The interviewer had gall in the questions he asked at tImes but I think Jerry preferred direct frankness. He was very gracious, indulgent. patient and honest both in his listening and in his answers. He himself was direct and blunt and some people took issue with that. He was also kind, intelligent, talented, handsome, sexy. There had never been anyone like him nor will there ever be again. I miss you, Jerry.
What a breath of fresh air. I'm 19, and I know that I may not know much, but I really wish celebrities of this day and age could be this transparent and have more conversations with depth. I wish they took the time to do that. Until then, I'll continue to watch what I can find from special people like Jerry.
He is so intense and intelligent! I could listen to him talking all day long! I' m in awe of him! So sexy, smart, emotional, and immensely talented. There won't be another one like him ever again :(
David Howard Susskind (December 19, 1920 - February 22, 1987) was an American producer of TV, movies, and stage plays and also a TV talk show host. His talk shows were innovative in the genre and addressed timely, controversial topics beyond the scope of others of the day.
This is not Jerry Lee Lewis.... Jerry Lewis is a comedian, who also sang and had a top 10 song in 1956, but he is not Jerry Lee Lewis the rock and roll singer and pianist.
Jerry did think he'd be a huge movie writer/producer/director as he went into his 40's and 50's. But he made some movies in the late 60's that didn't star him that absolutely flopped. Then after the "Day The Clown Cried" disaster in 1972, no studio would even think about hiring him to direct their movies.
'Funny bones' was an excellent film and he did very well on stage in Damn Yankees. He managed to work practically from a kid until he died, so an amazing achievement.
mark ruane As I understand it, he always kept a record of every programme he was on, even going back to when he worked with Dean Martin. I believe at some point he gave a lot of the tapes to an American archive museum for safe keeping.
Jerry's terrific, he's intelligent, he's expressive. When he sits down like this, though, he also becomes pompous and boring. "I'd like to think that everyone likes charities" - you can practically hear the televisions across the country changing channels when he gets like that.
He should have divided his wealth evenly to his kids..they are your blood you brought them into this world....just divide it evenly already Leave them the money..you can't take it with you...using money to punish people by leaving it to one person and leaving the rest out is such ugly behavior...yes you are a great entertainer.and you have done great things but it is such ugly behavior.... Well it's his money and he does whatever he wants with it...yes that's true but it is still such ugly behavior. The fans would have preferred to know that Jerry was such a wonderful fellow on and off the screen... That's my opinion and I welcome yours.
He gave them trusts that weren't listed in the will. Anyway, no child is entitled to their parent's money and that's utterly ridiculous. It's a privilege to receive it, not a right! Some of his son's ugly behavior to Jerry and Patti, and other siblings did not warrant any inheritance. Period. Would you give an adult son, that stole from you and your ex-wife, an inheritance? I don't think so.
You're acting like Danielle isn't his "real" daughter and that's more disgusting than anything you're accusing Jerry of. His sons received his money throughout their lives. They don't need anymore.
There are no sons on the street. All of them received trusts. I believe you are referring to his out of wedlock daughter, that he supported as a toddler. Her mother married a rich man, and she grew up in privilege. None of her sons, nor her other family have stepped up to support her either. It seems everyone has broken ties with her.
Show me evidence of any of his sons on the street. Gary is touring with his band, Ronnie disowned all the family and has no contact with them, Scott is on poorer side, but he is not living on the street, I assure you. Anthony, is alive and well and argued with me on facebook the other day, and he is not homeless. What sons are you referring to?
@givethechanceakid he has a son from another woman and a homeless daughter as well it seems to me your thinking with your heart not your head you must like. LEWIS HES A SELFISH MAN.WALK OUT ON HIS FIRST WIFE MARRIED ANOTHER YOUNGER WOMAN AND ADOPTED A IN BABY GIRL NAME Dani after his father he left them every thing $$$and his sons NOTHING
It strikes me that both of these people hated Muhammed Ali and never believed in him or supported him during his exile from boxing. Jerry thought he was a fraud as a boxer a huckster and a big bag of wind. And David thought he was a clown and a felon who was used and dupped the Black Muslim group.
That's a bold faced lie, and Jerry Lewis and Muhammed Ali were friends. He was on Jerry's show, and Muhammed needed a few humbling words from Jerry. That was as a friend and in fun. Muhammed read a poem to Jerry, as a friend as well. But Jerry never called him a fraud, huckster, or big bag of wind, and you know it.
I can say with pleasure I had the chance to see Jerry Lewis Live and he was fantastic.
I saw Jerry live in Adelaide, Australia, in the year 2000. He was great and so funny and interactive with the audience. 🥰

Very well said! He was gorgeous, talented, honest, and intelligent! One of a kind. I really miss him 😢

Jerry being transparent? Take a look at the women he raped or had relationships with outside marriage.
Now you’re 27
Loved this man, fabulous spirit.
He is so intense and intelligent! I could listen to him talking all day long! I' m in awe of him! So sexy, smart, emotional, and immensely talented. There won't be another one like him ever again :(
This, the real Jerry Lewis fascinates me.
I learned Jerry has an IQ of 190; genius level - after listening to this interview, I can believe it.
Jerry was a narcasist and the latest evidence shows him to be a physical abuser of family and sexual abuser of actresses, not a great man.
You obviously heard that from Jerry himself. ;)
breathtaking talent , intelligence and depth in thoughts !Jerry of all trades, that´s my boy!!
And then it makes you think about how can a man be so talented, articulate, intelligent, deep and also so freaking gorgeous! It's too much!
Brilliant comedian, script writer, director, producer, entertainer.... another Stan Laurel. Not many like him anymore.
very well said!
Such an amazing, wonderful man! So intelligent and emotional! His laugh is so damn sexy!
Honey get over it!!!
73 years in show business! Holy moly! Jerry Lewis was a unique , precious human being. RIP 💗
I❤JERRY
I hate him
How nice to see this here! This part of his interview i've never seen before!!!!

Thanks for posting.
Just wow !
Mr. Suskind brings up 1,001 negative comments and asks Jerry for his reaction. What's up with that?
Great interview!

Makes me wonder where he found the time for his affairs.
Jerry did think he'd be a huge movie writer/producer/director as he went into his 40's and 50's. But he made some movies in the late 60's that didn't star him that absolutely flopped. Then after the "Day The Clown Cried" disaster in 1972, no studio would even think about hiring him to direct their movies.
After 1972 the only thing he did that was worth a damned was when he appeared in The King of Comedy and as Eli Sternberg in Wise Guy on TV.
'Funny bones' was an excellent film and he did very well on stage in Damn Yankees. He managed to work practically from a kid until he died, so an amazing achievement.
I didnt know he was taping his own interview thats A little unsual isnt it?
mark ruane As I understand it, he always kept a record of every programme he was on, even going back to when he worked with Dean Martin. I believe at some point he gave a lot of the tapes to an American archive museum for safe keeping.
He always did that!

The man abandoned his sons,one is living on the street as we speak
