I have mixed feelings about this presentation. On the one hand it is a fantastic photo montage of the life of a very singular genius. It seems well researched and well reported however to title it about the violence of the man was a cheap shot. What I saw was a man operating at a very high level of creativity who has all of us humans, had feet of clay. A personality that profound that strayed into overly sharp rhetoric and verbal abuse of others. When you compare that to you yourself compiled as a lifetime of excellence and service that benefited physically and spiritually to people all over the planet then it was very unfair to encapsulate this presentation as the violence of Jerry Lewis. You ought to be ashamed of yourself and if you’re not then there are some of us out here who see through you and your desire to gain a KZread following with no regard for your tactics. Have you been more sincere about your presentation it would’ve been not just a good presentation but a great presentation about a great man who had flaws. But your inability to go for the cheap shot really characterizes YOU as a poor excuse for a human being. Pageofwonder 0:06

As a child I loved Jerry Lewis films. Cinderfella was my favorite. As an adult I found those same films to be irritating. His characters were rude and dreadfully annoying.
The one thing I just don't get is the 'comic genius' part. I still remember watching 'The Nutty Professor' at summer camp when I was 10. I just remember all of us staring at the screen with this confused, are-we-supposed-to-be-laughing? look on our faces. After it was over several kids yelled out 'It's over - thank God!!!' Years later I thought maybe the film was too sophisticated for kids to understand and appreciate, so I watched it again as an adult. And well - I guess I'm still just too stupid to understand why anyone thinks Jerry Lewis had any talent at all.

He could have had narcissistic traits or personality: infidelity (narcissists perceive only physical part of love and sometimes are mad about it), lack of empathy (insensitive jokes), cruelty (harassment), lack of values (insensitive public comments, harassment), etc. His acting career, contribution to MD charity could be motivated by the need for attention (so called: narcissistic supply). I recommend anyone to at least learn 'Narcissistic Red Flags', look up Prof. Sam Vaknin (self aware narcissist), Dr. Ramani, Dr. Les Carter, Dr Abdul Saad, Ross Rosenberg (interview: 'The Ugly Truth about Gaslighting' as test for narcissistic parents). I'd say an extra prayer for him. Narcissists are living in fear, go through life using, bulling others. They know what is right, what is wrong, wouldn't like to be treated the way they treat others. There's a difference between mistakes, and pride, constant pattern of negative behaviours.

He refused to pay any alimony or child support to his ex wife and his sons..one of his sons Mr.Anthony Lewis..was so angry with his dad..that he took him to court..and by court order..Mr.Jerry Lewis was forced to pay the back alimony and child support to his family.But..as a form of revenge..this lead to his cutting his sons and ex wife out of his estate.

NEWS FLASH: "charities' are a SCAM!!!!
My father, as a Pan Am captain once flew Jerry Lewis to Rio and it I just happened to be on the same flight (first-class). I don't recall what caused the event, but,Lewis became verbally abusive with one of the stewardesses (as they we referred to at the time). Said stewardess complained to my father and my father came out from the cockpit, approached Mr Lewis saying, "If you ever speak that way to anyone on my flight again, in the manner in which you did, I will come out and kick the bejesus out of you.". Lewis behaved himself the remainder of the flight. I sat across the aisle from Mr Lewis and at some point he looked over at me and, seeing the smile on my face, he said, "What?" and I said, "He's my father." And I have to say, he took it rather well and laughed, adding, "I bet you'll remember that for the rest of your life." I instantly forgave him. Btw, I had no idea whether my father recognized who he was and I certainly didn't.

It was only when he stood up to leave that he realised with horror that the rude man was Jerry Lewis. This was in the late 1990s. I used to enjoy watching his movies as a child, my mum always loved them. You don’t hear about Jerry Lewis much these days, but that incident stuck in my mind. Your story confirms the validity of my brother in law’s experience. What a shame.

Over the years many questions have been asked as to what happened to all that 2 Billion dollars raised every fall during his MDA Telethons. Much of it seems untraceable. I read quite a while back that part of the reason the MDA dumped him was there were too many unanswered questions being asked about where all that MDA donations went? Supposedly much off it was unaccounted for and didn't end up working for the MDA research programs. Considering the nature of his personality, it is not a long shot to consider him a scam artist, or worse yet, like the rest of the Rat Pack, tied in with the Mafia in some way.

Well you need to have a pretty high opinion of yourself to think you are capable of entertaining people. Plus I think the Hollywood machine encourages that kind of behaviour by first encouraging it, then pandering to it. Look at how Weinstein's PA helped him get women alone.

My mother grew up around that time and sad Jerry badmouthed Dean and supposedly initiated the breakup. I think Jerry might have even said Dean would amount to nothing and was a drunk. Well, Dean made so much money from film , tv and recordings after the split that at one point he practically owned NBC. As a child I used to think Jerry was hilarious in films, but when I saw him on TV in interviews and hosting the telethons he just read as a nasty person. I was a kid but I knew something was off. He just seemed creepy and mean.
The 'violent' part of the title seems to be just click-bait-found nothing about this in the video-
His 1st wife was my uncle's sister. Read her book. I remember them coming to town when I was a kid. We were not allowed to go down the street his wife's parents lived on while they were in town. However I think that was my mother's rule. I had many items with the Hirshfield caricature of him on them, but I had a house fire and lost them all. Patti Palmer was his wife's stage name. Her birth name was Esther Colonico

Only competent health professional may give proper diagnosis, will need good observations for that, and usually family, friends, close people do have enough of them. There are some common types but really each narcissist is different like fingerprints. For the victims proper diagnosis is not required to learn how to deal with them. I wonder why he disown children from the 1st marriage? Perhaps they knew and were able to tell the truth about him. Narcissism is just type of character, it's not a disease but such person can destroy lives of close people, communities, world in order to save face (someone with NPD). Millenials have 4x more such traits than the rest of population.

@@sunglasses-ex4jn I’m delighted for you that you have nice memories of him. I do not intend to bring his name down. I know many narcissists, narcissistic people and love them dearly. If you go deeper into this issue you may love him even more. Narcissists are people broken in childhood, going through life in fear, dealing with difficulties like 2 years old, denying they do anything bad while for lack of empathy using, destroying people. He started pulling Dean’s hair, got too difficult, overdid. I believe him when he said in one interview they never lost contact. They stop working together but kept meeting, participated in parties of both families. It was very kind of Dean. I’ve seen him looking during some performances just miserable. It was very wise of Jerry to choose to be an actor to satisfy his need for attention (called ‘narcissistic supply’). Many narcissists or narcissistic people for attention (negative or positive) will irritate others, insult, lie, abuse. He is not a man who made mistakes but a man who had certain tendencies, constant pattern of negative behaviours. I used to love to watch Carol Burnett Show. But more I did it came realization that they also pushed down the level of sensibility of viewers what is decent. If it wasn’t for that I would have bought all her DVDs You would honor his memory by learning more about narcissism. This could help you, others, maybe you could help some victims, motivate some narcissists to seek help.

When I was 8 years old in 1971, I participated in an MDA fundraiser that occurred during the telethon. It was held at our local rollerskating rink (yes, we had indoor 'rinks' back then, where they played appalling organ music long before they played contemporary music) and a nurse pulled me from the rink after 8 hours because of a massive blister on my heel and the bottom of my foot. I remember crying because I had committed myself to skating for the full 24 hours after getting a pledge for thousand dollars for each hour and I wanted my donation to be 24 thousand, NOT 8 thousand. I was very upset, but the organisers had a plan to give a person with “exceptional commitment” a chance to talk to Lewis and I didn’t like him. He was abrupt, rude and condescending. I got off the call as fast as I could.

A very interesting and informative video, obviously a great deal of work went into it and that paid off, however, with such an iconic subject for the video why did you think it necessary to use a clickbait title?, don’t you have any confidence in your work? Or do you think 💭 people won’t be interested without a salacious title?, whatever the reason you need to stop using clickbait titles, making such an allegation of being the most violent icon and not giving any credibility to it in the video is unfair to someone who is not alive to defend themselves and is also an insult to his fans and remaining family and friends. Still going to give you a thumbs up as the video itself was excellent, thanks for sharing.

Jerry Lewis was on the Mike Douglas show with Jacques Cousteau as a guest. When Jacques Cousteau was explaining how things are becoming alarming with the conditions of the oceans, we need to start being concerned and do something about it. Jerry jumped in with some idiotic response, and the Jacques Cousteau looked at him and said, "Are you stupid? " All episodes of the I believe it was 1976 Mike Douglas show Season have been removed or destroyed. I believe Jerry Lewis had something to do with this.

Yeah, there was no violence in this video. What a bunch of clickbait😊
I went to the Saturday matinees to watch Dean and Jerry when I was still in grade school. As I got older and wiser, I found out how horrible he was. I always felt that his efforts with "Jerry's Kids" was just a front to hide his true evilness. Yes, he did some good, but he always seemed to have an agenda behind everything he did.
I never knew he was that horrible! Terrible how he treated his 1st wife and kids!😮😮😮
YOU are the one confused over the birth certificate. The name on it is Jerry Lewis Davidson, the birth date is Sept. 12, 1972. It says this person was born in Dallas, TX. You just got through saying he was born on March 16, 1926 in Newark, NJ. Why is the documentation so blurred? So people can't read it? On the census record it clearly says Jerry Lewis, not Jerome. Maybe you could circle the Jerome part. You're trying to find the hospital he was born? And you can't even get his birth certificate right?

For me it confirmed what I already heard in other documentaries about him. Narcissistic abuse is worse than physical. He could have had narcissistic traits or personality: infidelity (narcissists perceive only physical part of love and sometimes are mad about it), lack of empathy (insensitive jokes), cruelty (harassment), lack of values (insensitive public comments, harassment), etc. His acting career, contribution to MD charity could be motivated by the need for attention (so called: narcissistic supply). I recommend anyone to at least learn 'Narcissistic Red Flags', look up Prof. Sam Vaknin (self aware narcissist), Dr. Ramani, Dr. Les Carter, Dr Abdul Saad, Ross Rosenberg (interview: 'The Ugly Truth about Gaslighting' as test for narcissistic parents). I'd say an extra prayer for him. Narcissists are living in fear, go through life using, bulling others. They know what is right, what is wrong, wouldn't like to be treated the way they treat others. There's a difference between mistakes, and pride, constant pattern of negative behaviours.
Strange! I've noticed that some comics are real nuts! Costello of Abbott and Costello turned out to be a very mean person. Don't know what the deal is but I guess maybe the pressure of always being up and funny!
I won't be able to sleep tonite. The amount of violence from Mr Lewis was excruciating. Not! Come on!🧐
This guy was AMAZING! He could make an empty glass hysterical.

One of the greats.
I grew up in the era of Martin and Lewis, and even as a kid I found Lewis weird and somewhat frightening, he was to "in your face", never did like him even then.
It is so easy to voice 'ALLEGATIONS' at someone who is dead and cannot defend themselves. And what's with the dark circles under Jerry's eyes to make him look evil, how ridiculous. Anything for views.
So easy to make a negative clickbait KZread video about someone long gone....just for a few bucks, but that is what much of Google's KZread is all about...
You are very kind.. Jerry Lewis was my hero throughout my childhood..But when he got old, he became stupid and very mean to journalists. There was no reason.. He probably knew he was going to die, and he no longer respected anyone. For me, just before he died he was a big shit.. I was very disappointed with his behavior. And he was my hero.. Sad.. 😔
Actually had an encounter with Jerry Lewis in Vegas. My friends and I were in a small shopping mall and saw Jerry Lewis in a motorized scooter. One buddy's girlfriend ran up to him and told him that she was a huge fan and asked for his autograph. He said "If you are a true fan, then you know why I can't". She said "Of course, I'm sorry" even though she had no idea what he was talking about. But she couldn't question him because that would mean that she wasn't a true fan. What an ass!
This video was about Jerry Lewis but in your description it describes Gary Cooper. Cheers!
Sounds like a normal biography of a talented person. No mention of any real violence in this video. The title is totally wrong for this.

How about 'NO' violence.
Not only did Lewis ignore his financial responsibilities to his wife & children--he also wrote them out of his will and forbade most of them from attending his funeral. This includes Number One son Gary, whom I once met in person. This was at a show by Gary Lewis & The Playboys prior to COVID but after Jerry's death. Gary featured old clips of him and Jerry in a loving way and never disparaged the old man. Gary puts on a great show and I own lots of his music. I think that the late Patti Lewis was a wonderful person and she raised her kids very well.
A million little kids with muscular dystrophy say otherwise. I could not care less what this man did in his private life. He used his platform for benevolence. Let his soul rest.
Title is misleading.

I knew about Gary Lewis - and the Playboys, which you didn't mention - but I had no idea that there were comic books! Or how hateful he was towards All of The Offspring from the Longsuffering Wife/Mother.

You could find fault in every single one of us on this earth. None of us are perfect. I don’t look into the private lives of anyone I look at what they gave to their art and to this world and Jerry Lewis was one of the greatest comics ever. He left a body of work that will last forever and continue to inspire comics for the rest of time.

Was he also Buddy Love, his alter ego in the movie Nutty Professor? Maybe that was the real Jerry Lewis. Very obnoxious and yet funny in a Don Rickles way. Andrew Dice Clay adopted that Buddy Love character for his act as well. "One hen, two ducks, three squawking geese, four limerick oysters etc etc etc...." IYKYK

In the description paragraph this dude is talking about Gary Cooper, then the video is about Jerry Lewis. So who in heck is the "violent icon"? Thumbs down
It's a red flag when your kids don't have anything nice to say about their dad. That proves Jerry Lewis wasn't a decent guy. He had a relationship with his adopted daughter and last wife not his sons and ex wife. They were scared of him. So sad.
It is interesting to me that SO many famous comedians have a very dark side away from the camera. Now that can mean anything from physical abuse to deep depression. I am 64 and of course remember Martin and Lewis but something about Lewis always bothered me??
He was horrible to his kids.

In a round about way, this vid shows what's missing in Hollywood today. Class! A way of doing/handling business and conflicts in a more private manner. Others will naturally respond, sweep under the table...no! That happens whether in light or dark. NO, handled appropriately (today's standard), but with refine dignity. Jerry, Carol Burnett, Lucy Ball, and so many others have/had "human", real problems as the rappers, the ma- donnas of today, but it wasn't the "goal" to put it on front page/nightly news as it is with "stars" today!
