Why does Debra Messing think she is the reincarnation of Lucille Ball?

Is it the red hair? Did someone once tell her she has the comedic chops of a modern day Lucille? She and her team seem obsessed w the comparison.

Maybe Deb can star in a remake of Mame.

Standard delusion. Also, lots of cocaine.

ALLEGEDLY.

If she's Lucille Ball, then Sean Hayes is definitely William Frawley!

To be fair to her, she alternately believes she's the reincarnation of Katherine Hepburn. I think it depends on her mood.

Because she’s funny and also does physical comedy. I love W&G.

She’s not Lucy, but there are similarities. Lighten up, geez.

O.K. I was team hate Deb for a long time.

I've changed my mind. She's funny and talented. Lucy? That's unfair. Lucy was one of a kind and nobody can do that justice.

Was a long time Meghan fan but am now switching teams.

I’m team Deb and team Megan. They’re both very talented.

Miss McCormack is no Desi Arnaz either.

Debra wishes she had 1/10 of the chops Lucille Ball had. Lucille shits all over her, even from beyond the grave.

Actually She does look a lot like Lucille Ball

She'd be lucky enough to look like Lucille La Verne.

According to dl everyone back in the days was beautiful, and nowadays everyone is ugly. And if you look at portraits, sculptures and photos of women of the 1930s and before that time, who were considered beautiful and still are being called beautiful, Jesus. People were short then, as well.

Funny, [R4], I've done lots of coke and never once did I feel I was the reincarnation of La Ball.
