Lewis was also a natural film director. His films are technically impeccable.

Rest In Peace. He is such an American hero of stage and screen. I can’t believe that it took this long since he and Dean Martin had their wonderful shows on Erik in the 1950’s. I hope Las Vegas gives him a YUGE salute.

Joan Rivers and Jerry had a feud...
Did not know that.

I hate to be ‘that guy’, but this begs the questions. Who’s next?

a 14 year old going through puberty. Seeing it again 40 years later

I saw "The Tingler" when I was a kid and it scared me to death. Watching it years later I could even see the little wires that they used to pull the silly putty demon.

He lived to the age of 91. I doubt smoking had much of anything to do with his longevity.

Life expectancy for U.S. males is 76.4 years.

Thank you.

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

He wasn’t always a heavy smoker and had quit smoking years ago. Give us a break.

I was never a fan, but I recognize that he was an icon. RIP, Mr. Lewis.

“Silver Streak” has Canada written all over it. Many of the train scenes were shot in Alberta and the climactic end was done at Union Station in Toronto. And directer Arthur Hiller was from Edmonton.

No worries. According to the life insurance actuarial tables, you'll be alive and kicking twice as long as that. Go grab yourself some Guinness and a corned beef sandwich.

When I heard the news, I turned to the ever-blessed You Tube and wanted to post this link to a hilarious impression of Jerry from Martin Short on SCTV... from back in the 1980s when late night tv was actually funny.

Jerry Lewis Live on the Champs Elysees (from SCTV)
