jerry's jacket goes HARD

Bobbie Wygant (born Roberta Connolly; November 22, 1926) is an American television news reporter, film critic, talk show host, and interviewer who has worked for Fort Worth, Texas television station KXAS-TV (originally known as WBAP-TV) for over 70 years. She is known for her filmed interviews with celebrities.

The King of Comedy is streaming on KZread, so I was able to watch it again. There are actually some very funny, laugh-aloud scenes in that film!

One of my fav movies and my first ever Jerry Lewis movie

When Bobbie begins doing her fake reactions at 15:40 and fake questions it totally reminds me of when Rupert Pupkin is doing his fake talk show in his Mother's basement. An amazing parallel. Wonderful interview, by the way.

Loved Jerry in this film. No mugging, no gimmicks, just straight performance.

Amazing XO.

Sure he wasnt the kindest guy at times, but geniuses of their field rarely are. He did more to help kids than most of us put together and by all accounts he mellowed a lot after his heart attack.

We will never ever quite see another one like jerry Lewis

Yes, we saw that. We JUST watched this video I saw it, he saw it, she saw it, we ALL just saw it. But thanks for repeating it Captain Obvious

No one can ever be as multi talented as Jerry Lewis. Singer, dancer, actor, director, writer and Hilarious. Dean Martin took Jerry to a level he may never have achieved on his own….but the reverse is doubly true. But regardless, they were magic together. But Jerry Lewis was the one you couldn’t take yr eyes off of.

Ah, so this is how Martin Short got the Jerry Lewis lozenge idea.

The female Rupert Pupkin.

Jerry Lewis was an interesting cat. Kind of a shame that he didn't play more intense characters throughout his movie career.

Jerry Lewis certainly did alot to help young disabled children. I respect him for that. However, there were many occasions when Jerry was mean and nasty to people Jerry saw it as joking around - he even said so - but many people interpreted his jokes as extremely mean and nasty and they voiced their concerns to him. I dont think Jerry realised that not everyone appreciated his crude style of jokes or crude off screen humour. His off screen humour was very different from his on screen humour. The ON SCREEN Jerry was the child friendly Jerry that we saw. But the OFF SCREEN Jerry was the adult content Jerry that only people like me who have worked in the industry saw firsthand. People need to learn to distinguish between the ON SCREEN Jerry and the OFF SCREEN Jerry - as they were not the same person. I met him several times in the late 1980's. He told us that he was just joking around with us. (The crew) Its just that other members of the crew did not always get the crude jokes - particularly his more "adult content" jokes. That was the OFF SCREEN Jerry that i worked with in the late 1980's. He was a great comic ON SCREEN - but OFF SCREEN some of his more sexually explicit jokes with the crew were shocking to us. Like i said, most people only saw the ON SCREEN Jerry who was child friendly. But i worked with the OFF SCREEN adult content Jerry that had a completely different style of humour from the ON SCREEN Jerry. It was very adult content in terms of the nature of the jokes. Our job as the crew is to shoot the scene after the background sets have been built and the wadrobe and make up artists have done their work and the lighting crew set up. It was inbetween shooting scenes that i met the REAL Jerry - and trust me - his style of humour was completely different to his child friendly movies.

It doesn’t make sense except his ego was fired up in the telethons but the illegitimate daughter he probably thought reflected badly on him. So she was never cared for. She’s 100% his kid.

@@angelwings7930 Agreed. Her name is Susan Lewis and the mainstream network TV program called Inside Edition did a story on her. Its on KZread. They even interviewed her aswell. His son Gary Lewis has also talked about bis Fathers dark side. That interview is so on KZread. Regarding the Telethons you make some good points. It is unknown why Jerry did the Telethons. Phil Donuhue asked him when he appeared on the mainstream network TV chat show - but Jerry refused to discuss it. If he really cared about disadvantaged children then he should have done a variety Telethons for other diseases aswell. Children are dying all the time from other diseases - not just muscular dystrophy. He claimed most of the money he raised went to research centres. So by his own admission, very little went to actual "on the ground" services for children with MS. As for Children suffering from other diseases, Jerry never gave a damn about them - if he did he would have helped them. Maybe he did those Telethons for his public image. We will never know. I worked with him in the late 1980's when he was on broadway. He was a Great comic, but he had a horrible personality off camera. He took his secrets to the grave with him. Most of the young generation of Kids today do not even know who he is. Maybe its better that way. He has faded out of the publics memory. There is no need to ressurect his image. We can watch his early films and laugh. Then we can forget about him and go about our daily business. Thanks for being honest about the way you feel. At least your NOT a sheep that blindly follows whatever you have been told.

@@shaunigothictv1003 That’s very interesting. You must have had a great career. And thanks.

Ànother or Jerrys contradictory remarks. The day the clown cries, he quite happily talks about it here and how there's a few problems that need resolving before he can go back and finish it. In later interviews he either refuses to talk about it when asked, or goes insane saying how bad it was and how he wished he'd never have had anything to do with it. Interesting interview of him, usually his anger comes out as he takes a stab at someone or gets overly defensive and goes into a rant. King of comedy was a pretty good film, Lewis pretty much plays himself and liked the film because it was fairly well regarded.

I wonder how often they do that cause they make it look seamless? I’m kinda mind blown She finished her questions for the camera and went back to actually talking to Jerry. It’s pretty weird. I’m pretty sure the person being interviewed does the same thing so there’s less pressure on both people. It’s definitely based off preference cause I’ve seen plenty of supposed live one on one interviews

She spent a lot of time talking about the heart problems. That was more of a Barbara Walters type approach. I was just waiting for Jerry to lose his patience as he was known to do if he found something to be ponderous.

I didn’t know that he was such a asshole. What he did to women and other people as well to his family was really disgusting.
