While filming an early episode of The Jeffersons, Hemsley accidentally addressed his TV wife as Weezy…
Weezy…
And you won’t be surprised to hear that it was during one of his typical George outbursts.

It soon became the official nickname of Louise after Hemsley got approval from the executive producer and Sanford herself.
Will the real Weezy please stand up…
Yes another piece of adhoc material the producers managed to squeeze into the show. These made for great entertainment and a personal touch.
