I Was Watching I Love Lucy Today
Johnny Longden - Guest
During the 1956-57 season of I Love Lucy, Longden portrayed himself in the episode entitled "Lucy And The Loving Cup." Desi Arnaz as "Ricky" awarded the cup to Longdon but it was attached to Lucy's head which made for quite a presentation. Earlier in the day, Lucy unfortunately put the cup over her head as a joke but it got stuck and she was unable to remove it.
