Jeez, I was browsing TH-cam and landed here, and watched all the interview. Never thought I was going to spent not even a minute here. Great entertainer this man Lewis is.
I'm in the audio visual business and this man invented what we still use today called the "Preview Monitor". He invented this simple little tv so he can see what he just shot a few minutes ago. the man was way ahead of himself. A true genius.

Jerry Lewis has always given great interviews. Some celebrities are boring; not Jerry. He is extremely articulate and intelligent. I could listen to him for hours.

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!!
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face ....
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.
.........14 years after this interview in 1995 Jerry was hugely successful on Broadway in Damn Yankees. RIP, Jerry Lewis. He left a magnificent legacy.
Just a great interview. Probably the best interview ever done with Jerry Lewis. He starts out hating Bill; his contempt and lack of respect is evident. But Bill hangs in there punching back immediately by referencing Jerry's reputation for being difficult, hard to get along with, his bankruptcy, etc. Within ten minutes, you sense that Jerry has completely flipped and that the two of them are becoming friends. Great example of parrying a tough interview subject.
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.
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.
Anyone who gets Jerry Lewis...understands that He isn't a jerk...He is just playing the part of Buddy Love. Watch the original "Nutty Professor" and you will understand that statement. He is really a warm guy.
Jerry is pretty gracious. You can see the frustration on his face throughout the interview. What an uninsightful interview for the most part. But... Jerry is a great speaker and that is always a pleasure.
I think JL had the ability to make a very serious actor. I think he grew comfortable in his comedic roles. He could have made an incredible actor, he could be serious and vulnerable. With his previous film characters I think would have been welcomed with Huge accolades. Thank You Jerry Lewis
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.
Jerry is from the old school of real great men and geniuses in their craft. He is good enuff to be arrogant and he speaks his mind, one of the privileges we have lost in today society of politically correct idiocy! I am glad such men /generations existed..
We are so lucky to live today to see what we want to see and to see the funny guys like Jerry Lewis and his Dad work with the Three Stooges at one time.
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.
THE MAN IS A GENIUS, WHETHER YOU LIKE HIM OR NOT, AND ONE OF THE LARGEST FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTORS TO BENEFIT MANKIND EVER. I THINK HE'S AMAZING AND LOVE THE HECK OUT OF HIM. GOD BLESS YOU, JERRY!!!!
Cheryl M very well said!I love Jerry! He was a unique, genius, wonderful, and giving man! I believe that a lot of people fear uniqueness and creativity. Some people do not like sincere and straightforward people either. Simple-minded people are more comfortable among other simple-minded people. That's a fact!
Cheryl M The sad part about Jerry Lewis is he left his wife and six children, and he left all of them out of his will and even wouldn’t allow them to come to his funeral are used to love Jerry Lewis and his comedy but it really hurt me that he did this to his children and it devastated them we don’t know these people who are on the stage we can’t read their heart.
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.

What was great about the "King Of Comedy", was that Lewis was basically playing himself. Rude, self important or not, bitter, or angry, he is a fascinating study in humanity.
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.
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face ....
hardly working was like a big long commercial, there was product placement throughout the film, no scene matched up with the next, it was like 20 sketches all thrown together
Great interview! I especially like the last quarter. You asked him to move to New York and then he discussed being 9. That part was very sweet, quite touching. Thank you Bill for the Nine, great stuff!
Would love to see dates posted on videos like this. I figured out that this must have been 1981 by the comment he made about his age at the time, but still....
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!
Jerry was so generous to put up with this interview. And he's been accused of being arrogant and short tempered through out his life... That's not fair...
sparklytimetraveler I may be wrong but I always thought that stars had prior knowledge of the questions they would be asked, and reserved the right to say beforehand what they would, and wouldn't, be prepared to discuss in the interview.
Terrible Interview. The Interviewer is asking far too long Questions and then interrupts all the time. Lewis is a Legend though. Head and shoulders over all is contemporaries incl Sinatra, Dean etc.
9:07 That is a half truth. Jerry was addicted to Percodan from 1974-78. Those years are dead in his brain, by his own admittance. That's why things began to get better after 1978.

He doesn't exude the amiable personality one would expect for a great comic. He is undoubtably great at his craft but it seems a artificial product because he so serious in real life it seems his comical antics are more "forced" than other comics.

Matias Jordan, child abuse?? I instead thank God that my parents introduced me to his movies!!! His movies made me smile when I was sad, brought joy to my childhood and adolescence. They still have the same effect on me as an adult! Thank you Jer for your genius and for the joy that you donated to others! I love you!
It would be hard to imagine an interviewer who wouldn't make a fool of himself with Lewis (who seems to always be there 100%). It would just be so hard to keep up. At least the guy didn't allow himself to be intimidated (which would've been bad in another way).
This has to be March or April 1981, as Jerry mentions recently celebrating his 55th birthday (March 16) and Hardly Working is being primed, and that came out I believe early April.
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.

Thanks, yes..we connected eventually
I feel as though Jerry Lewis had an icredible in sight into so many things. Very talented and very smart man. RIP Jerry.
Jerry Lewis; the Greatest ever,there's only ONE JERRY
Jerry Lewis is a bonafide GENIUS....whether anyone likes it or not!!! NO one alive can come close to hm!
I could listen to Jerry speak all day every day for the rest of my life. His voice is just delicious.
I know....
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.
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.
Anyone who gets Jerry Lewis...understands that He isn't a jerk...He is just playing the part of Buddy Love. Watch the original "Nutty Professor" and you will understand that statement. He is really a warm guy.
Tell that to HIS X wife and 5 children whom he left out of his WILL... HES A JAGOFF
Jerry is pretty gracious. You can see the frustration on his face throughout the interview. What an uninsightful interview for the most part. But... Jerry is a great speaker and that is always a pleasure.
He would spit on you. That was his style…
I think JL had the ability to make a very serious actor. I think he grew comfortable in his comedic roles. He could have made an incredible actor, he could be serious and vulnerable. With his previous film characters I think would have been welcomed with Huge accolades. Thank You Jerry Lewis
Many thanks for sharing this marvelous interview, it's so precious!!! You did a great deed for all JL Fans with puttıng this on youtube, thanks Bill.
Great and an open interview ! Love it , thanks Bill

To all the people who just *love* Jerry Lewis ...
Kool Aid anyone???
Will Ferrell is wonderful playing the role as a interviewer.
George Foster, especially racist, ignorant, and childish people like yourself :) OHHH wouldn't that be great!!!!
Hahaha I thought the same thing.
Shame that millions now don't know what a living legend this man is!
And if you didn't know that, just ask Jerry!
Michael Klein yes, jerry will tell you what a legend he is.
OR ATLEAST IN HIS OWN MIND
14:38 what he says here brought tears to my eyes...
Love Jerry here. Smoking and having sharp wit. Looking so handsome.
This guy asks the longest questions, when he finally gets to the end, you have no idea what it's all about.
Bobby Paluga Lol :D
lolol
How prophetic...Lewis of course would become an enormous hit on Broadway in Damn Yankees!
Loved this interview.
Thank you for watching us. Pls fo0llow me @realbillboggs on IG
Thus interviewer looks a little like a young WILL FARRELL.
You almost spelled it correctly.
@@DaSillyGoose
Auto correct
when Jerry laughs in this interview he reminds me of John Travolta
jerry lewis is not an asshole! he is a comic genius!
He has some Long Finger Nails
Guy looks like Will Ferral
Jerry's accident was in 1965, not 1966. It was on March 20, 1965 at the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas.
Jerry is the REAL talent! Forget about the other guy! Sorry, but that's how I feel.
If they ever make a film about Bill Boggs, he will played by Will Ferrell.
if you like his humour, or not... he was (he is still alive by-the-way) comic genius...
It makes a certain amount of sense to double bill Deep Throat with a Lewis movie. Both make you gag
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.

I was thinking Will Farell mixed with Kevin Nealon.
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.

Jerry, is a wonderful person….
hardly working was like a big long commercial, there was product placement throughout the film, no scene matched up with the next, it was like 20 sketches all thrown together
dis great man make generations of spaniard have a LOL moments seeing his movies big thanks mister Lewis
the donut scene in Hardly Working is to me the best ever, wished he would have shown it here
Jerry Lewis knew a lot and very funny
I didn't realize the gas station scene from the movie "The Jerk" came from Jerry Lewis originally. About halfway through this video.
Extremly intelegent and funniest of all time....
Great interview! I especially like the last quarter. You asked him to move to New York and then he discussed being 9. That part was very sweet, quite touching. Thank you Bill for the Nine, great stuff!
Comic Genius!!!!
lmao! The first line of questions in the beginning with Jerry's answers funny as fuck
Sure I've heard of Jerry Lewis he's the man, but never heard of Bill Boggs!
He is still the handsome man.
Oh God, yes!!!! He is gorgeous!!!
I agree. Jerry's "fans" are more like Moonies.
How anyone can be *oblivious* to Jerry Lewis' rudeness and obnoxiousness is beyond me.
Where's the last segment?
Would love to see dates posted on videos like this. I figured out that this must have been 1981 by the comment he made about his age at the time, but still....
1981 is probably correct, I remember I was dating a woman at that time and we discussed Jerry Lewis' work, etc.
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!
Jerry was so generous to put up with this interview. And he's been accused of being arrogant and short tempered through out his life... That's not fair...
Yep! I agree 100% with you!
true
Anyone think Bill looks like a young Will Ferrell
Jerry is very intuitive, and doesn't like set up questions about his personal problems/preferences etc..
He also seems to love a debate haha
sparklytimetraveler I may be wrong but I always thought that stars had prior knowledge of the questions they would be asked, and reserved the right to say beforehand what they would, and wouldn't, be prepared to discuss in the interview.
I am so much like him...
great music....
funny intelligent man!
Terrible Interview. The Interviewer is asking far too long Questions and then interrupts all the time. Lewis is a Legend though. Head and shoulders over all is contemporaries incl Sinatra, Dean etc.
Whatever happened to his musical based on his movie The Nutty Professor?
That was a pretty good interview
9:07 That is a half truth. Jerry was addicted to Percodan from 1974-78. Those years are dead in his brain, by his own admittance. That's why things began to get better after 1978.
Ron Burgundy interviewing Jerry Lewis? Is this a deleted scene from Anchor Man?
Lewis is great

How not to do a interview 😁
Pretty sure it's currently playing on Broadway.
Be NINE tonight.
This is one of the best celebrity interviews. I saw him on The Talk Show in his 80's.....interesting to see the man behind the comedy...if u are Bill Boggs, you knocked this out of the park. Could U please add the year of the interviews? I had to sub your channel , it's fascinating !!

Bill--do you have a copy off the opening music theme to Midday Live from 1975?
Jerry makes Adam Sandler look like a cross between Woody Allen and Charlie Chaplin.
just because he does a telethon,doesn't give him an exemption from being called a nasty prick.
He doesn't exude the amiable personality one would expect for a great comic. He is undoubtably great at his craft but it seems a artificial product because he so serious in real life it seems his comical antics are more "forced" than other comics.
Dominic Greenwood wow just wow

I will never forget that.
It was child abuse
Funniest you tube comment I've seen in a while.

That fly freaked me out. I thought it was real for a second...wait...yeah, a few seconds
Matias Jordan I loved Jerry Lewis as a kid...I'd laugh until I cried. Still enjoy his craziness.
Matias Jordan if you dislike him so much why are you watching his interview.
Matias Jordan, child abuse?? I instead thank God that my parents introduced me to his movies!!! His movies made me smile when I was sad, brought joy to my childhood and adolescence. They still have the same effect on me as an adult! Thank you Jer for your genius and for the joy that you donated to others! I love you!

Midday live was done at WNEW TV-5 in NYC. How was this tape obtained?
Pity we don't see the entire interview :(
