    Jerry Lewis is the Man of Comedy! He is the King of Comedy, and no one else comes close to him. In fact, any successful comedian that made it big time owes Jerry Lewis a big thank you to him. I have a great respect for this man.

    I love this interview, you know why, because its two people communicating with no electronic distractions, looking at each other, and trying to understand each other. I miss intelligent conversations on television, with no stupid distractions.

    I Loved Jerry Lewis since I was a little kid! I saw 'Hardly Working' in the theater. I was so excited to be going to a new Jerry Lewis picture. I remember like yesterday driving to the city to see it... kind of the same way I was excited to go see Frank Sinatra in 'The First Deadly Sin' ( 1981). It was so amazing to see new films on the big screen from both these legends! I thought 'Hardly Working' was hilarious...I Loved it! God Bless Jerry Lewis!!

    This kind of TV has become nothing but a beautiful memory - with this suffering world having been drained and corroded by all the scripted, prepared, formulated, bullshit "reality" and internet trash that have completely usurped ACTUAL reality and inspirational spontaneity.
    This piece of entertainment is just simply raw. A totally authentic exchange. No safety net, no censorship, no broadcast bodyguarding.
    Just two blokes laying it all out there.
    This kind of quality will never exist on television again. It is a reminder of how organic life was, in all its earthy facets.

      a real man takes care of his family, period. The MDA stuff was to feed his ego, keep his name out there and ease his conscience. A true contributor of mankind doesnt keep count of what he does and brag about it.In every interview he brings up the exact amount he has raised. How he cares for his family is the true test of a man's character not public charity to benefit and promote self.

    This is the very first interview with Lewis where the interviewer gets "down and dirty" with the guest, but in a respectful way. I've never watched Bill Boggs before, but as an interviewer, he's first rate. He probes the depths, and keeps it real. I like that.

  • @retthok

    I think many people would like to have a little Buddy Love in them, which I think was a caricature of Jerry in real life. Doesn't take shit from anyone, beats up on bullies, and always does the right thing at any time.

  • @rickw1100

    Jerry Lewis certainly did alot to help young disabled children.
    I respect him for that.
    However, there were many occasions when Jerry was mean and nasty to people
    Jerry saw it as joking around - he even said so - but many people interpreted his jokes as extremely mean and nasty and they voiced their concerns to him.
    I dont think Jerry realised that not everyone appreciated his crude style of jokes or crude off screen humour.
    His off screen humour was very different from his on screen humour.
    The ON SCREEN Jerry was the child friendly Jerry that we saw.
    But the OFF SCREEN Jerry was the adult content Jerry that only people like me who have worked in the industry saw firsthand.
    People need to learn to distinguish between the ON SCREEN Jerry and the
    OFF SCREEN Jerry - as they were not the same person.
    I met him several times in the late 1980's.
    He told us that he was just joking around with us. (The crew)
    Its just that other members of the crew did not always get the crude jokes - particularly his more "adult content" jokes.
    That was the OFF SCREEN Jerry that i worked with in the late 1980's.
    He was a great comic ON SCREEN - but
    OFF SCREEN some of his more sexually explicit jokes with the crew were shocking to us.
    Like i said, most people only saw the
    ON SCREEN Jerry who was child friendly.
    But i worked with the OFF SCREEN adult content Jerry that had a completely different style of humour from the ON SCREEN Jerry.
    It was very adult content in terms of the nature of the jokes.
    Our job as the crew is to shoot the scene after the background sets have been built and the wadrobe and make up artists have done their work and the lighting crew set up.
    It was inbetween shooting scenes that i met the REAL Jerry - and trust me - his style of humour was completely different to his child friendly movies.

    @tarnsand 9 років тому +4

    Bill and Jerry are talking about his latest movie 'Hardly Working' which was released in the US April 3 1981. So I'm guessing this interview is early 1981.This movie was finally finished in 1979. Production halted for approx 6 months due to running out of money with Jerry declaring personal bankruptcy. This was near the end of his years of divorce excessive drinking/drugs/money problems. He doesn't look as healthy here as he normally did. He wrote in his book ; Dean and Me: A Love Story 'The movie didn't really hang together, and not so surprisingly, I looked terrible in it'.

    Basically Jerry Lewis was a very talented comic when it came to being ON SCREEN.
    However, when he was OFF SCREEN his personality was terrible.
    There is a network tv program called
    "Inside Edition" that sent reporters out and actually interviewed his REAL daughter who is living on the streets and she is homeless.
    Please Look it up everyone, her name is
    Susan Lewis and the tv program was called
    "Inside Edition"
    He treated her like shit and allowed her to live on the streets.
    Look it up everyone, her name is Susan Lewis.
    Also, his sons say he mentally abused them.

    What is the date this was conducted? I feel like the Joker with Joaquin Phoenix was borrowed from The King of Comedy.

    I commend Boggs for remaining in his chair for the entire interview, let alone the first 6 minutes.

      Sorry Michael Klein, Boggs admired Jerry VERY MUCH so he probably would have made the interview 6 hours longer if he could! I'm pretty sure and I completely understand him. Jerry was a marvelous, unique, and talented human being!
