Lucy suggests getting Carol Burnett to appear. They go to a taping of her show, and during the question and answer session, Lucy persuades Carol to do the benefit.
Special Notes: Most of this episode is the musical show put on as a fundraiser. Lucy's singing is dubbed by Carole Cooke, and everyone's singing is prerecorded. This is the first opportunity for Lucie and Desi to display their singing and dancing talents on the series. Lucie especially shows a flare for the presentational, Broadway style of performing. Carol Burnett makes several appearances on this series throughout the years; and all episodes are entitled "Lucy and Carol Burnett" although this is episode is also known as "Lucy and the New School Gym".
