Ricky Ricardo

Ricky Ricardo is a hero from the television show I Love Lucy. He is married to Lucy. His friends are Fred and Ethel Mertz. He looks out for his friends and family from threats such as Madame X. He has a great sense of humor which mixes well with Lucy, Ethel, and Fred in every episode. For example, Lucy bought a new dress because she says she doesn't have anything to wear. As a joke, Ricky pretends to go to work in his underwear. When Lucy sees this he responds "I haven't a thing to wear". He works in a nightclub called the Tropicana. He lives in New York City in a brownstone apartment owned by the Mertzes. Later on the in series, they all move to California (to help Ricky with his movie career) and then Connecticut (because country life was more preferable to Lucy than city life).

In some episodes, Lucy tries to get into show business but usually something hilarious happens. For example, during Ricky's screen test for Hollywood Lucy is given a part to help the scene. However, Lucy finds out her face won't be seen on camera. She attempts to face the camera but eventually the director had to shoot the entire scene with a close up on Ricky.
