He's not kidding when he said he knows people who get 20 million a film to do Jerry's act. So many comedians have been inspired by Jerry Lewis that there are so many who have picked scraps from the master's table. Jerry Lewis is the King of Comedy.
This is really precious. I didn't know they had performed together. Martin Short is the best Jerry Lewis impersonator by a country mile and Jerry was obviously delighted with him. Thanks for the upload.
Marty is a nice man, with the dancing & singing and the things, who makes you feel good..a lot. And Jerry? He was beloved...especially by all the LAAAAAAAAAAADIES! 0:
Jerry Lewis orchestrated a show effortlessly. He never missed a beat, always raised the bar. Truly gifted at live stage presence. Performances were 100%.
sooke54 you're kidding, right? Jerry was shooting him daggers and being passive aggressive that whole time. Watch the one where Short came on as Glick. Lewis was so keen to upstage him he kept stepping on his jokes and forced Short out of character. Short is a pro, though. He managed to kill even with a hostile straight man in Lewis.
You are saying he didn't force him out of character by calling him Martin Short instead of Jiminy Glick? You may want to rewatch it because that absolutely happens. It's not even debatable.

I miss this sooooo much, JERRY ( MADE ) America Great ( AGAIN ). RIP Jerry. and thank you sooooo much for you being you, a fan from Gatineau Quebec Canada.
I remember being about 13 years old and singing the Little People song on one of Jerry Lewis Telethons! Don't remember much about that except all the food afterwards!
Boy, these two hate each other, don’t they. They may be both icons but they are two generations apart and full of angst, both of them . A perfect song for two over compensators but sooo talented and full of experience. Thanks for posting. Thanks god they both sing so well. Love it.
I don't think they hated each other. Lewis could be really evil though. I'm actually kind of surprised he embraced Short. He probably viewed Short as a younger version of himself, thought they could do well together.
@@marymagdalene3004 I don't think you're right some old guys can still have really good hair, I'm very good at spotting fake hair. Ronald Reagan was another, some old guys just have great hair.
Well now, that to me IS entertainment and I knew Martin could sing fairly well but had not idea he could sing perfect harmony as is demonstrated at the end of this video. You can tell they really like each other but anyone that doesn't like Martin Short has a screw loose anyway.
Lewis was one of the greatest comedians of all time. He kept a 24 hour marathon going until his 80s. The MDA should've given him a phenomenal swan song when he stopped the telethons, and there's some talk (although I've never seen confirmations) that they were less than respectful about it.
So glad that MS stayed with JL toe-to-toe. Most comics would cow-tow to JL - but by Short staying on the same level with JL, he actually challanges JL and makes him better/younger.
I noticed it now: Martin Short, who is imitating Jerry, is on the right side (for us watching), Jerry who is the "straight man" right now is on the left side exactly how he and Dean looked when they worked together . And they both ALWAYS held the same position for the rest of their lives with whoever they later performed "separated". I don't think it's a coincidence at all.
Did they do anything more together? They’re strangely (in)compatible. Jerry was a great straight man at times and he should’ve been here. He was between worlds. Interesting. 🙏
Answering comments about Short outdoing Jerry. Not really. I was impressed how Jerry let Short on his show, even after Short did a parody on Jerry for SCTV. I was further impressed with Jerry letting Short run free and take the lead, as he did with other guests on his show. Jerry could be a descent guy
Jerry Lewis (de nacimiento Joseph o Jerome Levitch, Newark, Nueva Jersey; 16 de marzo de 1926-Las Vegas, Nevada; 20 de agosto de 2017) fue un comediante, actor, cantante, director y humanitario estadounidense.
I remember this! (I have no idea how, so if anyone asks, I will NOT hesitate to slap the first youtuber that is stupid enough to do so right in the block button. LOL just kidding.)
and I apologize for asking this, but does anyone know if Barney (meaning the dinosaur.) ever made an appearance on one of the telethons? (If he ever did I have to assume that it was either on the 1993 telethon or the 1994 telethon.
Great performance. Whoever handled Jerry's audio did a superb job - Jerry never sounded so good. Martin's sound was not as well setup, he sounded too far from the mic - he actually has a much better voice than you get here.
@@jamesanthony8438 Jim Carrey does what Jerry Lewis couldnt do, his impressions are wild, true, they both do physical comedy, but Lewis stole from Charlie Chaplin
@@derekgiesbrecht1554 Mel Brooks did as well, you can def see some Chaplin influences on Brooks... but Mel is also a genius at a barrage of other things which make up for anything he copied from Chaplin.
Yeesh. Watching this right now and when he did the kathryn Hepburn impression, it almost sounded like RFK Jr. No disrespect intended. But it did sound like him.
Stupid and they've been better, but not this time... the thrusting was unnecessary...Short was just trying to pick up the tempo because it was too slow for him...a couple of pros, yes, but... new material would be great.
Its like Martin Short is walking a tightrope of making Jerry laugh and pissing him off!
Not everybody could hold their own with Jerry and even make him laugh. New respect for Martin. They were so good together.
Martin Short, not Dean Martin, you are referring to.
Wow. Never thought I'd see Jerry as the straight man.
Martin's Jerry imitation wasn't done with malice or contempt. He really respected the guy.
Oh, oh, oh ...
Only Martin could "out Jerry "Jerry!
👍☺️
lots of practice and youth

Ace Wilcox, best comment! :)
I miss the Jerry Lewis Telethon, it's was really the last true way to show the variety acts especially to raise money. So sad how they did it.
This is really precious. I didn't know they had performed together. Martin Short is the best Jerry Lewis impersonator by a country mile and Jerry was obviously delighted with him. Thanks for the upload.
martin short catherine heburn best ever
Martin doing Lewis on SCTV is art.
th-cam.com/video/GgwVdVmazYA/w-d-xo.html
You could tell Lewis loved Short. Short cracked him up.
He loved him once Martin became a bonafide star
Early on not so much.
Wow, Jerry in a good mood and acting like a gentleman. They were actually a good pair together.
Marty is a nice man, with the dancing & singing and the things, who makes you feel good..a lot. And Jerry? He was beloved...especially by all the LAAAAAAAAAAADIES! 0:
Martin Short is very talented. I miss Jerry Lewis though.
loved jerry
Jerry Lewis orchestrated a show effortlessly. He never missed a beat, always raised the bar. Truly gifted at live stage presence. Performances were 100%.
The 21 hour telethon program live is a testament to the experience and professionalism that Lewis had. Honestly who today could pull that off?
It’s like having two nuclear bombs go off in the same place.
They are amazing!
The only other 'Martin' who could really work and work well with Jerry. Love them both so much.
I've always wondered if Martin Short's impression pissed Jerry off. Glad to know he loved it.

you must be seeing something no one else does
You are saying he didn't force him out of character by calling him Martin Short instead of Jiminy Glick? You may want to rewatch it because that absolutely happens. It's not even debatable.
I don't think Jerry would have Martin on if he really disliked him or his work. Just my opinion.

Martin short is someone I'd love to meet. Top man !!
Marty really brings out the best in Jerry
I miss this sooooo much, JERRY ( MADE ) America Great ( AGAIN ). RIP Jerry. and thank you sooooo much for you being you, a fan from Gatineau Quebec Canada.
"The Adolphe Menjou's of tomorrow" LMFAO.
I didn't get the joke. I'll have to ddg the name.
They make it look easy, but there is a lot to remember and do here and time together. Props!
Two entertainers with so much charisma and magnetism. Don't know which one has more!!
Just amazing!!! Go Martin!! ❤
WOW! ALOT of my sense of humor has come from watching Jerry Lewis Movies! I've been a HUGE Fan my WHOLE LIFE! :D
I remember being about 13 years old and singing the Little People song on one of Jerry Lewis Telethons! Don't remember much about that except all the food afterwards!
you're very fortunate!
When I was a kid me and my mother collected for MDA for Jerry's kid's
We made the rounds in the neighborhood in 1960.

Two of the funniest! :)
Love you Marty !! 😘
Wow! Show Business in its essence--I'm gobsmacked that Martin Short seems never to have referred to this on any chat show . . . thanks!
Incredible seeing them together!
I CANNOT like this enough!
Martin short is just so good with him. There is so much Love and respect from both sides. sweet and amazing✨😌
Two legends
Martin Short doing Jerry Lewis is a million times funnier than Jerry Lewis himself.
This is great! I wasn't expecting this much chemistry!
He felt so happy and delighted...
i love
The pity laugh Martin gives Jerry after he bombs with the Dean Martin stick snake joke -- what a nice man.
JERRY Lewis And Martin And Martin.
Excellent, wonderful
This is beautiful.
Two of my favorite comedy heroes in one place and one amazing performances , just amazing
Ladies and gentlemen the high point of Martin Short's life right here.
Jerry always had great hair, ever notice that? Even into his 90s.
Hair pieces placed strategically helped give that impression. Mainly on the sides.
@@marymagdalene3004 I don't think you're right some old guys can still have really good hair, I'm very good at spotting fake hair. Ronald Reagan was another, some old guys just have great hair.
Jerry always looked like his ‘opponent’ was always one step away from getting punched out 🤣
I hear in France, Martin Short is considered a God.
Brilliant.
Well now, that to me IS entertainment and I knew Martin could sing fairly well but had not idea he could sing perfect harmony as is demonstrated at the end of this video. You can tell they really like each other but anyone that doesn't like Martin Short has a screw loose anyway.
Jerry was awesome for doing the telethon..now no one does ittt😢
Martin Short's Ed Grimley dance!!!! ☺️
Love this...comedy gold, I wonder what Jerry thought of Martin's impression...he really does Jerry the best : )
Pure Gold!
My cheeks hurt from smiling through this entire clip. So good!! :D
Fantastic!
Just brilliant 😅

Excellent
After having played him so many times this must have been trippy.
Marty was being kind. Too kind.
lol Marty wasn't being kind! He is a huge fan of Jerry Lewis so he is actually honored to be with him and imitate him! That's for sure
Very funny comedy sometimes genius types. The Nutty Professor was underrated. Marty is part Jerry Lewis finding his way with Jerry.
So glad that MS stayed with JL toe-to-toe. Most comics would cow-tow to JL - but by Short staying on the same level with JL, he actually challanges JL and makes him better/younger.

This was so brilliant. Just b4, they booted Jerry from his own baby, years later.
OMG martin short :)
Goddamn..
love em both!
That’s entertainment!
Marty Short and Jerry Lewis, Singing and Doing Impressions

He always pretended to be light and funny but I think there was an element of menace to Jerry.
LOL :)
Saxophonist Tom Scott is the music director. That is a man of many talents!

I remember this! (I have no idea how, so if anyone asks, I will NOT hesitate to slap the first youtuber that is stupid enough to do so right in the block button. LOL just kidding.)
Jerry didnt like the "I know about 5 guys getting 20 million a picture doing your act" line.
Talent to burn.
knowing now what we do about Mr Lewis, It must have killed his ego being upstaged by Short. But France loved Jerry with a
"J".
and I apologize for asking this, but does anyone know if Barney (meaning the dinosaur.) ever made an appearance on one of the telethons? (If he ever did I have to assume that it was either on the 1993 telethon or the 1994 telethon.

Laverne and Shirley in drag
That Adolphe Menjou reference!
Name a comedian who does Jerry Lewis's act and makes 20 million a film
Jim Carrey?
@@jamesanthony8438 Jim Carrey does what Jerry Lewis couldnt do, his impressions are wild, true, they both do physical comedy, but Lewis stole from Charlie Chaplin

a lot of guys get 20 million a picture doing your act......seemed ad libbed....only Short can do it that well.
Ha, that explains Jerry's no sell
I think Jerry s the straight man but who the hell knows
Competing shtick. Just when I think I’ve seen Marty’s repertoire of cray-cray, he shocks me again. Sorry, Jerry. Martin Short is the King Of Silly.
Martin Short did a better Jerry Lewis than Jerry Lewis.
Martin Short loved Lewis and was influenced by him. It shows.
Is Martin the Broccoli?
02:07 Jerry did not like that joke at all. Struck a nerve I think.
Why, that was a great compliment!
@@vikings844 True, but Jerry always thought he was ripped off by others and underpaid. It was a sore spot.
Like Jim Carrey
Yeah, that was awkward and Jerry came back with the joke about Marty's hand...
I donated money to the show just to stop him from singing and I don't mean Martin Short
Adolphe Menjou was not young in 1933.
I mean he was 43... he wasn't THAT old either.
Thum di dum... There's no people like short people ...
This is rough
Stupid and they've been better, but not this time... the thrusting was unnecessary...Short was just trying to pick up the tempo because it was too slow for him...a couple of pros, yes, but... new material would be great.
Bit passive aggressive dynamic
