Lucille Ball has to be the best female TV comedian. She played the part of Lucille Ricardo for six seasons on the American sitcom, “I Love Lucy.” The show was a hit and was so popular that it was rated number one for three seasons. It was also the first ever show to end on a high, after being the most watched in 1957, the year it ended.
“I Love Lucy” featured Ball, her husband, Desi Anaz, and two other characters. They concocted half-brained schemes that had their audience dying with laughter. Ball and her husband introduced the now-famous idea of earning from reruns after earning $17 million per year for three decades.
