Enjoy this much-needed dose of nostalgia when Lucille Ball receives a surprise during The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.

Lucille Ball made a name for herself as the title character on the sitcom, I Love Lucy. Week after week, we followed along as Lucy got herself into the silliest situations along with her husband, Ricky, and neighbors Fred and Ethel.

This beloved show became a staple program for so many and cemented Lucille’s place in history. Following the success of I Love Lucy, Lucille starred in a series of other shows and formed the wildly successful Desilu Productions.

Even decades later, she is still remembered as one of the most iconic names in Hollywood with numerous awards and honors.

Today, we’re taking a look back at a 1974 interview with Lucille Ball on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. In this classic clip, Lucille speaks about her family and two children. At the time, her kids were grown and on their own.

That’s why it was such a welcome surprise when her son, Desi Arnaz Jr. showed up on the set. The smile on Lucille’s face says it all as she lights up seeing her son in person.

The sweet clip has been viewed over a million times already and the number is growing. One viewer wrote, “And all of these years later we still love Lucy.” Another said, “Stars like Lucille Ball will never be duplicated.”

All of these legendary stars in one room is just what I needed to see today.
