Sorry for your loss and I’ll keep you in my prayers.

[ducttape45]

Thank you. I appreciate your condolences. He’s in a better place now and I got a great reunion to look forward to.

[ducttape45]

Thank you and I appreciate your prayers.

And add back in Sinatra.

Sorry for the loss of your father.

Yep. The title flees my mind, but the one where Mr.Williams goes to Heaven and Hell to find his wife was awesome.

Amen to that!

It was funny though if you tuned in around 2AM when Jerry just wasn't giving a crap anymore, his tie pulled loose, his oily hair becoming unglued.

LOL! You nailed it! I was just a kid back then but could not imagine a Labor Day weekend without Jerry's telethon.

My mom sadly passed in April and life looks a lot different these days.

Thanks for a laugh and the help remembering the good old days.

In what few “Married with Children” episodes I ever saw, was this hilarious line from Al Bundy:

“Bad things always happen in threes:

Celebrity deaths
Airplane crashes
Wilson-Phillips”.

I had the honor of meeting Mr. Lewis at a mall signing books in the early 1980s.

It was the French dubber who was a great comic... In French !

JLL was much better, except when he performed drunk.

[OrangeHoof]

I was never a fan but what a hatchet job of an obituary. This is what they do to conservatives folks.

[tsowellfan]

Lewis had little success in his later career because he wasn’t willing to diversify the roles he could play.

---

Actually, he wasn’t willing to diversify his movies by adding swear words and sexually explicit scenes into them. He wanted to keep them Rated G so the kids could go and enjoy them.

How the “King of Comedy” proved Jerry Lewis was a great actor.

He should have won an Academy Award for this great movie. He dominated every scene he was in,
