    • Trivia
      Some stars mentioned in the opening credits by the announcer as "starring" do not actually appear in new tributes, but only in archival footage. Those stars include: Patty Andrews, Jack Benny (died 1974), Ken Berry, John Bubbles, George Burns, William Holden, Harpo Marx (died 1964), and Wayne Newton.
    • Goofs
      Desi Arnaz mistakenly calls a clip from "The Audition" (S1;E6) of "I Love Lucy" the pilot. The unaired (and considered lost) pilot contained the same vaudeville act that Lucy and Desi toured the country. It was recreated again for "The Audition."
    • Quotes

      Danny Kaye: Saying Lucille Ball is 'just' a comedian is like saying Margot Fonteyn is 'just' a dancer.

    • Alternate versions
