A Vile & Venomous Guy!

I was born as a result of my father going over to my mother and acting like Jerry Lewis.. That's how my father overcame his shyness with approaching my mother so that they could meet and be happily married. Then I came along.

Old Classic Hollywood cries within my heart .... 💜 He said at the end that he wants to live alittle more sadly, he passed one yr. after this interview at 91 yrs. Young ..Whenever I see the sunshine I think of Jerry Lewis & Dean Martin and smile ..😁

I remember the time, at which he painted himself, with a paintbrush, resulting in his character, then being dressed, in that painted tuxedo. He then immediately transforms, into a new, cool guy, as the movie continues. It was magic.

A national treasure from a time that seems will never be again probably because of Tech.

He who is willing to put his life down for others will also by the power of Jesus Christ lift there life up again. Love never dies, not in our hearts. I love ya Jerry. Thanks for all the time of smiles you brought my way.

May God Bless Jerry!!..thanks Jerry for ALL you have shared!!!

Mr Lewis I just love your work as I grown up I hope your heath gets better I have always bin proud of you

He loved everyone but his own...

Just watch ANY of his movies and you'll see why he's a proper funny man. But a great actor too.

my generation in Brazil and worldwide love Jerry. younger ones dont know much on top notch comedy unfortunately. Jerry the ONE AND ONLY!

Imagine the life and everything that he had, all the fun and joy, sorrow and anger. Thats life

One of my guilty pleasures is watching Jerry Lewis & Shirley Temple movies - I could spend a weekend watching those old films & never get tired of them. Much love Jerry

You look just great Jerry Lewis at 90! You will live longer as you stay busy and positive. Thank you for loving people and children so much, you have done a fabulous job on this earth! God Bless You, beautiful interview!

Is back? Did he ever go away? Long after his passing he will still be in the headlines. The man is a talented genis who inluenced the 20th century as well as the 21st.... and beyond!

Jerry Lewis was the successor to Charlie Chaplin, and Buster Keaton. A comedian of rare talent and vision. My Wife and I were lucky enough to have seen him perform live at Proctors Theater in Schenectady NY in 1992. He sang, danced and told the story of his life in show business inheriting talent from his Dad Danny Lewis. What a Legend.

I saw him in Las Vegas. He put on a great show.

We all spend our life worrying and complaining. We forget that it all goes by sooooo fast. Live Live Live....death is guaranteed. Live and love while you can.

He was my favorite as a child growing up in the 60s and 70s. Part of my silly personality development to this day was because of his influence. I had the pleasure of seeing him in Atlantic City during the 80s. Love you Jerry, then and now. RIP.

Time tunnel back to the local movie theatre, Martin and Lewis, then Lewis, Rock a bye your baby, pristine times of comedy and music and color. escaping from family and humdrum life into magic.

I saw that when I was much younger also--and I think that's when I became a permanent fan. It was SO funny when he (in the movie) went to "The Hungry Brain" where the beatniks were. (Remember them--in the '50's?) I loved the dance he did with the woman beatnik in the club. He also was bawling when she was singing her silly, nonsense, "beatnik" song--"cuckoo!!...." And was telling his date, the lovely actress Joan Blackman (who also acted with Elvis)--he told her "This is very sad...." Then he started crying in his classic, crazy "Jerry Lewis" way---was so funnny--and so classic Jerry!!!

'I'm getting over not walking.' LOL Jerry Lewis was a comedic genius, period.

Love you Jerry ! So many smiles you put on peoples faces. Like no other, Thank You :)

GL History Well, that may or may not be so, but to the general public at the time they were still estranged (or at least not as close as they had been in the past), and Jerry realised that his appearance at Dean Paul’s funeral could easily have become a media frenzy if he had been spotted, and encroached on Dean’s and the families grief. That is why he did it in such a low-key way. I think that is what Dean appreciated, not only that Jerry had come to the funeral but that he didn’t push himself forward to give the photographers a field day, ( you can just imagine the headlines; ‘Dean and Jerry re-united in grief’) but respected their privacy on such a traumatic occasion.

Bless him and may he continue to move forward for as long as his body will let him.

Jerry was a great comedian, he made me laugh like he made almost everybody laugh. I wish he wasn’t dead. But he was also stubborn as a mule and had a habit (like most of us do) of holding a grudge until it was too late, and he could never make back the ground then. He made that mistake with Dean and he later made that mistake with his own kids. Life’s too short to end it full of regrets, make peace with your fellow if you can and if they will let you. At least try.

love this wonderful man entertainment at it's finest

Jerry was very talented and knew that is talent could do something bigger than himself. Thank you to Jerry and his real family that suffered , do to dad’s mission to solve MS. Once every couple 100 years or so comes a man that is driven by his heart and not fame.

Jerry was to comedy, what Elvis was to music...Jerry and Dean were to comedic movies, what Andy Griffith and Don Knotts were to "The Andy Griffith Show"...I love seeing interviews of legendary stars from bygone eras, because of their wisdom, because of the nostalgia and because of their stories.
