    Jerry Lewis was a riot. Give Dean Martin credit. He was the perfect set up man. And Lewis would acknowledge that after Dean Martin passed.

    Jerry is the epitome of youth when he did these shows. When I see him here I think, how can this guy age, get old, with all this energy and excitement. It’s not possible, is it? Surely if one person can escape the seeds of time then it’s got to be this live bomb on stage, giving it his all. Then before you know it, in the blink of an eye, he’s gone. Life taken away. Keep smiling folks because our time here is short. This is a sad and melancholic reminder of that. Make the most of it everyone.

Their movies were good ( some of them anyway) but stuff like this and their live show ( see the Copa show and the band snippets of the Colgate show) were just exuberant. Brilliant! They worked with Bing and Bob quite often. While I like the Road movie boys they don't have the verve of M and L. Thanks!

    For a couple seconds, Dean looked genuinely concerned with Bing's sudden flee at the approach of Jerry Lewis. Around 40 seconds in he had an expression of almost-fear or embarrassment on his face, wasn't Bing one of his idols? I do notice that in times where Bing/Dean are singing together, Dean really blends his voice in with Bing, like it's almost difficult to differentiate who is singing, Bing or Dean. That's why I really like it when Frank and Dean sing together, Deam doesn't have to blend in with Sinatra and really takes advantage of his beautful vocal vibrato, and Sinatra does his thing, which is amazing every time.I'm young, but man, what classics

      Variety Show I noticed that too. I know it was a comedy act, and Jerry was the more 'crazy' half of the duo, but an artist surely has to show some respect to other performers, but I feel that Jerry often went too far in his antics and didn't seem to know where to draw the line and rein it in. I'm sure there were quite a few times when Dean must have felt embarrassed by Jerry onstage, especially with such big and well-established (at the time) stars as Hope and Crosby. After all, they were a double act and the things that Jerry did would have reflected on Dean as his partner.

    • @pamelahawley4844
      @pamelahawley4844 3 роки тому

      Yes and here are more great things about him. He is prolific!
      The Not-So-Nutty Professor
      In addition to his varied entertainment, philanthropic and family responsibilities, Jerry has also served as an adjunct professor at the University of Southern California, where he taught a graduate course in film direction. The Total Film Maker, a book based on recordings of 480 hours of his classroom lectures, was published by Random House in 1971. And since the book hit the stands, it became mandatory reading in every university and film school in the United States, as well as Continental Europe. The Films of Jerry Lewis book is one of the most comprehensive studies of one man’s body of work in the motion picture industry.
      The “Real” Jerry Lewis
      Behind the pratfalls, the jokes and the public persona, Jerry Lewis is a devoted family man who always carries snapshots of his family in his pockets for luck. The entertainer has a daughter, Danielle, born in 1992, in addition to five sons - Gary, Ron, Scott, Chris and Anthony - and several grandchildren and one great-granddaughter.
      A frequent MDA Telethon highlight is a performance by Jerry's number-one son and his band -- Gary Lewis and the Playboys -- and the Telethon cameras regularly catch Sam and Danielle sitting in their customary front row seats. It’s also no coincidence that the official Jerry Lewis Web site, www.jerrylewiscomedy.com, is hosted by Jerry’s son, Chris.
      Jerry is famous for his love of children, and the immense popularity he enjoys among them is hardly surprising. “I get paid for doing what children are punished for,” he reasons. “In doing this, I can help them get rid of their hostility quotient.” Or, as one 14-year-old fan put it: “Jerry is just a nice big kid who makes us laugh. Kids love him because he’s really one of us.”
      Jerry summed it up himself when he said - in response to the countless well-wishers who wrote to commemorate his 76th birthday in March 2002: “76? You got the birth date right, but the age is wrong! I’m only 9 … remember? Always have been, always will be.”
      The motto that best expresses Jerry’s ongoing love affair with humanity is this: “I shall pass through this world but once. Any good, therefore, that I can do or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer nor neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.”
      ---
      Humanitarian Awards
      “Jerry Lewis is a man for all seasons, all people and all times. His name has, in the hearts of millions, become synonymous with peace, love, and brotherhood.” The late Secretary of Defense Les Aspin, then a congressman from Wisconsin, penned those words in 1977 in the conclusion of his nomination of Jerry for the Nobel Peace Prize. Never in the history of show business has an entertainer been so honored.
      In 1984, the government of France officially recognized that country's legendary admiration of Jerry Lewis by giving him its two most distinguished awards. First, Lewis was made a Commander in the Order of Arts and Letters, and was extolled by French Minister of Culture Jack Lang for his “human qualities and generosity. You are a child’s friend, and a model for adults.” Later that same year, Jerry was inducted into the Legion of Honor by the decree of President Francois Mitterand. Legion membership honors individuals whose accomplishments demonstrate extraordinary public service.
      Back in the United States, on June 8, 1985, the Defense Department presented Jerry with its highest civilian award - the Medal for Distinguished Public Service. The citation that accompanies the engraved gold medal reads, in part: “His service has had a profound effect on the youth of our country, on men and women in uniform today and their children, and on those children who shall one day serve our country in its defense.”
      In December 1996, the American Medical Association presented its Lifetime Achievement Awards to Jerry and MDA “for significant and lasting contributions to the health and welfare of humanity.” Jerry was honored for his decades of dedication to MDA, becoming only the fifth person in AMA history to receive this award.
      As National Chairman of MDA, Jerry has devoted two-thirds of his lifetime to the effort to eradicate neuromuscular diseases. His unflagging, year-round work for this cause has endeared him to millions. Under Jerry’s leadership, the Association has been - and will continue to be - the recognized leader in the worldwide fight against these diseases.
      Legendary Entertainer
      One of the most successful performers in show business - with worldwide box office gross receipts of his films in excess of $800 million - Jerry Lewis has received global acclaim for his unique ability and style with both comedy and drama. Best known for his comedic genius, he's considered among the elite in the history of comedy. He has an exceptional feel for comic timing and possesses all the other unique qualities of a great clown. Critic Harriet Van Horne described Jerry’s screen persona as “a sort of witless genius,” while Hollywood director Leo McCarey called Lewis “the Pied Piper of the business, the heir to the mantle of Charlie Chaplin and Harold Lloyd.”
      In 1991, Jerry received two impressive honors as the show business industry recognized his lifetime of achievement. On January 13, he received the Comic Life Achievement Award during cable television’s annual ACE Awards. The National Association of Broadcasters paid tribute to Jerry by inducting him into the Broadcast Hall of Fame on April 17.
      Jerry was inducted into the International Humor Hall of Fame in 1992. And on February 22, 1998, Jerry received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Comedy Hall of Fame.
      In 1999, legendary film director Martin Scorsese presented Jerry Lewis with a career Golden Lion award at the Venice International Film Festival. Lewis was honored as “an extraordinary example of the total filmmaker: scriptwriter, director and protagonist of his films, therefore fully responsible for his work.”
      He kept giving and giving and giving to us. He loved so much. We are so grateful to him and his life.
      POSITIVE CRITICS ON JERRY LEWIS
      Not always. Exhibit A from 1950:
      "For all its madness, there is method in the Lewis artistry. If he mugs outrageously and takes stage falls with an elementary aplomb, his antics are seasoned by a real sense of the comic and a rare appreciation of the non sequitur." --Jack Gould, The New York Times, 9/18/1950

      Sixty-five years later, here's Exhibit B:
      Lewis is an artistic genius of visual and scenographic inventiveness, comic fury, technical originality, and philosophical perspective; but he’s also a furious, reckless, regressive, id-plumbing revealer of the depths of his character by way of demands on his body. And this full-spectrum artistic commitment - from the ideal to the carnal, from the sophisticated to the crude, from the pursuit of an artistic conception to the force and price of personal drive and desire - is his crucial connection to, and inspiration of, the new world of young filmmakers. -- Richard Brody, The New Yorker 10/8/15

    Bing Crosby very handsome man and Jerry Lewis also was an attractive man. An innocent misunderstanding between two great entertainers. But geez what an abundance of talent these four gentleman had. As an avid Bing Crosby fan (my favourite entertainer ever) I think he's the King, but I certainly do appreciate the talent and charisma of Dean, Jerry and Bob. Dean was an underrated actor, he could play drama and comedy with the best of them and that voice wow. I don't know if Jerry wrote or contributed to the material for his films, but he was an immensely gifted comic. Bob was a natural born entertainer with a great singing voice and a brilliant emcee. Bing was for me the one who could do it all and better than anybody else, singing, acting, comedy, drama, ad libbing and hosting. What we miss with these four gentlemen gone they were brilliant.

    Jerry Lewis is and was the only comedian on this planet that could bring out belly laughs from me. Even as a child I thought he was the funniest Man alive!! I absolutely adored him. And Dean could only stand there and take it!! And he did it with style!! Sad that there will never be anything like them ever again!!!

    Jerry Lewis manages to slip in "Leonard Barr" in his shout-out, who was not only a comedian, but Dean Martin's uncle. You can see him in "Diamonds Are Forever".

    Wonderful! I'm so thrilled when these old videos show up. So much of that time wasn't filmed or recorded and it is such a loss of history. I never got to go to a show-wasn't into Dean back then. Can see why he eventually had to leave this partnership though. Now, I am a total Dean Martin fan. and love catching these videos so much! Read the book Memories are made of this by his daughter Deana.. I did get to see Vegas when I was about 17 before they took the great places like the Sands down.

      @wodgerdog646 6 років тому +1

      Bing Crosby had one of the best and longest lasting careers in Hollywood, I don't think he was blown away by any other entertainers, ever, and as history has shown Bing was one of the best ad libbers in the business, they were reading out donations which is a long way from using cue cards.

    Beautiful stuff! Unique zany comedy gold. Priceless wit, talent and wonderful chemistry inducing a constant smile across my face. Robin William's was the only one who came close to Lewis's speed but no one could touch his unique high art slapstick except Keaton or Chaplin perhaps. I adored these two as a kid growing up in London and was never happier when their films came on my little black & white tv. You just transported me back and nothing's changed watching these two .. and yet everything's changed. Gratitude for uploading all on your neat channel, from a Brit in Toronto .
