There was no one like Lucy!

There’s a quote of hers that I’ve always loved: “I guess I would rather regret the things I’ve done than to regret the things I’ve never done.”

“Pillow Squawk”

Another sketch that was fun to do was our takeoff on the Doris Day/Rock Hudson movies of the late fifties and early sixties, such as Pillow Talk, produced by Ross Hunter. This particular sketch was a spoof on the genre, not the specific movie. We called our version “Pillow Squawk”!

I was the perennial blond freckle-faced squeaky-clean virginal-type character that Doris played in these films, and Lyle was the handsome playboy bachelor and ladies’ man (à la Rock Hudson).

The plot: Doris is fresh off the farm and has traveled, with her teddy bear, to the big city to find fame and fortune. Innocent as the driven snow, she is shown into a penthouse apartment by the snooty manager of the building (Harvey), who explains that she’ll be “babysitting” the apartment while the playboy owner is out of town. All she has to do is make sure his electric toothbrush is fully charged. Doris is thrilled, and excitedly bounces and twirls around the apartment shouting “Gloriosky Zero!” and “Jumpin’ Jehosaphat!” while the manager looks at her with disdain.

MANAGER: (Anxious to get away from this ding-a-ling) “I’ll help you with your bags.”

DORIS: “Oh, be careful with the big one!”

MANAGER: “What’s in it?”

DORIS: “Extra freckles!”
