      sooke54 you're kidding, right? Jerry was shooting him daggers and being passive aggressive that whole time. Watch the one where Short came on as Glick. Lewis was so keen to upstage him he kept stepping on his jokes and forced Short out of character. Short is a pro, though. He managed to kill even with a hostile straight man in Lewis.

    Lewis was one of the greatest comedians of all time. He kept a 24 hour marathon going until his 80s. The MDA should've given him a phenomenal swan song when he stopped the telethons, and there's some talk (although I've never seen confirmations) that they were less than respectful about it.
