“If the public likes you, they pay you a lot; if you displease the public, you’re out of business-and we try not to displease even a small percentage of the audience of I Love Lucy. For instance, we don’t use a cross-eyed joke because, although it might seem funny to ninety percent of the audience, we’d hurt the tiny group of watchers who are cross-eyed.”—Desi Arnaz, ‘The Real Story of Lucille Ball’ by Eleanor Harris #lucilleball #desiarnaz #crosseyed #badjokes #audience #ilovelucy #considerate #consideration #displeasure #aimtoplease https://www.instagram.com/p/CFKcYX2ni78/?igshid=25rk1rohyzvb
