When I was young I used to watch the Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis show. I used to laugh until my belly ached.

He was one of the finest .

Given the time frame you mention, must have seen some of those but not frequently. When the two broke up do remember many were under the impression that Lewis would go to greater heights and Martin would rapidly decrease in box office appeal. In reality, the reverse was promptly proven true.

Later in life, the Dean Martin Variety Show was seen on a weekly basis and SELDOM missed. Really enjoyed watching and was greatly disappointed when it ended its run. He had great aplomb. Lewis, OTOH, could be tolerated only a very short time, in the same vein as Jim Carrey, Robin Williams.
a pinch of a good thing is enough.
