JAMESTOWN – The city of Jamestown will once again be in the national spotlight tonight. Jamestown, along with the Lucy-Desi Center for Comedy and the annual Lucille Ball Comedy Festival will all be included in a segment of the two-hour Barbara Walters Special, “The Best in TV – The Greatest Shows of Our Time.”
The results of an online poll conducted by ABC News and People Magazine, which nearly one million people voted in, will be announced during Tuesday’s special. “I Love Lucy” is nominated in two different categories; Best Television Comedy of All Time and Best Television Show of All Time.
A team of producers and cameramen from ABC News and People Magazine visited Jamestown in August during this year’s Lucille Ball Festival of Comedy to record footage for the TV special. A portion of the 2-hour special will feature Jamestown’s annual Lucille Ball Comedy Festival, the first-ever Lucy World Games, and footage from the Lucy Desi Center for Comedy’s dual museum attraction.
The program will air tonight at 9 p.m. on ABC.
Lucy Fest 2013 will be August 1-4. Additional information on the festival can be found at www.LucyComedyFest.com.
