For those who didn't catch the 5th Annual TVLand Awards Sunday, Lucille Ball was honored with the Legacy of Laughter award by her children, Desi Arnaz Jr. and Lucie Arnaz.

Lucy earned the first ever Legacy of Laughter Award at the event, which taped April 14th in Santa Monica, Calif. Kirstie Alley introduced the award and Carol Burnett presented the Award.
