Yes, I heard the same thing.

Joan was friendly & helpful, none of this “Don’t look me in the eye baloney as with so many!” She was a nice, caring woman who treated everyone with respect I heard as well from someone who worked for her production crew & then those who worked on one of her tv shows.

So glad the interviewer challenged him with some cool logic, rather than let it slide. Good for her.

I know a woman who was a child actor back in the 60's and she raves about almost everyone she worked with except Jerry Lewis. She worked with him on a TV special and said he was an absolute ass.

Jerry Lewis talking about having a conscious.. now THAT’S hysterical 😂

This is the TRUE Jerry Lewis. I was a Lewis fan, since I was 5 years old. Through my life I heard a couple of stories from people that had worked for him. Both told me that he was a mean person. The Lewis you see in the movies & TV, was ALWAYS acting...including interviews. I didn’t want to believe those stories because I really loved him - in a father/daughter way - and admired him. That all changed when he died. Finding out that he left nothing to all 5 sons & grandchildren. It still makes me angry that he was so mean. This is why I say that this is the true Lewis.

r april I think it’s pretty safe to say that Dean was much loved by many people, both inside and outside the business. If you watch old videos about him on You tube, just about everyone who knew him all said what a genuinely nice guy he was, with a wonderful sense of humour. He was known in private life to be a very quiet, reticent man (very different from his public ‘party animal’ image), but with a very sharp wit who could break everyone up with one of his famous ad-libs! Even Jeannie, whom he often cheated on, spoke warmly of him being; “a wonderful, loving father and husband.... if there was pain, and there was, there was always much more laughter.” How many wronged wives would ever say that about their ex spouse? And significantly, even after he died, which is usually when all sorts of people come out of the woodwork to say what a horrible person someone really was, that never really happened with Dean. Unlike, as can be seen here in this comments section, his ex stage partner Jerry.

Joan was right. That’s why he was so angry. According to his own autobiography Lewis picked a Holliday he could “own”. He latched on to a charity to which no other celebrity was associated and asked his performer friends to “work for free”. He said he planned it all out so he and his name would be synonymous with a Holliday, “...like Santa Clause took Christmas!” He wrote that everybody thought he was crazy, but he would show them. It was always about him and his career. It was never about the kids, other than being a vehicle. However, later I think he convinced himself he was truly a saint for saving children, when what he actually did was successfully stick with his original plan.

Over the years and up until his death, he revealed himself to be a mean, caustic vile man. His last interview, where he had a golden chance to leave a visual record of what was once considered a comic genius, turned into an interview of a rude, mean spirited and bitter man churning out vile garbage to a young interviewer who just wanted to know more about him.

I imagine that every single day of his life was spent in abject misery as a result. Although he raised millions for people in need, and brought laughter and happiness to countless people around the world, he has to be one of the most bitter people ever to walk in the planet. There is more than a touch of bipolar in his personality that accounts for this.

Next time you want to pass yourself off as an amateur theologian, look this over. Better yet, try living it. "Jesus was not restricted by his family attachment but crossed all kinds of boundaries to befriend many ‘others’ and he told his various followers to not just to love their families but to love each other (John 13:34), and those who happen to love their ‘neighbours’ (Mark 12:30, Matt 22:39 & Luke 10:27), and even their enemies (eg.

I was a fan of Jerry Lewis from my childhood when he was Dean Martin’s sidekick until he died. Likewise with Joan Rivers although not from childhood. I was deeply saddened when Joan died unnecessarily having a routine procedure being done. both Jerry and Joan are gone now and I hope Jerry has forgiven her for whatever his issues were with Joan. It’s time for both of them to Rest In Peace and not be creating negativity in my mind about two comedians I loved very much.

Joan Rivers, iconic comedian ......knew how to tell jokes, made people laugh.....Jerry Lewis., made a stupid laugh, knew how to fall down.....We saw all that slapstick comedy in the 30's/40's.....

Jerry was so sarcastic, spiteful, and hateful to Joan and his own sons.

You're very right he was a mean, narcissistic man and she was right also. Without the telethon no one would have ever seen him or known who the "F" he was. It was probably the biggest publicity stunt ever pulled off by anyone in Hollywood. I have nothing but hatred for the man that he would have the nerve to make so much money off those kids and don't kid yourself he was being paid millions too on top of that otherwise he would never have done it.

In 1968 he was on the Joan Rivers show, she interviewed him for 20 mins!
