are you referring to a specific show, or are you just looking for any and all examples of such?

I seem to remember an episode of I Love Lucy, where Lucy wore a fake beard& mustache

on The Nanny, Fran infiltrates a mens-only club dressed as a man, complete with facial hair

I'm not really sure about this so I'll take a wild guess.

I'm positive that it wasn't Maude, but then again she wouldn't have needed the disguise. :)


My favourite episode from Season 2 of The Monkees was called "Some Like It Lukewarm". The Monkees enter a talent contest in which one of the conditions is that all bands who enter have to have at least one male and one female in it. This presents a problem for the all-male Monkees, so Davy has to dress up as a woman. At the same time, their biggest competitors are an all-girl band, so one of their members has to dress as a man. The actress who played this part was Deana Martin, the lovely daughter of Dean Martin. This is what she looked like in disguise:

That sounds like "Alice Hyatt" from the show "Alice" when she disguises herself in drag as "Sam Butler" so she can spy on her son, Tommy at Mel's poker game. She also does it later in an episode to threaten her landlord when he tries to evict her friend, Belle.
