I just saw that Jerry Lewis has passed. He was a very funny guy. Heaven has a new comedy team.
France will be in mourning until further notice.

Never did like him, he wanted to piss all over the Southern States as he was flying back to California after a show on the East Coast. This was said on the Johnny Carson Show. Yes France will mourn, but not I.

Just read that he became quite senile in his last few years.For some reason I always thought he was just more silly than funny.He had a lot of fans though.I just wasn't one of them.

One goofy guy, sure got his share of laughs, and raised a crap load of money with the Telethons he did.

Loved some of his solo movies (Delicate Delinquent, Nutty Professor, etc.) - when he was allowed to get creative, he became more funny than silly. I also find Dean Martin kind of hard to stomach in those earlier pictures. He did a lot for humanitarian causes, too - like muscular dystrophy. Too bad he never finished his anti-fascist/Nazi movie, The Day the Clown Cried.

I was a fan of both Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin.Together and seperate.
I was a kid being entertained and I didn't care about poltics or their
off screen lives.They weren't role models.Now John Wayne was a role model.
And I was enamored by the suave style of Bing Crosby and Fred Astair.
I will miss Jerry Lewis for the fun he and his cohorts brought to me
as a young child and adolesent.

Among his other accomplishments, he taught movie making at USC in the 1970s. Those students were fortunate to have him.
