Yes, this is fun segment and something I'm glad is on tape. The "contract" she is reading was given to Vivian by Lucy as a gag at a surprise birthday party Lucy gave her years before. It is the source of the urban legend that Vivian's contract stipulate that she be 15 pounds overweight (Vivian did gain a little over the first couple seasons, but then lost weight over the course of the show and was rather slim in the final seasons). That urban legend won't die, and I still see documentaries reporting it as if it's true. So it seems Lucy's image has forever been punished only because she had a sense of humor.

I came across this on You Tube a while back. It was a very sweet and endearing segment. I miss them both.
