Jerry Lewis: "Joan Rivers set Jews back 1000 years" // SiriusXM // Raw Dog Comedy 

Great comment, very true

Yep

OH dayum. best post on here.

Set fatherhood back two thousand years. Not two thousand years "ago". Almost very clever

A very unpleasant person.

As the years go by, good people see how loving he was, how much work he did for others.

@@fjccommish Yet he was a horrible monster to his wife and kids. Many have told stories that painted him in a different light. I was a fan of his until all that came out - very sad.

Interesting there hasn't been a biography about him since his death

Who @@fjccommish

Yes, I heard the same thing. Some of her employees had hard times & crisis and Joan Rivers was there financially & emotionally( calling to check on them & invited one to move in for awhile until she got on her feet)! 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.

I waited on her at an upscale restaurant at the Ritz Carlton in White Plains NY years ago and she was an absolute pleasure and left me a 200 tip

She was. Jerry was a jerk. What she actually did was give Jerry a complemaint. She said tough in cheek that he will wouldn't be anybody without the Telethon. Jerry misunderstood the joke. Jerry was a jerk

@@TELEVISIONARCHIVES Agreed

Joan was sharp as a tack and very funny.

I never liked him a perverted rapist 😝

J.L. had 6 sons with first wife Patti.

Dino was the greatest! Always a fan of the old smoothie...We could use a few more of his type these days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

Dino was a class act. He was the coolest member of the Rat Pack. Even cooler than Sinatra. Sinatra was a great singer as was Dino. Dino was first and foremost a family man, and was never the same after the death of his son.

Dean Martin definitely “WAS” a nicer person and more talented too! Always thought Jerry Lewis was a jerk, especially after I read how horrible he was to his kids & in real life! Conceited, condescending, mean & nasty are only a few of the “nicer adjectives” that I can come up with when describing Jerry Lewis! Hollywood disliked him unlike Dean Martin who was so dearly loved by everyone ! Jerry was very jealous of him too! Dean Martin was so funny but talented & just downright “fun!!!!”

* Dino had class! He boycotted JFK's inaugural ball because his pal Sammy Davis Jr. was un-invited because the "liberal" Kennedys felt Sammy's inter-racial marriage to Mai Britt was too controversial. ♣

I wonder who was the worst father in Hollywood, Lewis or Bing Crosby. Their kids will forever be in therapy.

@@keltaruusutravels4024 idk man as horrible as he was at least Lewis’s kids haven’t killed themselves yet, which shows how bad a father he was that THATS a positive

@@byHexted I can't dismiss their mental torture they've been through but you have a point. They have a tiny glimmer of hope not to kill themselves. Got to say you can find a bright spot in any bad situation. 🤣

Children with Ms will remember him as a good man, Nobody's Perfect certainly not Joan Rivers

Bad father!!! That's an understatement.

You are. Absolutely right

Yes, she was appalled that he used "his kids" like PROPS, saying "My kids are DYING" -- which he would say *right in front of them*. One weekend a year, he pretended to be a good guy -- but everyone says the rest of the year he was a complete bastard. It shows clearly in this interview.

To criticize what he did with charity wasn't a joke. Shows who you are that you made that comment.

Even mediocre commedians can take a joke better. The comment was an affront to his skill as a commedian. She did NOT criticize his charity work. She stated that it got him recognition and an extended career that his "comedy" did not earn him. I think Joan is right on.

@@auxpower13 It was self-interest. Without the Telephon, Lewis would have been a non-entity. His acting/comedy career was washed up.

Best thing about the prick's life was that it ended.

Joan was off base on this.

peachion2 My uncle met Jerry back in 1994 and said it didn't go well. He said he was a miserable piece of crap.

peachion2 I’m so glad you think the same as me !!! He was a horrendous horrible little man !!!!

I love him. He is who he is.

60 yrs he helped sick!

He was fucking asshole .

The MDA is a scam.

This guy was an illiterate, no talent scumbag who only got famous due to his association with Dino. His condescending, sanctimonious lectures during the MDA telethons were as repulsive as he was. Good riddance to a true piece of shit!

When you sell your soul for fame and money, you become an ass because you know it doesn't matter in the end.

That's offensive to people with bipolar disorder, which is not a personality disorder.

If that even happened. I have my doubts since Jerry either makes up stories or conveniently forgets others.

Unfortunately Joan was right. It was common knowledge that Jerry started his telethon work purely for the kudos and to aid his career. The money raised and people helped were purely a side bonus to him. The main focus was always Jerry Jerry Jerry. He was also known for completely fabricating stories so it's possible this one is made up. He had in fact met Joan Rivers, there are even clips of them together on RU-vid

He was Paid for the telethon, and his help with MD, over $1 million per YR. It was not him giving free of his time.

He is right, lmao that's how I felt too. Why the fuck would you feel bad for old hag who said Palestinians deserved death?

I HEARD THAT!! 🙌🏽

And it gave her a tremendous ego which was very ugly.

AND NOT DECEASED.

She outted MickeyO...

I never liked Joan Rivers but I think she was rude and sort of obnoxious in her professional life but not in her personal life. As opposed to Jerry Lewis who tried to be perceived as a wonderful humanitarian sweet guy but in real life was a horrible monster raping women and treating people like crap including his own family

Ever think that maybe his kids are assholes and deserved to be disowned?

@@TheRTM They got his genes so...definitely assholes

@@TheRTM No, never thought that.

Doubtful. Jerry Lewis was a class A prick of the highest order. Exploiting disabled children for his own glory.

you dont know shit about anything.

Then I would say he was a progressive liberal because the progressive liberal left is over the top elitist.

james mack lol, own a mirror? Stupid.

james mack and by the way, taking God’s name in vain, is bad enough but to not capitalize His name is well, just indicative of how communist and far left you are. Tisk tisk.

@james mack says,"The reason youre an idiot is because youre lumping an entre group of people together with one quote." Really? That's funny becaue all I hear from the "progressive liberals" is how stupid Trump voters are, how out of touch we are, etc. Talk about lumping everyone together Your problem Jimmy Mack is that you can't accept the fact the Trump won, that Russia was not involved, that the economy was booming under his administration before the current Chinese Virus crisis, that he is not "racist" as you like to call him. In other words, you and others like you are cry babies. Listen, I respect you simply for the fact that you get out and vote (assuming you do by the way). I don't know you from Adam but again, by your rhetoric, your true colors shine through, Red Flag, hammer and sickle and all. So vote away for Biden or whomever the left nominates to run for president. But remember who you are voting for and the trajectory the country will take. You may not have the luxury of freedom of speech anymore. Come to think of it, freedom of speech is hanging by a thread thanks again o progressive liberals who have made hate speech laws because their skin is so pathetically thin they can't take any criticsm or be called names, etc.

Yes indeed! I'm also wondering about how close was He really with all thcoughs children???😰

He was a white bill crosby .

Terrible guy

He is right, lmao that's how I felt too. Why the fuck would you feel bad for old hag who said Palestinians deserved death?

The more I learn about this Lewis character, the more I don't care for him.

@@eliza1826 Not what she said.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8yzfd269QE0.html Lewis is on a talk show with Rivers.

You will be too. That's the way it goes. You're not exempt. He did a lot more in a day than you will in your entire life -- who's irrelevant?

Are you now, or will you ever be relevant?

Keep telling yourself that, Hoss. No one else will.

jett woodward Here in the UK we have a couple of funny women comedians who I like, Jennifer Saunders and the late Victoria Wood. Though to be fair they are not really ‘edgy’ like Joan Rivers, but tend towards more gentle, observational comedy.

Can see the show here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8yzfd269QE0.html

Saxon C Exactly....

@jett woodward Exactly.

GREAT ONE!!!!

It's sad to hear about the way he treated his children but his film The Nutty Professor always makes me laugh.

@@eddie12454 Been a piece of shit forever ........Absolute asswipe of a human being not nearly as entertaining or funny as he thinks he is ......and Joan Rivers was extremely untalented as well .....2 legends in their own minds

I just saw that.. Jerry lied. He sure did.

I watched it today....it was her show..... this guy is so negative.... she spent his career being a clown and spent the rest of his life annoyed at people expected him to be a clown.

i dont know when this incident happened, but the interviewer asked him with surprise "you two never met?" and he says we hadnt. i took that to mean they hadnt met yet at the time of the incident.

@@newwavepop you think Joan rivers invited him on her show and he accepted after he threatened her life? I think you are trying to.make.excuses for a wanna be gangster who was clown his whole career

Was he? It seems to me that they both came out of their break-up pretty successful. Some of those movies Lewis made were pretty big successes. Don't get me wrong. While i love many comedians of his generation, Lewis is not among them. His constant mugging and trying so hard to get a laugh leaves me eye-rolling.

Let’s be realistic. Dino made dozens of films after the breakup. Dino costarred with John Wayne. Jerry only did a handful. Dino had TV shows, Roasts. You always heard Dino’s songs at Christmastime, even to this day. I can’t think of one song of Jerry’s, except for that lame ass song that he would sing at the end of his scam telethon. Dino loved his family and his family loved him. You can’t say that about Jerry. Jerry may have lived longer, but he was a miserable old bastard. I give the win to Dean.

Trekkie Junk Kevin Hart kind of remind me of Jerry got everything but crawling and scratching to get more when you don’t have to.. I’m talking about the Hollywood part.

Dick Manitoba true .. Jerry is truly the Nutty professor in real life. This man was truly sick! That’s a lot of hate to do your sons and your ex-wife like that

Xcept those awful cowboy scenned Dean did they all sucked

Chaplin was a genius. Lewis was just a talentless scumbag.

Classic Narcissist....

@@mikemyros4142 The man was sick. Awful human being. Never liked him. Now I know why.

And the gall to say this proudly in public. SMH

I am British and does this pathetic man have No sense of humour! We always take the Mickey out of everything including ourselves most of all. It’s just funny banter, nobody and nothing is off limits! So what!! People only complain when a raw nerve has been touched and it’s close to the truth! Joan Rivers, we Loved her and a lot of her jokes were close to the truth and she wasn’t afraid to make fun of certain people. We Miss you Joan, the funniest female comic there has ever been.

He was on the percodan then so he probably had no memory of meeting her. Sad to see how graceless he could be. Full marks to the interviewer here.

The bible says you are not responsible for your children look it up and that children are not responsible for their parents

@@puppydog12000 No, it doesn't say that, Jeanie. Nobody in the Bible said it. Not once. Not anywhere. It does say the usual stuff about God being true and everyone else -- particularly you, in this case -- being disingenuous if not an outright liar. 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. Matthew 5:44). The church is local/global with a small/big agenda... but Faith, Hope and LOVE are at the heart of it all.

Jerry Lewis was a deadbeat dad.

@@frankengelhardt7771 She was not more successful. Just funnier

I used to be the first to defend Jerry Lewis for many years but the way he cut his own kids and grand kids out of his will speaks volumes. I never liked her but she probably was right about Lewis. He was a has been by the 70's and only the telethon kept him in the spotlight. Probably explains why he couldn't get any talent to appear live on the telethon as he wasn't very well liked among his peers or the hollywood community.

There's a lot of truth to that statement.

Wow, what a great quote Gammon!

Well that the dumbest non scientific opinion ive heard in ages....2 words....GLASS.....SKIN. and its blie.

I think you put it perfectly!!! You sized up exactly what that fool was all about & to many reports around, just like yours of what a totally a&$hole Jerry Lewis really was! Look how he treated his 6 sons( one committed suicide due his nightmarish early childhood.... beatings & emotional abuse by their self absorbed & narcissistic father!) & one homeless daughter! I think that says it all with how he treated his children! Thank-you for sharing your story about this jerk & “YOU WERE THERE SO SAW IT ALL WITH YOUR OWN EYES”, with us all! I so appreciate it for you saw him & what he was really like( heard stories like this all the time!) his whole career. No wonder Dean Martin didn’t speak to him for 20 yrs & he was hated by his fellow comedians!

oleainatoivo Your reference to Gaza as being a Holocaust is more offensive then anything Joan said. Gaza children died b/c Hamas use's their citizens as human shields. That's their 'Dead Baby Strategy" to sucker in leftists in their propaganda war against Israel. You're quoting her out of context, and Joan say's outrageous things all the time, even about Anne Frank, but no one took her seriously.

getrealman998 You are a Moron! Take a look at the detruction of the palistinians lands and amount of deaths and then Israel... ENOUGH said!!!!

oleainatoivo It is you who is the Moron making sloganeering perverted statements. Israel does its best to reduce civilian casualties (both Israeli and Palestinian) while targeting Hamas terrorists who's charter supports genocide of Jews and annihilation of Israel. It was Hamas that increased their continuation of shooting rockets indiscriminately into Israel towns/cities. No country would or should tolerate that. It was Israel that offered numerous truces during the war even after the first week but Hamas either refused them or broke them. And what does comparing the two sides like a sport's game stat have any bearing on anything? Are you saying your upset that not more Israelis died? In war the losing side has more casualties. That was the case with Germans in WW2. Are you upset the Allies didn't have as many casualties as the Axis powers in WW2? To say 2000 dead where nearly half will probably end up being Hamas militants is a Holocaust perverts all meaning of the word. It also is a huge insult to all the 6 million that perished in the real holocaust in Europe just 7 decades ago (nearly 70% of European Jews). While Israel does everything to defend it's citizens to get them out of harms way the opposite is true with Hamas. Israel protects its citizens by shooting down rockets coming from Gaza while citizens can also take shelter in tunnels or special rooms built in their homes. Hamas underground tunnels were restricted to Hamas personal and not for use to their own civilians even though couple hundred children from Gaza died building those terror tunnels (Child slavery). Hamas intentionally fights amongst its population centers which is war crime using mosque's, hospitals, schools, homes to store and shoot weapons. You have a lot to learn before making such unfettered hyperbolic and sloganeering allegations which is devoid of reality.

oleainatoivo Historiography has already proven what actually took place in Nazi Europe. It's not based on wild baseless accusations like the one's Jew haters make against Israel and Jews. One day hopefully when your mature enough you will realize how offensive and absurd your comments truly are.

getrealman998 Yes... One day hopefully when your mature enough you will realize how offensive and absurd your comments truly are. Maybe One day you will Admit the truth!!!!

I agree. I admire the way she held his feet to the fire about Joan.

@@danielappel1368 She insulted Jerry in the public eye. What was he supposed to do? Maybe he did overreact a little. But still, she started it.

Joan had no right to insult Jerry.

@Ryan Field, yes he did. He smiled when she said "give us the details." Almost a set up

Naw, the young lady doing the interview was not excellent.. Not in the least bit.. She doesn't even have a pleasant speaking voice.. Very nasal-like, robotic tone, which is what you get with most young "mainstream American" females.. Keep in mind this interview was done several years ago.. The actual sound & cadence of speech for most of these so-called "media chicks" is WORSE than ever.. (Very rough on the ears.. Too whiney sounding, with no melody in her voice.. Everything rings flat..) Recognise, I'm not defending Jerry Lewis and his typical over the top narcissism; but praising her as if she did a brilliant job during this brief interview clip is ridiculous.. It's unbelievable how standards for NEARLY EVERYTHING have fallen so low in the U.S.. A sign of the times I suppose..

@@alexvinci169 I was poking fun at @patricklee and @andrewaarons, doofus. They are the ones demanding that @missykitty compared herself to Jerry.

Class act!!ha she couldn't be spontaneous if she tried, the most scripted stand-up ever and the fake "I was going to say something else" at the end of her scripted jokes gets very wearing.

Glenn Slater Agreed, and she always went for the cheap laugh of tearing people down.

I was told years ago by a person who worked at the telethons that Jerry Lewis would never allow the crippled children on the stage with him. 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.

@@christybaker7044 So, he told a bold face lie- no surprises here.

Ficin Jerry's a liar

Harry Mann Jr neither do you.

I think he was always mean

He turned mean as what group of people aged?

I guarantee you even without seeing it, that the child knew he was dying. I have heard that terminally ill children are ahead of adults in these situations. The parents are trying to think of how to bring it up to the kid that he is terminal... but not only does the kid already know, he is at peace with it.

brendalg4 I'm from the UK so I never saw these shows because they weren't broadcast over here, but if this story is true then it does seem to be a highly insensitive thing to say. Regardless of whether or not the child was aware of the seriousness of his/her illness (and surely the level of understanding must depend on the age of the child) it surely can't be right to discuss it so brutally right in front of him/her.

Jerry was NEVER paid for his work with MDA

No matter if the child knew or not, to say “that not knowing if the child knew is insensitive & cruel!” Even if the young child “did in fact know” how cavalier & just downright mean to say that right in front of that poor dying child’s presence!!! I mean, “ WHO SAYS & DOES SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND THINKS MOREOVER THAT IT IS ACCEPTABLE?”Joan Rivers was absolutely right to be aghast at Jerry Lewis’ typically crass, cruel & stupid remark!Jerry Lewis always thought that he was so funny, but he unfailingly reinforced the fact, with that remark in front of that terminally ill child, what a total jerk he was!!! He was not paid for his appearance on each telethon but... make no mistake, he was richly reimbursed for his work on the telethon. People working on the telethon & those in charge widely reported for yrs & yrs., that Jerry Lewis had a credit card given to him by the organization, with no limit. He was allowed to charge whatever he wanted on that credit card & not just during the telethon. Lewis basked in the publicity, being on that telethon, afforded him.

@@brendalg4 How in God’s name would you know that the child knew, and that he was at peace with it. What a stupid thing to say.

@@RTKFilms Go fuck yourself :)

How true & undoubtedly as it was reported, the “real reason he did it!” Publicity was what he was after & what this telethon gave him! Movies & his appearing on venues in his one person comedy act had long since dried up so Lewis needed these telethons to keep in the public eye or you are right, he definitely would be forgotten. As you can see here, sadly not good, positive comments about him either nor was he well liked by his sons, colleagues or the many people that both worked or knew him!

MDA was all he had. Nobody else was interested. That's why he clung to it. He also used it to expense his lifestyle Sad & pathetic

Joan was right, if va comic is doing something that goes out over national television, of course he benefits from it!

yknow i thought that was strange he DID say and confirm that they had never met and yet after this video the Joans/Jerry tv episode showed up. Strange either that he didnt acknowledge it, (or forgot it)

Jerry said, "We HAD never met".

Show me an honest Jew.

Roger Wilco At the end he lost his frigging mind and apparently his family feared him. I would have locked him in a cage.

The ball does not go one inch farther doing that. He was awful on SNL so I knew all his movies would suck which actually turned out to be true. What a shock. The most I saw of his other movies was less than 5 minutes or less each and that was enough.

I found his films and persona deeply embarrassing. He apparently is/was a shit. Used charity to further his career but they all do it.

I don't think it was a routine. His SIX sons were unloved and abused by this man. How very sad that he abandoned his first family and was so obsessed with having a daughter that after he remarried, he adopted a daughter...and left his ENTIRE 50 million dollar fortune to her!

@@av201 Oh, I didn't mean it was that kind of routine! He was clearly a deeply unhappy man. He couldn't accept that his style was old fashioned and not seen as funny by new, younger audiences.

Don't be so hard on your self

What?

njpete987 I agree with u totally about Jerry Lewis. He was a fake inside n out. I never got what was funny about him.

Maybe he wishes he never met her.

oleainatoivo I'm glad they're both dead.

Sure he did. 🙄

Jerry never was funny. He was just an annoying scumbag.

What a Douche Canoe

oh how many forget this

The millions JERRY made from the telethon? Please elaborate.

so he wasn't so nice to his family not leaving his first family anything,maybe they did not care for him also

Jerry said, "We HAD never met".

Lewis is shady - He also always refuses to answer why he got into the telethon business. Crooked business. Here's the Joan Rivers Show of the 60s where Lewis met her. Whatta liar. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8yzfd269QE0.html

I love Jerry and always will ,but I heard from a number of people he was hard to work with ,,,

And Joan Rivers was an angel right?

And there still no cure unfortunately I

I never agreed to it. But now that you mention it, I agree to it.

@Harry Mann Jr, can't judge a book by it's cover.

So true.👏👏👏♥️

cucking funt yeah... 2.3 billion dollars to disadvantaged children, a real piece of work.... fuck head

Lefty For Dead you can still be a philanthropist and be sexist. I know it might be hard for you to comprehend 😂

Brandon Wiley where was he being sexist in this interview?

Why did Jerry Lewis lie about never having met Joan Rivers before ? Here's an old 60's clip where Lewis appears on Rivers' talk show. Did he lie about the rest of the story, too? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8yzfd269QE0.html

You don't know the half of it. I know a woman who made a film with him in the mid-60s and told me many stories of his "Harvey Weinstein-like" tactics!!

Manuela Darazsdi He was a mean person. I never even thought he was funny. You hit it on the nose.

Jerry never took a good look at himself. He was a jerk.

AND Jerry made more money--than "HIS" marathon!!

Stupid remark, Peter.@@peterhuver8392

And you would know this...how? (my brother was in Gary's band, btw)

A very funny guy.. Joan... not so much..

@Harry Mann Jr That's not the point, Einstein.

He wasn’t funny. Slapstick isn’t funny. Just dopey. His act with Dean worked all those years because Dean was the perfect straight man for Lewis’ idiot boy to play off. But once Dean left, all you had was the idiot boy and, on his own, he just wasn’t that funny. He was not a stand up comic at all. Joan Rivers was brilliant at stand up. Lewis could only act crazy and immature - the idiot boy character made him rich. But without a good straight man, the idiot boy wasn’t that funny.

@Harry Mann Jr any imbecile is funnier than Jerry was.

I feel the same about bob hope

Never knew until these comments that Jerry was so spiteful and nasty. Goes to show how certain beloved entertainers have been shaped to give the illusion of being so pure of heart and act as if they are the salt of the earth (to the public), when in reality, to those that really know them, they end up being vile disgusting people. Damn shame. So many of us believed the illusion.

Cynthia Hawkins I'm not surprised to hear how bad he treated people working at your place- his kids were terrified of him never knowing what mood he was in when he came home , he was a firstclass a**hole and I hope someday he will reap what he sowed .

@@MountTheodore72 ..Exactly Sir.....I told my daughter.." I Want My Childhood Back"...Even the soundtrack to my life appears to have been hijacked by way of grooming thru Music and Film..Hollwood SET US UP....These folks ARE ACTORS/Imposters playing a ROLE...They Are a Brand.....We Are The Consumers....we make the mistake of thinking these celebs CARE about us?..We in turn make THEM ridiculously RICH as we empty our minds and our pockets to Worship these idiots.. Can We Do Better? I'm sorry I don't want the distraction of The Band playing while USA Titanic sinks...

I'm sorry you were treated that way; thanks for sharing. My Saintly Mom always said, the truth always surfaces!

@@MountTheodore72 We had one more vile in England.....Jimmy Saville. People knew just what he was like but protected his public image

Best thing Dean Martin did was leave him to join the Rat Pack! Sinatra would take a bullet for his friends. Jerry Lewis would push them in front of the gun!

Yeah Dean knew Jerry was a jerkoff....🤔

I remember the "split" and we all thought Dean was finished, and Jerry would thrive. Just the opposite happened. Dean was not only more talented ... he was also a much better comedian: the definition of "cool." (Lewis' solo movies were abysmal valentines to his own massive ego!)

@Cathy Bradley Well, I'm greedy and not Jewish. So, there it is: Christian greed?

Cathy Bradley What a piece of bigoted garbage you are!
