- Jerry Lewis had s short lived talk show in 1963 and following the practice of the time, Jerry did a live "in show" two minute commercial for the new Polaroid Colorpack camera. Jerry admitted in the commercial that he was a camera nut and enjoyed doing the commercial. He left the camera on the desk where it was visible for the rest of the show.
Pictures of his dog and his cat “oh, and the family of course”. LOL. He was way ahead of social media.
I have this one. So sad they discontinued the film, the photos were beyond marvelous! It's a messy camera to use, but nothing today can deliver such pleasure in its use.
SiriusXAim hi! I was wondering could you show how the developed pictures look like?
He wasn’t kidding. That camera was about 1/3rd the weight of its predecessor.
Impressive. Cool.
Amazing. Thanks for posting this.
Jerry Lewis was signed by ABC to host a big-budget (reportedly the biggest budget ever given to a weekly TV series) two-hour variety show in the fall of 1963, broadcast live from a Hollywood theatre renamed the Hollywood Palace.
But the show was one of the biggest disasters in TV history to that time, and was cancelled after 14 weeks (and 13 episodes; the scheduled November 23, 1963 episode was pre-empted for continuing non-stop news coverage following President Kennedy's assassination.
ABC replaced Lewis with another variety show, this one only an hour long and named after the theatre it originated from: "The Hollywood Palace".
"Hollywood Palace " would enjoy a very successful six-year run.
While this was Polaroid's first color camera, this show was in black-and-white.
I suspect they also demonstrated this camera in TV spots on Johnny Carson's "Tonight" show, "Sing Along With Mitch" and Jack Paar's prime-time variety show since the relatively few owners of color TV sets could see this product demonstrated in color.
It's great when you have a window into anyone's hobby, then you see the real human. We have just witnessed the real human being, Jerry Lewis. Cool.
