I never like the guy either. Seemed like an a-hole personality.

Post by: sparky127 on August 21, 2022, 09:06:20 AM: For a slapstick guy, he took himself way too seriously.

Maybe there's a correlation there..

Post by: AKIron on August 21, 2022, 09:13:56 AM: Visit to a small Planet was one of my favorites. When I was 6.

My Dad liked Dean Martin but really did not like Jerry Lewis. I remember him saying when Lewis started those MD telethons that he spent his career mocking people like that.

The topic was actually the five year anniversary of the death of Jerry Lewis. I understand how that might trigger some. :cool:

So what else can anyone add? That's a pretty limited subject.

Do you think people will come here and tell stories about where they were and what they were doing when Jerry Lewis died?

I thought it was about bad comedians.

The ebb and flow of healthy conversation takes many turns. How about celebrities who have not yet succumbed to "unknown causes"?

His 13 year old cousin was a BIG fan apparently and he certainly "made an impression" on her :rofl

I think the proper term is "undead."

Post by: Toad on August 21, 2022, 01:34:25 PM: Jerry Lewis might REALLY be lost. There's no gravesite. He was cremated and ashes given to the family. Who knows where he is now, right? Might have been dumped in some flowerbed.

Maybe, he did teach many that if you really anger someone then don’t sit with your back to the door.

Hmm, reminds me that Al Swearengen’s witticisms could do many here quite a bit of good.
