Dean Martin
Desi Arnaz
Tom Bosley
John Amos
In 1953, Desi Arnaz Jr., the firstborn son of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, appeared on the inaugural cover of “TV Guide.” To coincide with the birth, “I Love Lucy” featured a season-long storyline covering the pregnancy, which culminated in the January 19, 1953, episode, “Lucy Goes to the Hospital.” The episode was viewed by more people than any other TV program in history up to that time — around 68% of American households watched.
The correct answer to this quiz is Desi Arnaz.
