Yes, that was his last television appearance. I always assumed his first television appearance was also with Lucille Ball in 1951 on I Love Lucy, but it appears he first appeared on television on April 15, 1949 in an episode of an anthology series called Your Show Time, a full two-and-a-half years before I Love Lucy. He also appeared on another anthology series, The Silver Theatre, in 1950.

William Frawley's brief cameo was probably the funniest moment ever on 'The Lucy Show'. And Lucy saying 'He reminds me of somebody I used to know' was the perfect punchline.

He also appeared in a "commercial"/"skit" for Camel Cigarettes on The Ed Wynn Show sometimes in the 1949-1950 season. It was the show with the Three Stooges appearing, and I have the date somewhere but not available to me at the moment.
