Getting old absolutely sucks. Listen,I'm not saying you can't be happy, but from a physical point of view it ain't good. I'm 42 and i observe old people when I'm out and about and I see how cruel life can be as you lose your vitality, your looks and your strength, you become more susceptible to health problems, your bones become weaker and so on....

I love Jerry, I love Dean and Jerry! I didn't know them, I never met them. But they were a huge part of my family! Remember when we had no cable TV? We would examine the weekly guide, and if any of their films were on... Hell, it was a big f'n deal! My mom, my grandma, it was popcorn, shakes, and just so much fun! (so nerdy, but so what?) We would laugh so hard we might pee a little. Artists and Models... man, it doesn't get better than that. I really don't care what anyone thinks, it's my treasured family memories
Then you can spend eternity with those you love.☺️ I'm so glad I gave my heart to him when I was ten. I can't wait to see my mother and father and many others in heaven!!
The more I read about him the more I think he was truly 'bipolar.' He had all the signs--the manic side working way and night with no sleep. The lows. The anger outbursts. The genius. His son Joseph who committed suicide was actually diagnosed bipolar and had many of the same symptoms. Jerry was just like the Nutty Professor with 2 sides. He always knew it but didn't know about bipolar disorder.
I know this comment is over a year old but I just have to say this. Joseph was my father and I promise you that he didn't commit suicide. My dad was starting a new job that day and beforehand my mother and I were going to take him to a local wildlife museum to have a fun day together. As someone who now is dealing with thoughts of suicide and dealing with major depression I can honestly say that my dad was never that person. It was an accident through and through.
Nobody is perfect, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE. Judging a person you absolutely know nothing about is ridiculous. Look in the mirror and clean your own room before you cast stones. Jerry Lewis has brought tremendous amount of joy, laughter to broken people.
He presented himself as a "saviour" of sick children but had almost nothing to do with his 6 sons and homeless daughter. There is something truly sickening in hurting those closest to you. The more I learn his story the more I think he was a covert narcassist who needed the publics attention continuously. He was always saying in every interview how much he "loved" Dean Martin. Was there no love left over for his natural children! I mean 6! After 1 passed away..What monster would sell all her father private jewellry to strangers? That says it all. I now feel sick thinking about watching another Jerry Lewis anything. I think the world was duped...biggest con in show business. These were Children after all..
He was removed from the Labor-Day telethon when the backlash over just who he actually was began to overpower the good derived from his name being associated with the telethon. He became a liability, no longer an asset. And seemed to enjoy being that person. Yep ... gone. See ya, ass.
It's funny how time flys we have all had our fun in the sun and when it's our time we go, that's just the way it is. Life goes on when it's my time hopefully il face death like i faced life but I'm not going to worry about it il cross that bridge when I get to it I have my faith in my savior jesus christ he takes the fear of dying from me but thats just my faith and what I believe
He has lead a charmed life so far thats for sure.I am 63 and so in 40 or 50 years time I will be a relatively old man and I will probably feel a bit like Jerry then.I hope he lives forever.God bless him.
What scares me about death is the fact that the party will still be going on after I have gone. It makes me sad to think I won't be able to witness the future.
to me Jerry Lewis is the king of comedy. I wrote him a letter two years ago telling him how big of a fan of his I am. I sent the letter in January, and on Good Friday, I received an autographed photo of him. It is now on my wall next to two autographed photos from 2 other Giants in comedy......Jim Carrey and Robin Williams.
In 1968, my uncle was killed in a collision between his 1965 Ford Fairlane and a semi-tractor trailer. The accident literally removed his face, from the chin to the top of his head. I loved my uncle, and any difference in his appearance would have been burned in my mind. I know of his injuries because of accident photos I saw many years later. The mortician was an artist beyond compare. He recreated my uncle's face -in wax- so perfectly one would have thought he'd gone to the accident scene and found the original unscathed and put it back in place. Madame Toussand's would have been fortunate indeed to have had an artist of his skill. THEY must work from a time-consuming live-cast mold of their subjects to do what that mortician did from a single photo. And, he did this in only three days! Why such a morbid post? Because of the tragedy that is the face on that still living, breathing, and famous singer, Wayne Newton. It is beyond unpleasant to see so many celebrities voluntarily have their faces removed and replaced with..., well, the face of an unrepaired corpse. People still, today, speak in wonder; "What the Hell was Michael Jackson thinking?" Compared to Newton and many other famous people Michael looked good. Poor Wayne, where the hell was a good mortician when he needed one.
Love and Respect this Man. I am and always will be a Big Fan of Jerry Lewis. Thank you for all the joy of watching your Movies an for MDA Telethon. God Bless You Mr. Lewis. A Faithful Fan from Louisville, Kentucky
L B they lie through their teeth. They worked with him on telethons until 2010. They earned their paycheck beside him all their lives. They changed the story when he died. When he can not defend himself. And his kids refused to pay their mom's nursing home, Jerry paid it until he died. Bet they did not mention that. That's inexcusable, really.
He made a mockery of people with disabilities, he abused his 5 children and wife of 38 years and left them in poverty and gave this second wife everything, he was a nasty abusive, narcissistic sociopath.
Death is part of life. I know a lady who is 97 and she says she's not scared a bit. She knows when she passes away she's gonna be in heaven with the Lord. Salvation through Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven.
My God, he looks great for 90. My late mother was that way, she was 86 but, had that forever baby face. I loved Jerry and, I always will. He was and, is my favorite all-time comic. A real genus writer and, all. His 'nutty proffesor' is a classic and, at one time his movies had made more money than any other comic. I'll never forget him and, I use to look like him when I was a kid, they use to give me those early Jerry Lewis haircuts. Jerry plays a few musical instruments and, all. A real all around talent but, couldn't sing for hell[laugh]! God bless his heart.
He was silly, not funny...but in all fairness every single video I've seen of Jerry and his kids from the time they were little until they were adults he's a loving caring father. And he raised millions for children with MDA ...so I really don't know what happened late in his life.
@@AN-vt8qq He was really well paid for "saving the children". It only looked like he was doing it for love when he was more interested in the money he earned doing it.
We have lost Jerry Lewis a LEGEND...He really made each day count. I was waiting for this last film he made for a while now. Never seen it released anywhere. Well rip Mr. Lewis u were certainly an angel on earth now your in heave...u will be so very much missed...
Did he think that he wouldn’t die? He acts like it came as a surprise. I run a senior citizen group and we have ALL accepted our deaths. We live for the moment and our oldest member is 100. He’s sad about dying. It took him 90 years before he faced his own mortality. Please spare me the crocodile tears , we all die.
I remember Jerry when I was a kid I loved all his films , some were sad to he always got sticky end of stick in some love type films . I wish to thank him for my happy memories of his films ❤️. Folks his private life is just that , hate to see peeps remarks about his kids different era we were not there ! We all make mistakes ! I used to get swift crack round the ear in 60's of parents that's how it was then , not child beaters !!! Give him credit for all the joy he have to viewers all over the world he deserves that .
You mean "Mad and angry in desperation" The one thing I will never understand, how when young, he appeared to be humble and meek, and as old, he turn rude and arrogant, as if all of a sudden he felt invincible??? and I mean when he was still alive.
I'm 62 , grew up with Jerry , what a gift to us he truly was ...this man has a heart of gold always doing the telethon..the joy and compasion he has brought to the world ...man ..we need more Jerry Lewis's in this world ...
A MAN WHO GAVE THE LOVE OF THE WORLD, THANKS TO HIS TALENT AND TO THOUSANDS OF SMILES HE HAS LEFT IN HIS PUBLIC, THE LUCKY MAN OF ALL, FOR HIS BEAUTIFUL AND UNITED FAMILY, CAN BE CONSIDERED FOR THE LEGACY OF HAVING BEEN THE PIONEER IN HELPING TELETON CHILDREN AND HEREBY INHERITING TO OTHER COUNTRIES. FOR BEING A SERVANT TO THIS HUMANITY THAT NEEDS MANY JERRY LEWIS. THANK YOU.
Nobody wants to die yet nobody complains about being dead. How bad could it be? Jerry was never one for stoic resignation. He was pure drama. And I've lost count of the times I heard the narroration: "you'll see Jerry Lewis as you've never seen him - serious". That line literally went back 50-55 years. It would have been more effective to say: "you'll see Jerry Lewis as you haven't seen him for 50 years - funny". He was a good man. He had a little genius in him. So I should go easy. But he stopped being funny about 1960 and he lived into the 20-teens and at 90, wealthy, celebrated and generally sucked up to, he was tearing up at the thought of his own death. A little gratitude for the amazing ride may have been called for. But, then again, I could see him wanting it to go on forever, though imagine how much trouble he would be to everyone around him at 115.
Can't have any feeling for him how he feels now, is how his 5 other children have felt all their lives. He get all emotional for his 2nd wife and adopted daughter shame he couldn't spare a tear for them. Not much laughter for his kids growing up
Turns out behind closed doors he was not a nice person. He disowned his children from his first marriage. All boys and also his daughter from an affair.
Seriously? Poor man? This guy has enjoyed the best of life. He has entertained many of us for decades, and we have loved his works. Why is he a "poor man"? He is a blessed man who has been able to lead a full life and entertain hundreds of millions of people. Mr. Lewis has left his mark on the world and is hardly a "poor man".
I love Jerry Lewis he brought so much happiness and joy into my life it's sad seeing him get old but that's the way life is for all of us a long as you have Jesus Christ you'll be young forever. God bless you Jerry Lewis and your family.

Jerry was my favorite when I was a kid, I would stay up late on the weekend to his movies. He always filled me with joy. His telethon work for MD kids shows his great compassion for children and the sick. He is one of a kind, and Hollywood should take note of the fine human being who worked on film and set a great example of what a star could do to touch so many hearts.
It is hard growing old. You hit 21and Wolla another 21years have passed. All I can say, is to get out and see the world, if you can't do that become someone important in your own community. Write a book on your life so ur great great etc etc can read the words of the past that for a little time, then before u know it, your old, never wrote that book never took those important pics. I love how Jerry is still with us and still today makes everyone laugh. As a little kid we watch his black and white movies and laugh hard. I'd love to go to Los Vegas to see him. But I'm flying to the uk 🇬🇧, Scotland, France 🇫🇷 and Rome. By myself. I wish all the love and prayers to Mr Jerry Lewis and Thankyou for the many years you made us laugh, cry and wishing u got the gal, but u got the best wife..

Fathers own and love your children. If that is all you do in life, then you're not a quitter, and you have fought the good fight. Nuff said. No tears.
Seemed like a schmuck to me 😕
I am so angry to find out one of my childhood loves was an awful and mean person.
Gary is and will always be the better person. FJLewis!
The one thing I will never understand, how when young, he appeared to be humble and meek, and as old, he turn rude and arrogant, as if all of a sudden he feels he's now invincible??? and I mean when he was still alive.
As they say, never get to know your heroes.
this is why I don't want to die. I'm scared that I'll leave my family, and friends and then they will be alone. Not being able to stop death scares me. ❤
I know I can't stop it that's why I'm scared.
death is something that u cant stop no one can soo just accept it as it is.
yeah me too 😭😭😭
I know I can't stop it this is why I'm scared
Yep just enjoy it while you can
24 year old daughter? He was super old when he had her.
kittyyourock adopted
***** oh thanks
no...he was healthy and happy and so be it....let's not call him old..please.
she was not YOUNG YOUNG when they wed. so be it
thanks.
I lost all respect for him when I read he was a total narcissist with his older children.
His kids worked with him all their lives. Now, when he can't speak up for himself- he's all of a sudden the worst person according to their story. If he was that bad, why didn't they stop working with him before he died? Why they changed the tune only when he can not defend himself?
Be careful what they feed you
Have you considered that maybe his children were scum bags?
I love Jerry, I love Dean and Jerry! I didn't know them, I never met them. But they were a huge part of my family!
Remember when we had no cable TV? We would examine the weekly guide, and if any of their films were on... Hell, it was a big f'n deal! My mom, my grandma, it was popcorn, shakes, and just so much fun! (so nerdy, but so what?) We would laugh so hard we might pee a little. Artists and Models... man, it doesn't get better than that. I really don't care what anyone thinks, it's my treasured family memories
Then you can spend eternity with those you love.☺️ I'm so glad I gave my heart to him when I was ten. I can't wait to see my mother and father and many others in heaven!!
Yup!
(H)im
Gave your heart to who ? Jerry Lewis ?
@@tonytimonis8732good one! 😂
God bless his heart.

The more I read about him the more I think he was truly 'bipolar.' He had all the signs--the manic side working way and night with no sleep. The lows. The anger outbursts. The genius. His son Joseph who committed suicide was actually diagnosed bipolar and had many of the same symptoms. Jerry was just like the Nutty Professor with 2 sides. He always knew it but didn't know about bipolar disorder.
I know this comment is over a year old but I just have to say this. Joseph was my father and I promise you that he didn't commit suicide. My dad was starting a new job that day and beforehand my mother and I were going to take him to a local wildlife museum to have a fun day together. As someone who now is dealing with thoughts of suicide and dealing with major depression I can honestly say that my dad was never that person. It was an accident through and through.
Chickenfish15 I believe you, and am praying for your health and wellbeing...my sincerest condolences on the loss of your father and grandfather.
Chickenfish15 ❣️🙏❤️🙏❣️god bless stay safe
@@rpdide what happened in that accident?
silverapplesEGP never feel like that, your life is precious, think good thoughts hold love in your heart always, ❣️🙏
Hes my favorite comedian overall time.. This breaks my heart. I dread the day. Hes such a genius in what he does. Never will there be another jerry.
Why lie? He's obviously still alive.
You must be from France.
Typical American who doesn't face the inevitable short visit on earth for all
ConfideNMusic lol failed
today was the day....
Nobody is perfect, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE. Judging a person you absolutely know nothing about is ridiculous. Look in the mirror and clean your own room before you cast stones. Jerry Lewis has brought tremendous amount of joy, laughter to broken people.
He presented himself as a "saviour" of sick children but had almost nothing to do with his 6 sons and homeless daughter. There is something truly sickening in hurting those closest to you. The more I learn his story the more I think he was a covert narcassist who needed the publics attention continuously. He was always saying in every interview how much he "loved" Dean Martin. Was there no love left over for his natural children! I mean 6! After 1 passed away..What monster would sell all her father private jewellry to strangers? That says it all. I now feel sick thinking about watching another Jerry Lewis anything. I think the world was duped...biggest con in show business. These were Children after all..
Well said. He reminds me of Joan Crawford and Bette Davis, who were also cruel and abusive to their own children.
Art has nothing to do with the personal, private life of the artist. Grow up.
He was removed from the Labor-Day telethon when the backlash over just who he actually was began to overpower the good derived from his name being associated with the telethon.
He became a liability, no longer an asset. And seemed to enjoy being that person.
Yep ... gone. See ya, ass.
He looks good for his age but my god he was just gorgeous in his younger years.
Didn't know it at the time(i was just a kid).....but yes, he was extremely handsome....
C Michaels wtf
im kind of a big dea
yes he was hot lol i think that too...
Vaping luciapoooooooooooooooooooooo
I love all of his movies... This interview is really sad... 😔
he knew he was at the end of his rope thats why he was soooo miserable...
I didn't care
It's funny how time flys n
It's funny how time flys frick him He abandoned his children
It's funny how time flys we have all had our fun in the sun and when it's our time we go, that's just the way it is. Life goes on when it's my time hopefully il face death like i faced life but I'm not going to worry about it il cross that bridge when I get to it I have my faith in my savior jesus christ he takes the fear of dying from me but thats just my faith and what I believe
Well.. He has passed... prayers for his family, and everyone he loved.. I'm in tears at the moment..🙏🏽🙏🏽
R.I.P. Jerry Lewis
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
He has lead a charmed life so far thats for sure.I am 63 and so in 40 or 50 years time I will be a relatively old man and I will probably feel a bit like Jerry then.I hope he lives forever.God bless him.
What scares me about death is the fact that the party will still be going on after I have gone. It makes me sad to think I won't be able to witness the future.
Life is like a big soap opera and I don't want to miss the next episode!
*LOVE JERRY LEWIS, ALWAYS HAVE!!!*
The Nutty Professor- one of the funniest movies of all time! X.
Hook, Line & Sinker
Peter Turley amen I agree
Peter - - - the opening scene where Kelp walks into Dr. Warfield's office after the explosion is absolutely hysterical. Jerry Lewis at his best.
I'll have an Alaskan Polar Bear Heater!
Not enough sadness to take care of his own sons,funny how you loved a guy but then find out about his real blood children he hated,wtf
A man that died, seemingly full of regrets and resentments.
R.I.P. Legend :,)❤
to me Jerry Lewis is the king of comedy. I wrote him a letter two years ago telling him how big of a fan of his I am. I sent the letter in January, and on Good Friday, I received an autographed photo of him. It is now on my wall next to two autographed photos from 2 other Giants in comedy......Jim Carrey and Robin Williams.
Gee, he gave a total strange more attention than his kids. Guess they spent more time hiding from the tyrant than expressing adulation.
did he also send an autographed one of the kids' expressions once they found out they were duped from any inheritance?
"Like you've never seen him before. Serious!" Apparently, he is not aware of Jerry Lewis' work. He has done serious many times.
Lewis had a foul mouth reputation in Hollywood &was not liked by fellow performers.
Amazing for 90! What a helluva life!
Mostly hell on earth
LOL @1:14 Jerry was pushing out a FART....Watch His Face...lol
In 1968, my uncle was killed in a collision between his 1965 Ford Fairlane and a semi-tractor trailer. The accident literally removed his face, from the chin to the top of his head. I loved my uncle, and any difference in his appearance would have been burned in my mind. I know of his injuries because of accident photos I saw many years later.
The mortician was an artist beyond compare. He recreated my uncle's face -in wax- so perfectly one would have thought he'd gone to the accident scene and found the original unscathed and put it back in place. Madame Toussand's would have been fortunate indeed to have had an artist of his skill. THEY must work from a time-consuming live-cast mold of their subjects to do what that mortician did from a single photo. And, he did this in only three days!
Why such a morbid post? Because of the tragedy that is the face on that still living, breathing, and famous singer, Wayne Newton. It is beyond unpleasant to see so many celebrities voluntarily have their faces removed and replaced with..., well, the face of an unrepaired corpse. People still, today, speak in wonder; "What the Hell was Michael Jackson thinking?" Compared to Newton and many other famous people Michael looked good. Poor Wayne, where the hell was a good mortician when he needed one.
One of the funniest ever God bless you.
He's a national treasure from a classic era in American entertainment.
ironpirites
One of the all time greats. God bless that man.
RIP. Thank you for everything.
Love and Respect this Man. I am and always will be a Big Fan of Jerry Lewis. Thank you for all the joy of watching your Movies an for MDA Telethon. God Bless You Mr. Lewis. A Faithful Fan from Louisville, Kentucky
This interview is the first time he ever made me laugh.
He didn’t do right by his sons. Inexcusable.
L B they lie through their teeth. They worked with him on telethons until 2010. They earned their paycheck beside him all their lives. They changed the story when he died. When he can not defend himself. And his kids refused to pay their mom's nursing home, Jerry paid it until he died. Bet they did not mention that. That's inexcusable, really.
Who else cried?😭😭😭
Not me
I don't know him so I didn't cry ...simple
He made a mockery of people with disabilities, he abused his 5 children and wife of 38 years and left them in poverty and gave this second wife everything, he was a nasty abusive, narcissistic sociopath.
Happy Birthday Jerry Lewis!
Man, the work on Wayne Newton is bad.
he looks fine
@@Lauren-vd4qe he looks like a mannequin.78 years old plastic man.
Wayne Newton always looked bad. Even as a teenager he looked and sounded like a girl. What he looks like now, believe or not, is an improvement.
I love you Mr Jerry Lewis!! May You Rest In Peace. ;(
I worked for a guy one time who was retired and he told me that retirement is great "All I have to do is not die"always stuck with me.
Death is part of life. I know a lady who is 97 and she says she's not scared a bit. She knows when she passes away she's gonna be in heaven with the Lord. Salvation through Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven.
My God, he looks great for 90. My late mother was that way, she was 86 but, had that forever baby face. I loved Jerry and, I always will. He was and, is my favorite all-time comic. A real genus writer and, all. His 'nutty proffesor' is a classic and, at one time his movies had made more money than any other comic. I'll never forget him and, I use to look like him when I was a kid, they use to give me those early Jerry Lewis haircuts. Jerry plays a few musical instruments and, all. A real all around talent but, couldn't sing for hell[laugh]! God bless his heart.
I never thought Jerry Lewis was ever realy that funny, he was realy a cruel man towards his son's and daughters
He was silly, not funny...but in all fairness every single video I've seen of Jerry and his kids from the time they were little until they were adults he's a loving caring father. And he raised millions for children with MDA ...so I really don't know what happened late in his life.
@@AN-vt8qq He was really well paid for "saving the children". It only looked like he was doing it for love when he was more interested in the money he earned doing it.
Horrible man, husband, and father. He should be in tears
We have lost Jerry Lewis a LEGEND...He really made each day count. I was waiting for this last film he made for a while now. Never seen it released anywhere. Well rip Mr. Lewis u were certainly an angel on earth now your in heave...u will be so very much missed...
I love Jerry Lewis! I always have since a kid. He's doing great at his age. God bless him!!
Rusty Wood oof
Hopefully God will NOT bless him! This man's actions with regards to his true family leave alot to be desired!
@@carobmc5519 well you don't know nothing about God then
Did he think that he wouldn’t die? He acts like it came as a surprise. I run a senior citizen group and we have ALL accepted our deaths. We live for the moment and our oldest member is 100. He’s sad about dying. It took him 90 years before he faced his own mortality. Please spare me the crocodile tears , we all die.
Jerry Lewis !! Hus movies made me laugh so hard I cried when I was a kid.Your the best Jerry
I remember Jerry when I was a kid I loved all his films , some were sad to he always got sticky end of stick in some love type films .
I wish to thank him for my happy memories of his films ❤️.
Folks his private life is just that , hate to see peeps remarks about his kids different era we were not there !
We all make mistakes ! I used to get swift crack round the ear in 60's of parents that's how it was then , not child beaters !!!
Give him credit for all the joy he have to viewers all over the world he deserves that .
1st time to hear bout him
Thank you for leaving precious memories for the world to enjoy! Rest
No one made me laugh more than Jerry. Laugh in peace.
You mean "Mad and angry in desperation" The one thing I will never understand, how when young, he appeared to be humble and meek, and as old, he turn rude and arrogant, as if all of a sudden he felt invincible??? and I mean when he was still alive.
I'm 62 , grew up with Jerry , what a gift to us he truly was ...this man has a heart of gold
always doing the telethon..the joy and compasion he has brought to the world ...man ..we need more Jerry Lewis's in this world ...
Yet, he left all his biological children out of his will...I love Jerry..but that was messed up.
He abandoned his own children, no more men like him ever again.
bless his heart!!! will always love the films they bring back such memories of growing up RIP Jerry :)
The French people realized that Jerry Lewis was a treasure, and they were correct.
Yes, we always honored him every time he came to France. And we miss him very much.....😢
you can't keep yourself from loving the guy
@@BuckyBrown-lt4ry absolutely
Ask his children?
A MAN WHO GAVE THE LOVE OF THE WORLD, THANKS TO HIS TALENT AND TO THOUSANDS OF SMILES HE HAS LEFT IN HIS PUBLIC, THE LUCKY MAN OF ALL, FOR HIS BEAUTIFUL AND UNITED FAMILY, CAN BE CONSIDERED FOR THE LEGACY OF HAVING BEEN THE PIONEER IN HELPING TELETON CHILDREN AND HEREBY INHERITING TO OTHER COUNTRIES. FOR BEING A SERVANT TO THIS HUMANITY THAT NEEDS MANY JERRY LEWIS. THANK YOU.
He had a real reason to have fear......spending eternity in hell is scary.
if there is a hell, jerry lewis absolutely resides there.
I can't handle it either although I'm the child I can't imagine either of them dying 😞
I know how you feel. I am 15, a guy. I love Jerry Lee Lewis's music. its up beat, etc. I can't stand to see him die.
Dopey kid, that's not Jerry Lee Lewis the killer smh.
hehehe...hahaha
lool
SONG BOOK
Rest in Peace Jerry Lewis, you will always be remembered
AS AN ASS.
Nobody wants to die yet nobody complains about being dead. How bad could it be?
Jerry was never one for stoic resignation. He was pure drama. And I've lost count of the times I heard the narroration: "you'll see Jerry Lewis as you've never seen him - serious". That line literally went back 50-55 years. It would have been more effective to say: "you'll see Jerry Lewis as you haven't seen him for 50 years - funny".
He was a good man. He had a little genius in him. So I should go easy. But he stopped being funny about 1960 and he lived into the 20-teens and at 90, wealthy, celebrated and generally sucked up to, he was tearing up at the thought of his own death. A little gratitude for the amazing ride may have been called for. But, then again, I could see him wanting it to go on forever, though imagine how much trouble he would be to everyone around him at 115.
Can't have any feeling for him how he feels now, is how his 5 other children have felt all their lives. He get all emotional for his 2nd wife and adopted daughter shame he couldn't spare a tear for them. Not much laughter for his kids growing up
RIP Jerry Lewis. Thank you for giving laughter to this world! You will be missed.
He was a monster
He was buddy love to his kids
Turns out behind closed doors he was not a nice person. He disowned his children from his first marriage. All boys and also his daughter from an affair.
He was a pos to his kids
@@chantell209 he sure was. A mean monster. You will find that with many famous celebrities.
Love him all the way! Thanks Jerry! God bless you and your family
90 years on this wacky, insane planet.... God bless him!
Laugh effect
To be honest, I thought Jerry was knocking on death's door 20 years ago. He certainly has been resilient.
God Bless him, his wife and his daughter. May he be happy in the after life
90 anos não é para todos, valeu Jerry!
poor man 😭😭😭😘😘😘😢😢😢
poor poor. Man we. Love. You 😩😭😢
Why Not?
Seriously? Poor man? This guy has enjoyed the best of life. He has entertained many of us for decades, and we have loved his works. Why is he a "poor man"? He is a blessed man who has been able to lead a full life and entertain hundreds of millions of people. Mr. Lewis has left his mark on the world and is hardly a "poor man".
Fully agree with your comment.
Yeah, poor arrogant angry resentful man who made it clear that he was glad some celebs had died. It's Karna time for him.
Rest In Peace Funny Man. You will be missed :(
I love Jerry Lewis he brought so much happiness and joy into my life it's sad seeing him get old but that's the way life is for all of us a long as you have Jesus Christ you'll be young forever. God bless you Jerry Lewis and your family.
Jerry was Jewish.
You won't have to handle it Jerry, it'll be handled for you !
RIP The man who was a legend in many ways.
Jerry Lewis
Thank you, Mr. Lewis!
- Awful man - - very mean to his sons .....terrible emotional abuse to his sons and left them out of his will....totally .....most of them were not even invited to the funeral -
I'm 35 and death scares me less now than it did 15 years ago but wattching this makes me realize that I will never be immune.
Wrong...u can live for ever and ever. But it depends on your choices.

I think Jerry Lewis as an exceptional man for what he done for children and his heart was into it. So think when your 90 how you will be. We love you Jerry❤
we will all get old
I know how you feel
ann robi or we will die young
can i take you out before we do?..if i may be so bold.
Jerry was my favorite when I was a kid, I would stay up late on the weekend to his movies. He always filled me with joy. His telethon work for MD kids shows his great compassion for children and the sick. He is one of a kind, and Hollywood should take note of the fine human being who worked on film and set a great example of what a star could do to touch so many hearts.
So sad. RIP Jerry. My absolute idol.
It is hard growing old. You hit 21and Wolla another 21years have passed. All I can say, is to get out and see the world, if you can't do that become someone important in your own community. Write a book on your life so ur great great etc etc can read the words of the past that for a little time, then before u know it, your old, never wrote that book never took those important pics. I love how Jerry is still with us and still today makes everyone laugh. As a little kid we watch his black and white movies and laugh hard. I'd love to go to Los Vegas to see him. But I'm flying to the uk 🇬🇧, Scotland, France 🇫🇷 and Rome. By myself. I wish all the love and prayers to Mr Jerry Lewis and Thankyou for the many years you made us laugh, cry and wishing u got the gal, but u got the best wife..
Meeting Jerry Lewis and shaking his hand in 1981 was both an honor and privilege. This man gave so much to so many and truly deserves entertainment immortality. He will be with us for as long as there is laughter in this world.
Get a life, idiot.
The one thing I will never understand, how when young, he appeared to be humble and meek, and as old, he turn rude and arrogant, as if all of a sudden he feels he's now invincible??? and I mean when he was still alive.
King of comedy. I miss Jerry so much. 😥
