9. Laughter is the best medicine

“Lucy Does the Tango” (1957) was a special episode for a pretty amusing reason. While audiences had come to expect crazy and hilarious antics from the cast, when Lucy concealed dozens of eggs in her blouse and proceeded to tango with Ricky, which of course led to crushed eggs and yolk everywhere, the audience laughed for sixty-five seconds! It was so much laughter in fact, that some of it had to be edited out of the final film. What really sold the scene was that neither Ball nor Arnaz had rehearsed with the eggs, so their side-splitting reactions were all real.
