Which lawmaker’s given last name is the same as Lucille Ball’s on “I Love Lucy?”

a) Barack Obama

b) Connie Mack

c) Olympia J. Snowe

d) Michele Bachmann

Answer: b) The given name of Connie Mack, a two-term Republican House member from Florida, is Cornelius McGillicuddy IV. Lucille Ball’s character on “I Love Lucy” was Lucy McGillicuddy, who became Lucy Ricardo after her marriage to bandleader Ricky Ricardo, played by Ball’s real-life husband Desi Arnaz.

Mack, in going by a shortened version of his given name, is following a family tradition begun by his great-grandfather, the original Cornelius McGillicuddy, a famous baseball manager known to the world as Connie Mack. A grandson, Connie Mack III, was a Republican senator from Florida from 1989 to 2001; the current congressman is his son.

Connie Mack IV is married to California Republican Rep. Mary Bono, the widow of the late California Rep. (and former pop music star) Sonny Bono.
