It's so great seeing Jerry Lewis in his comedic prime. This clip reminds me why I never missed a Jerry Lewis movie as a child (in the 60's). And both Jerry and Andy move great!
OMG - would someone PLEASE make SOMEONE put out DVDs of Andy's shows....this is priceless and I remember the first time I saw it...I was young, but loved Jerry and even more, LLLLLOOOOVVVVEEED ANDY!!!! I would pay a pretty penny for a collection of Andy's shows......any one else???????
Adorable! Loved watching Andy & Jerry together! The singing, the dancing, the snapping, the tapping, the thrusting, the "no" thrusting, the smiling, the laughing, the yelling...Hey,Lady!!!
No politics. No race baiting. No attacks. Two talented people performing for an audience. How did we come to where we are now? so much has been lost. Today's so called talent can not hold a candle to the class, talent, and delight that this simple 6 minute skit generates.
Mr. Andy Williams is one of the reasons I wish I was born in the earlier years. I'm just 32 and have just recently stumbled upon this gem in youtube. I must admit I love this kind of stuff more than the music that is being produced today. I wish I could have met him. *sniff. i also appreciate Mr. Jerry Lewis' comedy. Great talents here.
I always thought of Andy Williams as kind of a stick-up-the-ass fud, someone my parents listened to but now I can't get enough of these clips. He was actually kind of cool and had a lovely voice and a sense of humor that his guest stars could play off of. Lewis made the most of it in this clip and both of them are hilarious.
"I'm not used to be yelled at" Awww! Andy is so adorable like was he ever not just the cutest, buttoned-up, sweet guy we see on his shows? If he was don't tell me. He and Jerry are sweet together. It's hard to watch either Dean or Jerry adlib in the '60s because invariably they throw in a jab about the break up. It's 2016 and it's still too soon.
After you said, "this is how I lost my partner" look into his eyes. They suddenly veiled with tears and she ran a finger over one of her eyes as if to chase them away. Jerry Jerry ... how much pain did you keep feeling inside?

This was VERY COOL! I really miss Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis together! They had some wonderful dance numbers in there films! Dean and Jerry could really move! This reminds me of M&L in a lotta ways! The cool straight man and the comic! GREAT STUFF!
Didn't Jerry Lewis attribute a severe back injury to an appearance on an Andy Williams Show where he took a pratfall and subsequently developed an addiction to Percodan? Was this the episode? Andy was a marvelous entertainer and probably the greatest interpreter of the music of Henry Mancini during the 60's and 70's.
MrImiller07 yes but it happened at the end after the chorus bit. this clip has been cut before the fall. they used water guns for the gag and the floor was slippery. shawn levy, lewis’ biographer, said it was from this event. lewis claimed it was from a fall performing at the sands hotel.
But it still worked Joseph! Because he does it in a special way! Because there was something about Mr. Lewis that made him different from anybody else!
All the old GREATS worked their way up sweating and learning so their PERSONALITY on stage seemed natural. Jerry, red skeleton, jim neighbors or andy just to name a few had their public face and their private. Completely professional and infinitely talented
