Jerry Lewis Died.

[Jennykenny]

He seems to have been admired worldwide, but I could never stand him.
A bit creepy.

I think that maybe you need to state the comedian and not the rock n roll singer as many are getting confused about the two jerry lewis's

[Jennykenny]

One is Jerry Lewis and one Jerry Lee Lewis??

[fiction-factory]

You got it wrong on the first thread even when it referred to Jerry lewis the comedian, AngelofHarlem

[tonyav]

Jerry Lewis, Jennykenny.

[Mamyalynne]

Many are getting confused are they?

[tonyav]

Jerry Lee Lewis.

I liked Jerry Lewis - he seemed to be a bit overshadowed by Dean Martin in the early days, but came into his own once they split up.

[Mamyalynne]

RIP Jerry, thanks for the laughter.

[pastafreak]

I didn't realise he was still alive...:-(

[Lie-in King]

RIP Jerry.

[Zacs-Master]

I used to watch him on Saturday mornings and howl with laughter. I think it's why I don't like Jim Carey.....a pale imitation. RIP Jerry.

he was an adept comedian but even when I was young, that silly voice always used to grate on me - something infantile about him. He made a better nutty professor than Eddie Murphy, though.

[Patsy33]

I remember me and my sister chuckling our heads off watching him and Dean Marti in their funny films! Rip Jerry.

[Jennykenny]

Pastafreak, Yes, same here, I thought he had died years ago.
I remember Gary Trudeau sending him up years ago in Doonesbury, as although he spent time raising money for charity, he was always front and centre - me, me, and me.

[Garaman]

I remember it the other way around to maggiebee, and thought Lewis overshadowed Martin when they were a double act. After they split I was surprised when Martin became the more successful of the two.

RIP Jerry

RIP, but comedian ? he never raised a smile in me let alone a laugh, just cringe.

reading the reviews, I'm impressed to find that he taught Steven Spielberg and George Lucas how to direct. Literally: he gave university classes they attended.

[saintpeter48]

Not my cup of tea at all, just very childish.
I saw him give an interview a year or so ago and he was a right old grumpy man, every bit a male diva.

As we know from the endless debates about humour on here - comedy is very selective, and one man's laughter is another man's groans.

I found Jerry Lewis about as funny as dysentery on a coach holiday, and Dean Martin to be arrogant and creepy (I never forgave his rudeness to the young Rolling Stones on his show) - but I am sorry for his many fans that JL has died, RIP.
