This is a listing of guest stars who have appeared with Lucy on a TV. My definition of guest star, though, is someone who appeared on a television show as themself or a character normally portrayed on their own show. For instance, I count Carol Burnett because she appeared as herself, and I also count Jack Benny because he appeared as "Jack Benny," the character he portrayed on his television show. (For those of you who don't know: Jack Benny was not a mean, egotistical, skinflint. In fact, just the opposite.) The listings are in this order: Guest star's name, guest star's birth and death (if they're dead) dates and then the show's name, episode and air date. Enjoy! If you know of a guest I missed, tell me at swing4243@yahoo.com.
