[@timharper3390]

She was absolutely beautiful and an absolute brilliant comedic actress, plus a fantastic businesswoman who thankfully gave us hundreds of hours of joyful entertainment. Was she funny? Yes! And no. Watch her interviews with Cavett or Carson. She’s not “off the cuff” funny. She isn’t quick with a funny line or an entertaining storyteller. She was indeed a great actress. So great in fact, that after 4(?) sitcoms, we tend to think of her as The Queen of Comedy. She deserves every accolade for ILL, and the development of television as we know it, and for all the great business decisions made at Desilu. But she isn’t a “funny” woman. She used perfect timing with splendid physical comic ability and fantastic facial expressions to give us hours and hours of laughs and “perfect” television, no doubt, but she was not a “funny” person. She was a great Actress. Mr Gordon was correct, Viv and Carol truly were, as comediennes, funnier than our beloved Lucy. I don’t intend this as a negative slam on Ms Ball. She was, and is, the greatest. But that’s acting ability, not exactly the same as comic ability. After that diatribe- I do in fact Love Lucy

I think they were generous and kind people. But they still had sexual comments constantly laced throughout their talks. Could they have done more to stop the immoral landslide of entertainment? They may have held it back some, but they also contributed to it. They were entertainment world influencers. How did they influence the direction of immorality/morality? .

But as I speak to you now her time is up, Render hand of favour with Anything you can afford or give to these motherless foundation (Godstime MOTHERLESS FOUNDATION) in kebbi state Nigeria before 2DAYS with faith, as I Rise my hands towards heaven and pray for you they shall serve as point of contact wherever you are, you will receive double portion of grace to excel and total restoration of breakthrough in your life and in the life of your family. Ask for their acct details and help them call the MD in charge of the orphanage to get their details on (WhatsApp or call them now on [phone]) tell him I sent you. For it is not by might nor by in power but of the spirit saith the lord (zechariah 4:6). You shall testify to the Glory of God in your life. God bless you in Jesus name

Loved watching these as a kid, they were great! Especially liked Foster Brooks in this one!, he had me laughing all the way through. Really had me laughing hard when he was looking at Lucille and called her “Luce”, then he instantly turned and looked at Dean and said, that’s what the football team called her. Hahahahaha he’s a riot. Totie Fields killed it too! Good times.

Technically the "roast" was videotaped in 1974 (I'm guessing a few weeks before Benny passed away), but it wasn't broadcast until February 1975.

This was so good and they all had fun and joked with each other expertly without a single swear word. Thats comedy genius really.

It doesn’t make you a prude to not want to hear foul language. Most often it’s not needed. ~Jesus IS LORD~. John 3:16

Yes indeed, something many of us forgot how to do. What's more their jokes weren't exactly PG jokes many of them were x rated but they knew how to deliver them with class and by using the imagination, also showing that the old timers themselves were not prudes either. The jokes were for adults but delivered without being crass or vulgar.
