Ricky Ricardo instead of Desi Arnaz?

If the answer was Ricky Ricardo then the hint would have to be Lucy Ricardo or else Lucille McGillicuddy. Lucille Ball was the real-life actress who played Lucy Ricardo and her real-life husband was Desi Arnaz, not Ricky Ricardo the television character.

Not a clue who Desi Arnaz was. Lucille Ball's name rang a vague bell. Having Googled them, i'm not surprised I didn't know them.

Good quiz though

Fifty years ago Desilu Studios made Star Trek and Mission Impossible. Of course nothing about those things leads you to know the answer, but it's a measure of how Lucy's part in television history reaches the culture of the 21st Century.

In US TV history, perhaps. She wasn't such a cultural icon in other parts of the world, so excuse us for not all knowing a lot about Lucille Ball. *sigh*

@HectorVortac, yeah @Fitheach beat me to it. She may be famous in America, but in Britain she is utterly unknown. Possibly to people of an older generation who remember her shows, she may have name recognition over here, but I’m in my 40’s and I have no idea who she is beyond the basic ‘name rings a bell’.

Also British, also in my 40s, well aware of who Lucille Ball is and remember seeing reruns of I Love Lucy on TV when I was a kid. She's certainly not as big here as in the States but she's far from unknown.

A bit of research tells me that "I Love Lucy" was never released in Germany and not until 1999 in France. Of course it could be different in other countries. If I understand Portuguese Wikipedia correctly, the show was a big hit in Brazil.

I think 'Fernando' should be accepted for Ferdinand. It's not just his name in Spanish but also frequently used in English.

Im Deutschen ist das echt ungut: Ich gebe bei Marcus Antonius "Kleopatra" ein, was nicht akzeptiert wird. Ich gebe "Cleopatra" ein - und es erscheint "Kleopatra" als Lösung. Gleiches bei Anne Boleyn: "Heinrich" wird nicht akzeptiert, aber wenn ich "Henry" eingeben, erscheint als Lösung "Heinrich". Das muss man nicht verstehen.

Please spell Mark Antony's name in the standard way. Spelling it as "Marc" (albeit without the "h") makes me think of J.Lo rather than Cleopatra, though I know both.

That threw me off as well... even though I'm huge history buff, and not at all into celebrity gossip or pop music. After "Lopez" wasn't right, I just skipped it and had to come back to it at the end.
