On this date in 1955, I Love Lucy aired the episode entitled, simply, "Harpo Marx".
The Ricardos and the Mertzs are in Hollywood for an extended stay while Ricky films his movie, "Don Juan". Lucy's been writing home telling her friends about ALL the celebrities she's been meeting and spending time with. One of the friends just happens to be in the area and wants to visit and meet some of those celebrities. This friend just happens to have very poor eyesight and Lucy and Ethel hide her glasses from here. The Lucy keeps putting on costumes and dressing up as various celebrities and meeting her friend. It just so happens that when Lucy is dressed up as Harpo Marx, the REAL Harpo shows up! Lucy and he ended up doing a synchronized, symmetrical mirror routine.
I'm not a huge fan of some of the Lucy Meets Celebrity X shows, some are pretty contrived and don't really work. This one however does work. It's quite funny.
