Remembering Buddy Hackett who passed away 17 years ago (June 30th). Buddy was a guest on 'The Lucy Show' episode "Lucy And The Stolen Stole" and again two years later on 'Here's Lucy', "Lucy And Sammy Davis Jr." The latter appearance was a cameo that was taped but was cut from syndication and has since been lost. All that remains is this behind the scenes footage of Buddy on the set the day before the final taping in which he tells a joke to fellow cast members. "Buddy Hackett, after completing his performance, saw a Jeep on the lot and asked Gary if he could have one. You know how Hackett can appeal in that little-boy voice; it's hard to resist him. We couldn't, and he got the Jeep. But only after the show."—Howard Rafiel, 'Where The Hell Is Desilu?' #lucilleball #buddyhackett #thelucyshow #hereslucy #behindthescenes #joketeller #jokes #desilu #myfavoriteredhead #sammydavisjr #cameo #cuttingroomfloor #jeep #garymorton https://www.instagram.com/p/CCd99vznmLE/?igshid=7oxn43f25mzc
