The Lucy Show: Lucy Becomes a Reporter (1963)
Season 1, Episode 17
6/10
"Stop the Presses"
25 November 2023
Lucy fills in for the Danfield Tribune's society page editor and gets fired. She then tries to get her job back by scoring an interview with an elusive tycoon -- who happens to be Viv's old high-school beau.

This is just an okay episode. The big comedy scene takes place in the office where Lucy repeatedly causes mishaps with the printing machine, exasperating the poor letterpress operator guy. The funniest part is when the boss refers to her as Brenda Starr. Lucy wears a trench coat to look the part of a serious reporter.

The script tells us that Vivian's maiden name was Tuttle and Lucy tries to pass herself off as Viv to get an interview. It's weird that Argyle Nelson (the tycoon) can't recognize that Lucy is an imposter. He does mention later to Viv that "You look more like Vivian Tuttle than the real Vivian Tuttle" though.
