Waldo was only 7.5 years younger than Lucy. She was the voice of many other cartoon characters, besides daughter Judy, the most notable was Penelope Pitstop.

[@portiamatthews9654]

I used to love that show when I was younger. Especially the car Penelope Pitstop drove. I used to say to myself that one day I would get me a car just like that 😂. Well I'm all grown up and I still don't have a car like that 😊. Now that you have me thinking about it. Do you remember on Happy Days, the character The Fonz, had a girlfriend named Pinky Tuscadera and she reminded me of the cartoon character Penelope Pitstop. Because she wore everything pink, styled her hair like Penelope, and everything else. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts.

[@mrsheatherteske]

Wow what a great job making her look much younger

[@mariec4275]

Wildforthecats If Janet was only 24 in this episode, like the narrator says, she was actually about 17 younger than Lucy. Lucy was born in 1911 and was about 40 when she began filming I love Lucy. In this episode she was 41

[@wildforthecats661]

joanne Chew Waldo was born in 1919.

[@mariec4275]

Wildforthecats I read 1924, but also saw 1919. Didn’t the narrator say Janet was only 24 in this episode or did I hear that wrong. Maybe I did....

[@thomasschreiber1028]

Janet Waldo was 33 when this episode aired.

[@janedoe805]

Janet Waldo was 33 years old when she was playing a teenager which is remarkable in itself! By the way, she was pregnant with her son Jonathan during this episode she had a daughter a couple of years later. I had no idea she was the voice of Judy Jetson! Furthermore I didn’t know that was Richard Crenna and when you mentioned Rambo I nearly fell off my chair I was in stitches. Because I do remember his squeaky voice during this episode it was so funny! I kept imagining him in the Rambo movie but with the squeaky teenage voice. Seriously, you have the most interesting stories on old TV. Thanks again Rick for another great video! ♥️👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@christopherkraft1327]

Keep Jigglin Peggy!!! Thanks Rick for a fun Sunday treat. I had no idea that she was going to have a baby! I learned a new fact today. I'm doing well, I'm staying home but I'm lucky since I don't have to worry about a job or unemployment. I hope that you & your family are doing well & remain healthy! ☺🖖

[@deborahleroy5323]

I never knew that either.

[@mkidd8806]

Another bit of trivia. Richard Crenna played on both radio and tv version of Our Miss Brooks. Also Gail gordon was principal on radio and tv our miss brooks and was in all of the lucy shows. Tight knit group in Hollywood.

[@ricknineg]

Yes, it was mentioned in the video!

[@davidgeary4302]

Gail Gordon was Lucy's choice for Fred Mertz but he was dping My little Margie. I love Gail Gordon but i love Lucy wpuld have been totally different with him. William Frawley was perfect.

[@MRKEVIN769]

I did not know Richard Crenna played Corn Troutman in Rambo

[@davest123va]

Another episode without Vivian Vance was Lucy Does a TV Commercial (Vitametavegamin). I wonder why not?

[@MsBackstager]

Girdles, back then, could cover all pregnancy hurdles. Remember Shirley Jones in the movie THE MUSIC MAN? She was 8 months pregnant and no one knew (other than the costume people). But Robert Preston figured it out when they were hugging and the baby kicked him.

I have a question about I Love Lucy. I have been looking for a complete DVD set of the full series in color. Is there a such thing?

[@tonycevallos7513]

One of my favorite episodes "Keep jiggling Peggy,keep jiggling" I was about 14 in my hood and I remember sitting on my fromnt porch with my homeboys about 1972 when KTTV Channel 11 in Los Angeles aired an episode every night at 7PM. Were on the porch and I tell one of myt friends "Keep jiggling" and all of a sudden it became a short fad after that. We'd be at school in the classroom sayng "Keep jiggling Peggy" Good old memory.

[@msviv3122]

Did anyone check to see if the Yankees were playing when this was filmed? I'm guessing that's why Fred wasn't there LOL

[@staciebonner4669]

I didn't know that Janet was the voice of Judy Jetson and pregnant in this episode and about Richard Crenna ! Your channel brings out a lot of things we didn't know.

[@alanm5090]

I always thought this was one of the weirdest episodes of the series, maybe because fred and Ethel were not there, great job ,on another great video !🤔👍👍

[@carag5041]

Wow would have had no idea she was pregnant by just looking. Also didn `t realize the young man was Richard Crenna. He`s so young here! Hope all is well with you Rick

[@roberttelarket4934]

Janet just passed away a few years ago.

[@ginerzinwonderland]

The first time I saw this episode, I actually that they were actual teenagers when it was filmed, lol 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@mrssmurf55]

Wow you would have never guessed she was pregnant!

[@miketype1each]

You mention that performing on I Love Lucy was a one-take operation. Desi worked it out with the producers to shoot the show with movie film. The deal was that he paid for it, and because of that, he also kept it, thereby securing ownership of the episodes. You may have mentioned this before, but it came to mind. So, it makes sense that they wanted every take to be a good one, because even then, movie film was expensive.

[@mrsehj]

Janet Waldo was 2 years younger than Desi in this episode, playing a teenager at 33 years old, So Many shows and movies had much older people playing teenagers through the years. Bing Crosby gave her her break in show biz. She voiced lots of cartoon characters and always had a "Kid" voice. Janet Waldo lived to 97 years old. she was born just a few miles from my home town, !

[@davidpruiksma8014]

I knew Janet was pregnant. I knew her for some years and she told me. 😊

Janet Waldo named her daughter Lucy.

This episode is one of my least favourite and I didn’t know why. You just gave me the answer: The Mertzes were not there. To me, that brilliant show needs all four main characters to work. Just my personal opinion.

That’s interesting, because this is one of my favorites! Maybe because they weren’t in it, it was different.🤷‍♀️. And The “kids” were a riot.

Rick - I think I just made a discovery. Not about I Love Lucy, but I started watching Laverne and Shirley Season 1 episode 13. Lenny and Squiggy had the exact bunk bed from boys room on The Brady Bunch. I wonder if it was the exact bed?

[@AmericanActionReport]

My biggest surprise is the timelessness of the characters and the show itself; it's more relevant to us today than many of the more recent programs on television. To underscore this point, it's hard to believe that the young, pretty, vivacious Janet Waldo died four years ago at the age of 96. May Janet Waldo, Richard Crenna, and the cast of "I Love Lucy" rest in peace.

[@MsSweetpea1958]

I wouldn't have thought that Rick. Lucy having problems with miscarriage herself would be cautious for her.
