Wonder how long he would have lived if he hadn’t been a heavy smoker.

RIP Jerry Lewis

You were quite the funny man in my youth.
Your work for MDA was extraordinary.

As a little kid, I liked him. That changed when I was 12 during a marathon when he yelled to grab that old broad’s money.

Just watched Rio Bravo last night with John Wayne, Dean, Walter Brennan, Walt Bond, Claude Atkins and Angie Dickinson. My wife could not believe it was her. Wife also commented that Angie had one small waist. Holy smokes had to be 19 or 20 inches.

I use to say that about Ted Kennedy. Funny how evil never really goes away.

Jerry Lewis Dead at 91

Jerry Lewis -- the legendary comedian, actor, singer and director -- has died.

Penn Jillette just tweeted, "Jerry Lewis just died. When I met him, I fell apart, just sobbed. I guess it's time for that again." Another tweet from Las Vegas Review-Journal reporter John Katsilometes says Lewis died peacefully from natural causes at his home in Vegas ... attributing a statement from his family.

Lewis was one of the greatest comedians in the history of comedy. He was known for his slapstick routines and became enormously famous when he teamed up with Dean Martin in 1946.

IIRC, he was in Houston, several years back getting a tune up on his ticker.

RIP Funny Man

He was a great entertainer, but a lousy father and husband..He treated his first wife and sons terribly..They suffered for years..He was miserable and took it out on them...The world may love him,his second wife and daughter may love him,but I doubt there was much love lost from his sons...

I have watched a few interviews with him. He was quite an ahole. RiP Jerry.

Now that’s something I never realized...that Gary Lewis (of The Playboys) was Jerry’s son. I guess I should have put 2 and 2 together, especially after “Everybody Loves A Clown” became such a big hit.

Just what Sunday needed...

A clean comedian, that was a selfless and humble man.

I feel bad that I’ve completely forgotten about him until now.

And then there were two...

Only Carl Reiner and Barrie Chase remain from the cast of It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World.

An era is ending...
