Mr Keith remembers it that Desi is the one who first called him their little Ricky, but I’m sure after hearing him on the drums, Lucy and everyone else agreed. Amazing God-given talent for one so young!👏❤️

[@josephjohnson8520]

Keith turned into a great successful man. He was amazing as Little Ricky on I Love Lucy. Glad to see him doing good.

[@Goodwillwinoverevil1984]

He was so adorable in I Love Lucy!

[@justinepurdham7128]

So happy to hear Keith turned out a well adjusted adult, not like so many other child actors that had so many problems in life. God Bless him and his family! ❤

[@Goodwillwinoverevil1984]

I wonder what is the difference between him and other child stars?

[@celestevance5259]

@@Goodwillwinoverevil1984 the fact that he's now a born-again Christian helps!

[@marlo1942]

Thank you for the update on "Little Ricky." One of my favorite Little Ricky episodes is when Ricky and Lucy were trying to hide Little Ricky from the other one. One of my others is when Little Ricky got a puppy but no dogs were allowed in the apartment building... until Fred was told Little Ricky named the puppy after him. I am so delighted he's been living a good life!

[@toshikotanaka3249]

I don't know why but I always thought Little Ricky was played by Lucy & Desi's real son. Weird. I looked it up and saw that two or three kids played Little Ricky at one time or another.

[@maggiegarber246]

The only thing about that dog story was in an earlier year and episode, Lucy had Fred and Ethel over for dinner. Fred brought his dog along (I think his name was Butch ) and fed him under the table. Lucy was trying to diet, and she would disappear under the table in order to get some of Fred’s offerings to the dog.

[@stebaer]

I guess my favorite episode with little Ricky is when he's in the play when he has to suddenly take the lead and Lucy ,Fred,Ricky,and Ethel appear in the play to help him along and he even gets to be helpful in the end too.

[@hudsonboycandleco.8317]

Yes, I agree!!! Love that one!

[@Majestic83]

Wooooooooooooow...i watched him growing up watching "I love Lucy" .... blessings to him and his family ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@kimberlywoolfolk7575]

Happy to hear he's doing well He was so cute!!

[@slomo1716]

What a GREAT STORY about Little Ricky! I had no idea about Keith's back story! My favourite Little Ricky show was when he refused to play his drums. See how GOD and becoming a Christian can straighten out our lives? GOD BLESS Little Ricky and his Family!!!

WOW ❗❗❗❗. That was very interesting. I only knew him as little Ricky. Thank you for sharing the update of his success in life as an actor and drummer.❤️🌺😁

[@thesnackthatsmilesback9717]

It’s crazy cause I know this guy!!! My dad is really good friends with Keith, he is apart of a band called David and the giants, my dad has known all of them since he was a little boy. I guess I never realized what a big deal Keith is. David huff has prayed for my family on multiple occasions. And we will continue to love and cherish all of them!!

Little Ricky was adorable and so talented..

[@sarahcolon-r5r]

My favorite episode was when he performed with Desi in Cuba. They went to visit Ricky's family 😊

[@maddyhayes617]

This post has been very interesting. Thank you for keeping the fans and this senior citizen, and forever I Love Lucy fan, up to date about this very down to earth gentlman.

All our prayers Rickie..🙏🙏🙏

[@robertdragoff6909]

I knew of Keith but didn’t know know his story. There’s an interesting picture in the video that shows Keith with Desi Jr! Neat picture! I am glad to hear that while he had troubles in his past, he’s alive and well in the present. It’s also fun to see him in other TV shows made back in the late 50’s and early 60’s

“ I always name my pets after people I like “ little Ricky & Fred the lil pup , they have my ❤️! I had just watched that episode before watching this video biography of Keith Thibodeaux !!! Love him , he was oodles of cute !

[@linapagliari8003]

Such a talented guy Keith ty for sharing Lucy with us fans😁🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@mariarivera4651]

Love ❤️ watching. I love Lucy💞love all characters 👍

[@FactsVerse]

We're happy to know that you love the show. In your opinion, what is its best episode?

[@mindyteddybear]

I loved when they were all in Mexico and Ricky, little Ricky and Maurice sang the same song in English, Spanish and French. I knew that he played Opie's friend but I never would have recognized him as little Ricky.

[@leonardgriffin714]

Loved all of them. I enjoyed hearing about his life, so many ruin there lives and we read or hear of there terrible demise. I was surprised yet not surprised because I pastor a country church! I was saved the year his daughter was born. So I shouldn't be surprised that it was the gospel message and power of Christ that made the difference in his and his bands lives! Thanks for the bio!! Preacher Leonard Griffin.

[@leesashriber5097]

This was a great and informative upload. Thank you 😊

[@angelaholmes8888]

Wow I'm glad he's doing well in his life 😃

[@scottburton9701]

My favorite "I Love Lucy" episode with Little Ricky was "Lucy Meets Superman".

[@therosarylady]

A wonderful look at this character actor! So happy to see this good outcome 💖

[@corym8358]

He was adorable in every episode. That part was definitely cast well. I think it's cool that he now lives in my home state, Mississippi.

[@earlinewright8796]

All of I Love Lucy are my favorites

[@CajunLady333]

My Daddy and Momma always said he was a Cajun. Of course, that was exciting to Cajun people.

[@missy6597]

I always wondered what happened to him. Thank you for the update

[@dominiquemcclaney128]

Thank you for the upload. I heard how he had a brief time going against substance abuse and how he turned into a Christian. And how he's cleaned up now. He's been clean for a while now. And he's the last living cast member of the I Love Lucy show. He also had a band with Desi Arnaz Jr for a short time also. I didn't know that he was on their Lucy Desi comedy hour. That's nice. I think I heard that him and Lucille were like a actual son and mother in real life. I heard that she gave him nice presents growing up.

[@maddyhayes617]

I wish he had been at the birthday celebration in Jamestown several years ago.

[@fantasyprincessgirl]

He was too cute!

[@captaindj9790]

I’ve played all of David and the Giants music on Christian radio stations throughout the busy years as a radio DJ. I have every LP (Vinyl) record they released

Of course he would be the only living I Love Lucy cast member because he was only a child when he was in I Love Lucy.

w video like all ways

[@tyronekracht461]

George Reeves was NOT the first Superman. That was Kirk Alyn

[@robertdragoff6909]

True, but for most of us, Mr. Reeves was THE Superman…. Like Sean Connery was THE James Bond. And Adam West was THE Batman! And these days, William Shatner….. well, you get the idea…

[@mellopez1859]

Respectfully he did turn out well I'm betting due to Lucy and Desi who seem to have been good parents or at least love for there children, and as said Lucy fell in love with him , I'm sure ! She was a doll , I love Lucy RIP

Keith will never live it down being on the Lucky Show that was an honor.

[@sherrycraig1626]

I’m thrilled that Keith grew up, (1 of the Very few actors/actress), & made something of himself! Him, being a Christian, I’m sure made nonbelievers Listen, since he was ‘Little Rickey!’ He was so handsome, & loved him Playing the drums!! Keith is 7 years Older than I, therefore, we could relive The 60’s & 70’s together! My favorite Episode was ‘Little Rickey wants a Puppy!’ Yes, I remember Keith on ‘The Andy Griffith Show.’ Too.

[@toshikotanaka3249]

Your sentence doesn't make sense. To "never live it down" means to always be reminded of something embarrassing or shameful. Then you say being on the show was a honor.

[@OutsideTheRopes]

Fun fact: The baby Little Ricky was played by twins.

Little Ricky should have been a northern child. In my opinion it should have been a instant turn down for a southern child.

[@fredricardo3272]

Grown up? Isn’t he 70 years old or damn near?

[@robinlillian9471]

All grown up? He's little bit older than your average young adult.

For with the heart man believes to righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made to salvation.”
