Jerry Clower was a WWII NAVY Veteran. Was a radio operator and was in a good many Pacific engagements. Got to see 2 times and he would stay after his shows and take pictures and sign autographs till everyone got one . He talk with everyone too . A Great story teller and Good Man ...
Such great stories from one of the best men ever. Absolutely love his timeless classics!!!! I was actually forced to watch or listen to him. 1 tv, and one old fm radio. So my brother and I had to watch or listen to whatever mom n dad were listening to. I certainly miss this storyteller. 100% clean but hysterical stories!!!!
Jerry's grandson,Jayree was a good friend of mine growing up. I've eaten lunch at his house in Liberty Ms several times,he was a strong, funny, kind man,the type of man we need more of in today's world. RIP Mr. Jerry
Grandfather knew Jerry Clower. He was a Baptist preacher for many years in SW Miss. Liberty, McComb, Gloster. He loved Jerry Clower. I grew up hearing Mercy Mercy Uncle Versey. Never knew who Uncle Versey was. Lol
Met him several times in Jackson Miss. he was a nice respectful everytime. Once had lunch at hotel in Jackson saw him he sat next table over. we had a nice conversation. Jerry was a great artist, missed his home spun stories.
I watched Mr. Jerry Clower do a show at the 1984 County Fair in Hohenwald, Tennessee. He was wearin' one of his fancy leisure suits and cowboy boots. He never said the first cuss word had the crowd in stitches the whole time he was on stage. It was one of the best comedy shows I'd ever seen in my life. That was 50 years ago and I can still picture him on the stage a cuttin' up and carryin' on. There'll NEVER be another Jerry Clower. ❤
Always puts a smile on my face. My dad bought every Jerry clower lp he could find when I was a kid. We’d sit and listen for hours to his stories.. a true southern legend ..
I ran sound for him, on two different occasions, many years ago, in a small, local venue. He was just the same off stage, as he was on it. I was impressed with how nice and friendly he was, to the "help".
This famous comedian came to our little county fair every year. After the show he would hang around for hours and talk to everyone and would usually go to dinner afterwards with some guests. My grandmother and I met him so many times that I thought he was part of the family. RIP old friend!!!
My uncle who grew up on the Louisiana-Mississippi line on the Louisiana side opposite of Vicksburg, Miss. My uncle looked so much like Jerry and he talked like him and told his jokes. They had family friends in common. My uncle passed away three years ago and as he was a second father to me I miss him dearly so when I really start missing him I watch Jerry and it makes it a bit better.
Clean, family fun. Now you can’t watch network tv for all the foul language and other “unfittin” things. Jerry Clower, Red Skelton, Tim Conway and such had a talent that went far deeper than most today.
Saw Jerry at a farm show in Goldsboro NC in the early ‘80s. Came out in a baby blue tuxedo and by the time he finished had the whole place rolling on the floor.
I had the pleasure to see Jerry perform at an arts and crafts festival in Georgia in the summer of 1992. I will never forget sitting in the grass in a field in front of the stage.
Back in my driving days over into the S.E. I used to hear Jerry on a radio station. One day I found a display of his cassettes at a TA in Georgia… after that I kept my eye open for new ones to play in my Semi 👍❤️
Yazoo City, MS native here. My dad built custom cabinets in his house on Easy Street. Mr. Clower was a nice, humble man who lived up to his Christian faith.
When u was teenager, I worked for my Dad. We traveled all over the state remodeling strip malls. I drove my truck wherever we went. That way I could run around wherever we went. (Usually gone a few weeks at a time. On obe trip, he rode with me to go turn the project back over to the owner and GET PAID!!!!. He loved Jerry. We listened to every cassette that Mr. Clower had out. Great times working for my Best Friend (my Dad). I learned to like Jerry Clower. My Dad and I laughed ALOT! Miss Ya Daddy. Thanks Mr. Closer. You brought me and my Dad very close!
Saw him when I was 15 years old @ the Tobacco Festival in Lake City South Carolina 1987. Our school let out early that day every year so we could go see Jerry Clower. Like it was a holiday.
I sat next to jerry on the big delta flights as he used to say . Not once but 3 times he remembered me and was as nice as a man could be. Wonderful person .
My Uncle Buck Brown played football with Jerry. Had a photo in his house of them side by side in their uniforms. Jerry Clower was one of a kind. Loved his comedy as a kid and still funny at 60yo.
He is so much like my ex father in law (from the greatest generation, served in Korea) from North East Mississippi. He made that same holler and talked just like him. Run off a dog the same way! I'll miss Pa for the rest of my days. He was a preacher and had a servants heart.
His story about the school where he graduated was a good one. He tells what happened to his classmates from that little country school. Well worth listening to.
I was gettin ready to take daddy to see Jerry in Raleigh, N.C. But Mr. Jerry passed away 2 weeks before that. I woulda loved to see him in person. Now I miss him and daddy. RIP to 2 good men.
Growing up as pastors kids Jerry Clower was the only comedian we would listen to. I remember listening to his stories on 8 track in the late seventies as a young kid with my parents. Great times.
Ole Brother Jerry Clower! Man, what a class act he was. A Southern Christian Gentleman, a Member of the United States Navy during World War Two, and one of the finest storytellers ya ever heard IN YOUR LIFE!!! I did some of my younger years, listenin' to him tell one funny story after another. Some of my favorites were Knock him out, John, Bunk Ledbetter, Newgene the lying Ledbetter, & Ole Slantface. There's so many of 'em, that he told, that I can't remember 'em all...but there's one thing about it: Brother Jerry Clower never made a habit of using foul language, in order to tell one of his stories. He was not only a very Devout Christian Man, but he was something else that I like:He was a Deep-Water Baptist! He believed in dunkin' somebody UNDER the Water, when they were gettin' baptized. They didn't sprinkle ya. No, sir! They dunked you UNDER! I'm an old-timer, and I believe in the old-fashioned way of doing things.
no idea how the algorithm landed here for me but so glad it did. My dad introduced me to Jerry Clower as a young man and it was the source of many inside jokes between us.
He does need to be in a Hall of Fame. The man was awesome. Great Jesus Christ man. But yes he needs to being a hall of fame. Thank you for saying that. Whoever did
I played a gig with The Smokey Paul (Hank WIlliams' guitar player) Band on the FL panhandle with Jerry. We did a set, Jerry did one, we did one, he did another etc. The last joke he told in his first set was "Knock Him Out, John" and it took me 3 songs to get my act together and play my piano. RIP Jerry, you throwed a cravin' on me.
I wish, oh how I wish I still had his record albums . . . (Lost them in the divorce, of course.) His short recitation to young people at graduation is Absolutely Priceless.
Man this dude is funny.. I never heard of him... He doesn't look like he can be funny, but he is hilarious..... I did some research on him and found out he is deceased.. But I will be searching for some of his old clips...
I would listen to WWL out Naw Awlins Charlie Douglas and the Over the Road Gang Show when I hauled horses to the race tracks . Charlie would play Jerry Clower frequently.
Yes loved him net him twice at Mississippi college my college at parkway Baptist and at southwestern seminary my friend so funny great man great Christian
I ran into Jerry waiting for an elevator at the Marriot Hotel in Nashville, he was quit rude because it was slow. He wore a star of David with a cross in it. I thought about asking him why he wore it ...
There will never be another Jerry Clower he is a true legend.
he knows how to milk a weak joke, southern funny i guess

My step father had me listen to this man every week he was west Virginia net I still have the tapes I listen to sometimes
Wow
Don’t get no better than Jerry. RIP 1998.
Needs to be in the Country Music Hall of Fame
He’s not? How????!!!!
For Shure 😊
He is a member of the country music Hall of Fame he was inducted in 1998
Yes completely agree I grew up listening to Jerry. Didn't have to use foul language real life stories
@@loribarker1376 you can't spell
Theres not another comedian like him. He is awesome.
Met him several times in Jackson Miss. he was a nice respectful everytime. Once had lunch at hotel in Jackson saw him he sat next table over. we had a nice conversation. Jerry was a great artist, missed his home spun stories.
My family and our friends had listened to Jerry since the 70s. He would have fit right into the family. 🙂
Cornbread will turn dogs into killers......
Cool story bros. 😎
I got to see him in Paragould, Arkansas not many years before he passed. I've seen several comedy acts live over the years. He was one of the best! 😊
@mela 1:54 niepaigehighfill-gassa8638
Paragould still have a State CMV inspection station?
It's probably one of Arkansas' most profitable offices.
When I was a kid I was a big fan of Hee Haw . Jerry was on from time to time. Loved watching him. Great comedian

I heard this story about 1000 times and it’s great every one.

God bless you, like my mother told me "son you'll never get over me dying , you just will learn how to live with it "

Jerry was the greatest comedian to ever do it and the whole family could listen to him.
Preached a great sermon at my church. Had the congregation laughing and crying.
This Gentleman ... was a CHAMP. The real deal, through and through
Been listening to Jerry Clower about 55 years still cracks me up.
A true king of comedy
I remember listening to him on my grandpa's front porch with him 30 years ago. Oooo the memories his voice brings back!!! 🥲

Lord have mercy I did enjoy listening to that man. Seen him in concert one time. I'll never forget it.
Reminds me so much of my daddy. I love this man and always will.
First time I ever heard him was just now...and I laughed...need more of this in today's times..laughter without filth
I remember listening to Jerry as a little girl. My parents didn't mind, he didn't curse or talk about things a little girl shouldn't hear.
I knew this one but had to hear it again when it showed on my feed.classic
Love Jerry. My grandpa was a Ledbetter

Grew up listening to Jerry just wish there was more people like him
Saw him when I was 15 years old @ the Tobacco Festival in Lake City South Carolina 1987. Our school let out early that day every year so we could go see Jerry Clower. Like it was a holiday.
Love those southern yarns, classic Americana. Nice rug, too.
I sat next to jerry on the big delta flights as he used to say . Not once but 3 times he remembered me and was as nice as a man could be. Wonderful person .
Oh my word!
My parents had an album of this guy way back in the early 80’s! I played that thing every evening until I practically wore it out!
We need comedians like Jerry now. Ain't nothing like good clean comedy.
I couldn't wait to get home from school everyday to put his record on and laughed at him for hours HE IS A TRUE COMEDIAN and truly missed😢
Clean country humor. A laugh a minute. Can't get any better than Jerry Clower.
The greatest country comedian ever. Put him in the grand ole Opry.
He was hilarious and clean. I love his bit about meeting a womens libber
Man the memories of Jerry Clower, this one takes me back
My momma played fiddle once at a barn down south and this man was there making people laugh it was one of my happy memories
My late grandma was a year ahead of him in high school. Said they were all nice people.
A True Class Act and Comedian!
I can listen/ watch this over and over again!👍👍
Born in 84. My dad and I use to listen to him on cassette tapes traveling. Loved him. He was the first comedian I loved to listen too
Enjoy listening to him and Justin Wilson
Them & lewis grizzard
JERRY CLOWER WAS A TRIP, AND A NICE FELLOW TOO - BRAVO!!!!!!!
My Uncle Buck Brown played football with Jerry. Had a photo in his house of them side by side in their uniforms. Jerry Clower was one of a kind. Loved his comedy as a kid and still funny at 60yo.
When a comedian has to laugh with the audience he just slayed... the greatness.
Great story teller! Thank you, Jerry!
Jerry Clower, Legend.
I do love to hear Mr. Clower tell his stories, he was a wonderful Southern humorist. I sure do miss you Sir, may you rest in peace.
What fun to come across this video! Jerry Clower & Lulu Roman visited my home church growing up-autographs in my bible- good people good memories!
He is so much like my ex father in law (from the greatest generation, served in Korea) from North East Mississippi. He made that same holler and talked just like him. Run off a dog the same way! I'll miss Pa for the rest of my days. He was a preacher and had a servants heart.
His story about the school where he graduated was a good one.
He tells what happened to his classmates from that little country
school. Well worth listening to.
I've been listening to him for 50 years now and I laugh at jokes like this was the first time I heard it.😅 I was happy to have known who he was ❤❤
Watched him live in Picayune, MS back in the 70s. He was hilarious!! I enjoyed every minute of it!
I was gettin ready to take daddy to see Jerry in Raleigh, N.C. But Mr. Jerry passed away 2 weeks before that. I woulda loved to see him in person. Now I miss him and daddy. RIP to 2 good men.

You can not replace the comedy of yesterday. Others have tried, but failed
Love Jerry! Subscribed.
Him describing supper makes me hungry!

Great Video!
Thank You :)
He's a hoot!!

Man, I have never seen this big hunk of man before.
But he sure leaves an impression, here in 2024.
never gets old
