Scary Clown Saturday

Wow! I was just watching what is called "the very first show" of TV's I LOVE LUCY. It's actually an un-aired pilot that led to the long running sit-com. It seems to have been broadcast live and has the usual crude early TV feel (it was made in 1949 but I've also read the date given as 1951). It's full of the usual antics with Lucy trying to get into show biz but why I'm mentioning it is at one point Desi Arnaz (who sings 3 songs) is showing off some acts for his club. He has a clown named Pepito do his act and man is this guy scary!! I'm glad I wasn't watching it late at night! He made weird noises and spoke in several different voices. Creepy!



He shows up later in the regular series so you've been warned!

Thanks for reading!
