Such great stories from one of the best men ever. Absolutely love his timeless classics!!!! I was actually forced to watch or listen to him. 1 tv, and one old fm radio. So my brother and I had to watch or listen to whatever mom n dad were listening to. I certainly miss this storyteller. 100% clean but hysterical stories!!!!
Jerry Clower was a WWII NAVY Veteran. Was a radio operator and was in a good many Pacific engagements. Got to see 2 times and he would stay after his shows and take pictures and sign autographs till everyone got one . He talk with everyone too . A Great story teller and Good Man ...
Jerry's grandson,Jayree was a good friend of mine growing up. I've eaten lunch at his house in Liberty Ms several times,he was a strong, funny, kind man,the type of man we need more of in today's world. RIP Mr. Jerry
Grandfather knew Jerry Clower. He was a Baptist preacher for many years in SW Miss. Liberty, McComb, Gloster. He loved Jerry Clower. I grew up hearing Mercy Mercy Uncle Versey. Never knew who Uncle Versey was. Lol
I watched Mr. Jerry Clower do a show at the 1984 County Fair in Hohenwald, Tennessee. He was wearin' one of his fancy leisure suits and cowboy boots. He never said the first cuss word had the crowd in stitches the whole time he was on stage. It was one of the best comedy shows I'd ever seen in my life. That was 50 years ago and I can still picture him on the stage a cuttin' up and carryin' on. There'll NEVER be another Jerry Clower. ❤
Met him several times in Jackson Miss. he was a nice respectful everytime. Once had lunch at hotel in Jackson saw him he sat next table over. we had a nice conversation. Jerry was a great artist, missed his home spun stories.
Clean, family fun. Now you can’t watch network tv for all the foul language and other “unfittin” things. Jerry Clower, Red Skelton, Tim Conway and such had a talent that went far deeper than most today.
Always puts a smile on my face. My dad bought every Jerry clower lp he could find when I was a kid. We’d sit and listen for hours to his stories.. a true southern legend ..
When u was teenager, I worked for my Dad. We traveled all over the state remodeling strip malls. I drove my truck wherever we went. That way I could run around wherever we went. (Usually gone a few weeks at a time. On obe trip, he rode with me to go turn the project back over to the owner and GET PAID!!!!. He loved Jerry. We listened to every cassette that Mr. Clower had out. Great times working for my Best Friend (my Dad). I learned to like Jerry Clower. My Dad and I laughed ALOT! Miss Ya Daddy. Thanks Mr. Closer. You brought me and my Dad very close!
This famous comedian came to our little county fair every year. After the show he would hang around for hours and talk to everyone and would usually go to dinner afterwards with some guests. My grandmother and I met him so many times that I thought he was part of the family. RIP old friend!!!
I ran sound for him, on two different occasions, many years ago, in a small, local venue. He was just the same off stage, as he was on it. I was impressed with how nice and friendly he was, to the "help".
My uncle who grew up on the Louisiana-Mississippi line on the Louisiana side opposite of Vicksburg, Miss. My uncle looked so much like Jerry and he talked like him and told his jokes. They had family friends in common. My uncle passed away three years ago and as he was a second father to me I miss him dearly so when I really start missing him I watch Jerry and it makes it a bit better.
I had the pleasure to see Jerry perform at an arts and crafts festival in Georgia in the summer of 1992. I will never forget sitting in the grass in a field in front of the stage.
Back in my driving days over into the S.E. I used to hear Jerry on a radio station. One day I found a display of his cassettes at a TA in Georgia… after that I kept my eye open for new ones to play in my Semi 👍❤️
Saw Jerry at a farm show in Goldsboro NC in the early ‘80s. Came out in a baby blue tuxedo and by the time he finished had the whole place rolling on the floor.
Yazoo City, MS native here. My dad built custom cabinets in his house on Easy Street. Mr. Clower was a nice, humble man who lived up to his Christian faith.
He does need to be in a Hall of Fame. The man was awesome. Great Jesus Christ man. But yes he needs to being a hall of fame. Thank you for saying that. Whoever did
I sat next to jerry on the big delta flights as he used to say . Not once but 3 times he remembered me and was as nice as a man could be. Wonderful person .
Ole Brother Jerry Clower! Man, what a class act he was. A Southern Christian Gentleman, a Member of the United States Navy during World War Two, and one of the finest storytellers ya ever heard IN YOUR LIFE!!! I did some of my younger years, listenin' to him tell one funny story after another. Some of my favorites were Knock him out, John, Bunk Ledbetter, Newgene the lying Ledbetter, & Ole Slantface. There's so many of 'em, that he told, that I can't remember 'em all...but there's one thing about it: Brother Jerry Clower never made a habit of using foul language, in order to tell one of his stories. He was not only a very Devout Christian Man, but he was something else that I like:He was a Deep-Water Baptist! He believed in dunkin' somebody UNDER the Water, when they were gettin' baptized. They didn't sprinkle ya. No, sir! They dunked you UNDER! I'm an old-timer, and I believe in the old-fashioned way of doing things.
My Uncle Buck Brown played football with Jerry. Had a photo in his house of them side by side in their uniforms. Jerry Clower was one of a kind. Loved his comedy as a kid and still funny at 60yo.
I was gettin ready to take daddy to see Jerry in Raleigh, N.C. But Mr. Jerry passed away 2 weeks before that. I woulda loved to see him in person. Now I miss him and daddy. RIP to 2 good men.
He is so much like my ex father in law (from the greatest generation, served in Korea) from North East Mississippi. He made that same holler and talked just like him. Run off a dog the same way! I'll miss Pa for the rest of my days. He was a preacher and had a servants heart.
I wish, oh how I wish I still had his record albums . . . (Lost them in the divorce, of course.) His short recitation to young people at graduation is Absolutely Priceless.
I would listen to WWL out Naw Awlins Charlie Douglas and the Over the Road Gang Show when I hauled horses to the race tracks . Charlie would play Jerry Clower frequently.
Yes loved him net him twice at Mississippi college my college at parkway Baptist and at southwestern seminary my friend so funny great man great Christian
I played a gig with The Smokey Paul (Hank WIlliams' guitar player) Band on the FL panhandle with Jerry. We did a set, Jerry did one, we did one, he did another etc. The last joke he told in his first set was "Knock Him Out, John" and it took me 3 songs to get my act together and play my piano. RIP Jerry, you throwed a cravin' on me.
no idea how the algorithm landed here for me but so glad it did. My dad introduced me to Jerry Clower as a young man and it was the source of many inside jokes between us.
Yes it is! Clean comedy of the past from a Christian man like Jerry Clower was very entertaining and amusing to a very large group of people of all ages. But what we bunch of hillbillies don’t find funny is “meditation music”!!!
I ran into Jerry waiting for an elevator at the Marriot Hotel in Nashville, he was quit rude because it was slow. He wore a star of David with a cross in it. I thought about asking him why he wore it ...
There will never be another Jerry Clower he is a true legend.
he knows how to milk a weak joke, southern funny i guess
@@ronkistner2672if you don't get it, you don't get it..
One of the greatest one of the only comedians we were allowed to listen to when I was a kid no bad language just good ol country humor
He once said he never did a show on Saturday night that he couldn't do in church on Sunday morning. GREAT southern story teller...
Such great stories from one of the best men ever. Absolutely love his timeless classics!!!! I was actually forced to watch or listen to him. 1 tv, and one old fm radio.

Jerry was a master of good ole cornball country humor . 😂😂I mean that with the deepest respect . He is an absolute legend . ❤❤❤
I love Jerry Colwer ❤😂
Don’t get no better than Jerry. RIP 1998.
Jerry Clower was a WWII NAVY Veteran. Was a radio operator and was in a good many Pacific engagements. Got to see 2 times and he would stay after his shows and take pictures and sign autographs till everyone got one . He talk with everyone too . A Great story teller and Good Man ...
Needs to be in the Country Music Hall of Fame
He’s not? How????!!!!
For Shure 😊
He is a member of the country music Hall of Fame he was inducted in 1998
Yes completely agree I grew up listening to Jerry. Didn't have to use foul language real life stories
@@loribarker1376 you can't spell

Wow. I grew up in Pike, Amite, and Lincoln County, but never got to meet him.

My family and our friends had listened to Jerry since the 70s. He would have fit right into the family. 🙂
Cornbread will turn dogs into killers......
Cool story bros. 😎
I got to see him in Paragould, Arkansas not many years before he passed. I've seen several comedy acts live over the years. He was one of the best! 😊
@mela 1:54 niepaigehighfill-gassa8638
Paragould still have a State CMV inspection station?
It's probably one of Arkansas' most profitable offices.
Theres not another comedian like him. He is awesome.
When I was a kid I was a big fan of Hee Haw . Jerry was on from time to time. Loved watching him. Great comedian
Clean, family fun. Now you can’t watch network tv for all the foul language and other “unfittin” things. Jerry Clower, Red Skelton, Tim Conway and such had a talent that went far deeper than most today.
Always puts a smile on my face. My dad bought every Jerry clower lp he could find when I was a kid. We’d sit and listen for hours to his stories.. a true southern legend ..
Preached a great sermon at my church. Had the congregation laughing and crying.
Jerry was the greatest comedian to ever do it and the whole family could listen to him.
When u was teenager, I worked for my Dad. We traveled all over the state remodeling strip malls. I drove my truck wherever we went. That way I could run around wherever we went.

This Gentleman ... was a CHAMP. The real deal, through and through
I heard this story about 1000 times and it’s great every one.
Love Jerry. My grandpa was a Ledbetter
A true king of comedy
I remember listening to him on my grandpa's front porch with him 30 years ago. Oooo the memories his voice brings back!!! 🥲
I had the pleasure to see Jerry perform at an arts and crafts festival in Georgia in the summer of 1992. I will never forget sitting in the grass in a field in front of the stage.

Lord have mercy I did enjoy listening to that man. Seen him in concert one time. I'll never forget it.
*Blessings, to all who listen to these beautiful songs, GOD bless me with all my heart I wish the best for your lives 🙏🙏❤🙌*
First time I ever heard him was just now...and I laughed...need more of this in today's times..laughter without filth
Reminds me so much of my daddy. I love this man and always will.
Saw Jerry at a farm show in Goldsboro NC in the early ‘80s. Came out in a baby blue tuxedo and by the time he finished had the whole place rolling on the floor.
I knew this one but had to hear it again when it showed on my feed.classic
Jerry Clower, Legend.
Oh my word!
My parents had an album of this guy way back in the early 80’s! I played that thing every evening until I practically wore it out!
Yazoo City, MS native here. My dad built custom cabinets in his house on Easy Street. Mr. Clower was a nice, humble man who lived up to his Christian faith.
The South just ain't been the same since we lost Jerry Clower. RIP Jerry.
Grew up listening to Jerry just wish there was more people like him
Enjoy listening to him and Justin Wilson
Them & lewis grizzard
A True Class Act and Comedian!
I remember listening to Jerry as a little girl. My parents didn't mind, he didn't curse or talk about things a little girl shouldn't hear.
He was hilarious and clean. I love his bit about meeting a womens libber
Love those southern yarns, classic Americana. Nice rug, too.
I couldn't wait to get home from school everyday to put his record on and laughed at him for hours HE IS A TRUE COMEDIAN and truly missed😢
I've been listening to him for 50 years now and I laugh at jokes like this was the first time I heard it.😅 I was happy to have known who he was ❤❤
The greatest country comedian ever. Put him in the grand ole Opry.
dayuuum but we miss Jerry so much!! never be another like him!! RIP, JERRY CLOWER!!😂😂
We need comedians like Jerry now. Ain't nothing like good clean comedy.
Clean country humor. A laugh a minute. Can't get any better than Jerry Clower.
My momma played fiddle once at a barn down south and this man was there making people laugh it was one of my happy memories
He does need to be in a Hall of Fame. The man was awesome. Great Jesus Christ man. But yes he needs to being a hall of fame. Thank you for saying that. Whoever did
My late grandma was a year ahead of him in high school. Said they were all nice people.
When a comedian has to laugh with the audience he just slayed... the greatness.
Man the memories of Jerry Clower, this one takes me back
I sat next to jerry on the big delta flights as he used to say . Not once but 3 times he remembered me and was as nice as a man could be. Wonderful person .
You can not replace the comedy of yesterday. Others have tried, but failed
I can listen/ watch this over and over again!👍👍

JERRY CLOWER WAS A TRIP, AND A NICE FELLOW TOO - BRAVO!!!!!!!
My Uncle Buck Brown played football with Jerry. Had a photo in his house of them side by side in their uniforms. Jerry Clower was one of a kind. Loved his comedy as a kid and still funny at 60yo.
I was gettin ready to take daddy to see Jerry in Raleigh, N.C. But Mr. Jerry passed away 2 weeks before that. I woulda loved to see him in person. Now I miss him and daddy. RIP to 2 good men.
What fun to come across this video! Jerry Clower & Lulu Roman visited my home church growing up-autographs in my bible- good people good memories!
He is so much like my ex father in law (from the greatest generation, served in Korea) from North East Mississippi. He made that same holler and talked just like him. Run off a dog the same way! I'll miss Pa for the rest of my days. He was a preacher and had a servants heart.
Great story teller! Thank you, Jerry!
I wish, oh how I wish I still had his record albums . . . (Lost them in the divorce, of course.)
His short recitation to young people at graduation is Absolutely Priceless.
Born in 84. My dad and I use to listen to him on cassette tapes traveling. Loved him. He was the first comedian I loved to listen too
Him describing supper makes me hungry!
I would listen to WWL out Naw Awlins Charlie Douglas and the Over the Road Gang Show when I hauled horses to the race tracks . Charlie would play Jerry Clower frequently.
Yes loved him net him twice at Mississippi college my college at parkway Baptist and at southwestern seminary my friend so funny great man great Christian
Clean wholesome, stack of 8tracks.
He was THE BEST!!!!! RIP Jerry…. You are still missed and loved…
Every thing he ever said was hilarious!
Now everything’s so filthy, you can’t even watch any of them. Sad. I miss the older times.
I saw him once and he was funny!!!! You can be funny without being vulgar. Rest in peace Sir!!!!!
Watched him live in Picayune, MS back in the 70s. He was hilarious!! I enjoyed every minute of it!
Thanks for sharing.
Just an awesome classic to hear!
Man, I have never seen this big hunk of man before.
But he sure leaves an impression, here in 2024.
Love that dude. He is amazing dude.
I played a gig with The Smokey Paul (Hank WIlliams' guitar player) Band on the FL panhandle with Jerry. We did a set, Jerry did one, we did one, he did another etc. The last joke he told in his first set was "Knock Him Out, John" and it took me 3 songs to get my act together and play my piano. RIP Jerry, you throwed a cravin' on me.
I got to see him and Tammy Wynette at a Concert at Dollywood. I got him to sign my Ticket stub. He was the nicest man you ever wanna meet
First time I heard him my daddy had a cassette tape of him
Loved this man growing up. Listened to him all the time.
Never got to see him, but I still love him!!!💜💛
Of course Jerry didn't know it but I listen to him so much as a kid I felt just like we was kin. He sure was a fine feller
A legend! I miss humor like this so much!
This is one of the funniest men in the world.
Whooooo!! Haaawwww!! Loved this guy.
Good clean and funny as it gets
no idea how the algorithm landed here for me but so glad it did. My dad introduced me to Jerry Clower as a young man and it was the source of many inside jokes between us.
Love Jerry! Subscribed.
I worked in Liberty…he was The Best😎
That never gets old❤
He so funny i loved his story about the lizard Boots 😂😂😂😂
It’s amazing what southerners find funny.
Yes it is! Clean comedy of the past from a Christian man like Jerry Clower was very entertaining and amusing to a very large group of people of all ages. But what we bunch of hillbillies don’t find funny is “meditation music”!!!
I remember setting in my buddys truck listening to Jerry on the stereo system laughing til we cried instead of a fishing 🎣 😅 R I P Mr. CLOWER.
We need country comedians again 😢
Wish I had a dollar for every time I listened to Jerry as a kid. My dad loved him and played his albums often when I was a boy in the 70s.
I ran into Jerry waiting for an elevator at the Marriot Hotel in Nashville, he was quit rude because it was slow. He wore a star of David with a cross in it. I thought about asking him why he wore it ...
