Trivia
This special aired on a Saturday evening at 10pm. Its lead in was the season five premiere of the phenomenally successful "The Golden Girls" (also featuring Betty White) which led the evening with a 23.5 share. "Bob Hope's Love Affair With Lucy" came in second, with a respectable 19.3. It was up against College Football on ABC. Because the special was 90 minutes and started on the half hour, its competition on CBS was the last half hour of "Tour of Duty" (season three premiere) and the series premiere of "Saturday Night With Connie Chung."

Goofs
During the sketch between Hope and Ball from "The Bob Hope Show" (September 24, 1962) the pair keep breaking each other up with laughter.

Quotes
Himself - Host: Lucy handled the media and television like she handled everything else, with grace and style and a richness of color that didn't need any help from the peacock.
