i always thought his comedy was sophomoric but his work with the telethon, lifeworthy.

[tet68]

Gee, didn’t realize he was still alive.

His charity work truly outstanding Happy Birthday Jerry.

Met him in the late 50s.

When I was a kid, I loved the movie “Artists And Models. Watched the whole movie last week on youtube. There was a radio show host here, the late Joe Finsn, who said many times that Lewis was a complete prick to be around.

saw him at the Family Tree restaurant on Shelter island in San Diego 1968, signed autographs to anyone who walked up and asked for one.

Happy Birthday Jerry! I have always loved your work and I wish you the best.

Their nightclub act was much funnier than their movies and the Colgate comedy hour was great when they ad libbed.

Can somebody explain to us why the Muscular Dystrophy foundation quit asking him to be the host for their annual TV telethon?

Why Did Jerry Lewis Leave the Telethon?

My daughter loves all things Cinderella, the story, not just the Disney movies. Last week I rented Cinderfella for her on Netflix. What an original idea, to do Cinderella with a guy, instead of a girl.

say what one will about his sophomoric comedy (we all were so sophisticated that no one ever went to these films and laughed our butts off as kids), or that he could be an ass off screen (see The Family Jewels where one of his characters is a circus clown who hates kids), there is no denying his entertainment longevity and success.

A good, honest read of his life and career is his autobiography Dean and Me (A Love Story)

[Yellowstone Joe]

I enjoyed him and Martin’s movies as a kid, then as I became an adult I realized how both Dean and Jerry were dicks to those around them. Both were big Democrat supporters, although Dean supported Reagan.

Turns out that Lewis thought that even the Democrats were too conservative for him in the “60”s.

Like most great comedians, Jerry Lewis is a Socialist who never liked America. We moved to France like Chaplin before him and many other that followed after him.

I respect him for his charitable work, other than that he can kiss this red blooded American’s ass.

[Yellowstone Joe]

I meant to write that “HE”, not (we) moved to France like Chaplin before him and many other that followed after him.

Loved the movie “Scared Stiff” when I was a kid.

Jerry Lewis was in an episode of Law & Order...probably a few years ago, although I watched it again recently. He was Munch’s uncle and was picked up as a homeless person/murder suspect. He wasn’t that particular murderer, but he did wind up murdering someone else at the end of the program.
