Jerry and Dean was more in the parents age group not exactly cutting edge for a kid born in 1961. By the time we were old enough to get the humor he was already that telethon guy . sure he was doing movies on his own in the 1960s " Dont lower the bridge raise the Water" and "hook line and sinker " but he had already left Dean. He even had a chain of short lived movie theaters in the late 1960s and early 70s . He was at his best in Dean and Jerry movies The Stooge and Thats my Boy. That were in reruns by the 1960s and seen on the 4:30 movie by the 1970s He did so much For MDA charity and deserves iconic status for his unselfish pledge and dedication to the cause.

@@daniellebourgade8701 Danielle, I am absolutely certain that his estate was in serious trouble. EVERYTHING had to be sold exceptionally quickly and I feel that his creditors were kind enough never to make this public. Take a look at the interview with the lady who bought his house originally. So many things were left in the house and she made only a few minor adjustments before reselling again with some very personal items still present. This nice lady clearly buys property very suddenly, then moves on and is at great pains to express what a lovely lady SanDee Lewis was. His daughter is always the one to appear to discuss the estate - leaving me to think his widow is too distressed. This may well account for why his sons were left out of the will and why he seemed so careworn and bitter in later life as well as his grievous health problems. Frankly, I think the way in which Lewis was treated was disgraceful. His every move was demonised and whilst he was no angel whatsoever, the wrongdoings of his contemporaries were conveniently glossed over, whilst he was ceaselessly criticised. I hope the future sees his body of work recognised and assessed for what is was and still is - quite brilliant and groundbreaking.

The '82 Jerry is amazing. He could turn it on when he wanted to--or maybe better to say he turn off all the tiring, boorish behavior when he felt like it. He's really funny here. Letterman is also being gracious and letting Jerry riff all he wants to because he knows how good it is. Like when he had Andy Kaufman on, Dave would get let him go, feed him a benign comment or two like Carson was so good at. So altogether a great show business performance!
