S01 E04 “The only thing red about Lucy is her hair, and even that is not legitimate” – Desi Arnaz
Special guest Tom Watson, a friend, fan, and former employee of Lucille Ball and an expert on her life and career, dives into the tumultuous period of the "Red Scare" era in Hollywood and its impact on Lucy's life. He straightens out the wrinkle of history concerning Lucy's brush with accusations of communism, offering a rare peek behind the curtain of her enduring spirit amidst political turmoil. Brad and Tony join in the conversation about the pivotal role of sponsors in shaping the television industry at the time, and how the sponsor of "I Love Lucy" played a crucial part in saving the show from potential cancellation due to political concerns.
Throughout the conversation, the hosts and guest express the joy Lucy brought them and the entire world.
