This one time, she's on my show, and we have a dinner break before the orchestra rehearsal, so she and I went over to the farmer's market to have, so we were in the Chinese restaurant there, and she's knocking back a couple of whiskey sours.

No, it was a nighttime show.

So at that time, of course, my husband, Joe Hamilton, was executive, was producing our show. And so she now was not with Desi. She said, you know, kid, it's great that you got Joe, you know, to handle a lot of stuff for you because when I was married to the Cuban... Like he's a cigar.

Yeah. And she said, when I came into the Monday morning, you know, the table read, everything was perfect because he had seen to it. And all I had to do is be crazy Lucy, you know, fine. So then we got a divorce. Now I'm going to do the Lucy Karma, whatever it was. And I came in, no Desi, and we read the script and she said, it was awful. Kid, it stank.

And I told them in no uncertain terms how I felt about the script, how we had to fix it.

On my birthday, and this one birthday, I got up in the morning and turned on the Today Show, and she had passed away on my birthday. And that afternoon, I got flowers that said, Happy Birthday, Kid. Yeah. So we had a great bond.
