He was the most polarizing guy in hollywood. I couldn’t stand him either.
In my youth we saw the Telethon, went to the Drive In with a shopping bag full of bacon popcorn to watch his movies, and as an adult, studied his comedy and his shortcomings.
I spent a glorious afternoon with Myron Cohen and his hilarious wife. He detested Lewis.
I guess he had his faults, but his comedy entertained me greatly and his passion for MDA inspired me. Such is life.
