Audrey Meadows was to be cast as a regular, to give the show a new direction and Lucille's character another comic foil.
Curtis gets a phone call from Doc Severinsen's agent, declining to play at the McGibbon wedding. Curtis sarcastically asks Lucy if Johnny Carson is going to perform the ceremony. Carson and Ed McMahon played themselves on an episode of "Here's Lucy" centered around "The Tonight Show." Although Lucy Carter played 'Stump the Band,' one of Severinsen's usual segments, he did not appear and was not mentioned.
The guest list for the wedding includes Ron and Nancy Reagan (to see what gift they'll send). Reagan was mentioned on "Here's Lucy" shortly after being elected Governor of California. Lucille Ball met Reagan at the White House when she was named one of the Kennedy Center Honorees on December 6, 1986, just after "Life With Lucy" was canceled and four days after the death of Desi Arnaz.
The last episode of the series to air. Five other episodes were filmed, but never aired. A fourteenth episode was planned but only made it as far as a first draft script.
