The television sitcom I Love Lucy was based on which 1940s radio comedy?
The Life of Riley
Our Miss Brooks
My Favorite Husband
Take It or Leave It
Fact: Before she played Lucy Ricardo, Lucille Ball starred as Liz in My Favorite Husband, a CBS radio comedy that ran from 1948 to 1951. Richard Denning played her husband, George, and the show found humor in the couple’s everyday married life. When CBS considered adapting the radio hit for television, Ball wanted her real-life husband, Desi Arnaz, to co-star. The result was I Love Lucy, with Ball as Lucy Ricardo, and Arnaz as Ricky Ricardo, a nightclub bandleader. It premiered on October 15, 1951, the year My Favorite Husband ended.
Correct Answer: My Favorite Husband
