Danny Kaye (The Lucy Show)

Danny Kaye is the hero on the 1964 episode Lucy Meets Danny Kaye from the television series The Lucy Show. In the episode, he saves Lucille "Lucy" Carmichael when she gets in trouble multiple times. He is portrayed by Danny Kaye.

The episode starts with Lucy being disappointed. She had requested tickets for a taping of 'The Danny Kaye Show' but the show had run out of tickets. She promised her kids the show and felt like a bad mother. Fortunately, she learns that Danny Kaye will be eating lunch at a nearby restaurant. Therefore, she goes to the restaurant to see if she can personally ask Danny Kaye for some extra tickets.

When Lucy arrives at the restaurant she is not allowed in because she does not have a reservation. Fortunately, there is also a fashion show being held at the restaurant. Lucy sneaks in by pretending to be one of the models. Every time Lucy tries to talk to Danny Kaye it ends in a disaster (Lucy destroys Danny's cigar, Lucy inadvertently makes Danny eat a wax cherry, Lucy pulls the tablecloth off Danny's table, and Lucy making a waiter spill soup on Danny). Despite all this trouble, Danny is kind enough to explain to the restaurant staff to bill him at his hotel The Grand Plaza Hotel for all the damage and gave kind words to Lucy.

Lucy tries again to talk to Danny at the entrance of his hotel. Unfortunately, Lucy makes Danny reveal his identity. This causes a mob of teenage girls to strip Danny to only his boxers and jacket. Danny cannot walk through the hotel covered in soup showing his boxer shorts. Lucy works with Danny to dress up as the hotel's doorman so both of them can go to Danny's hotel room to talk. At the hotel room, Danny and Lucy find a way so Lucy and her kids can see the show. Danny will let Lucy be an extra on the show.

At the show, Lucy messes up multiple times on stage. She kept interrupting Danny's monologue. However, Danny saves Lucy by incorporating her into a song and dance routine. By the end of the performance both of them receive a giant round of applause.
