JERRY LEWIS JUST TALKS

- Cinéma des Singes Hurlant Dame Entreprises et Sam Peters International Productions Unlimited présente JERRY LEWIS JUST TALKS: The Lost Interview, a nonfiction found-footage-not-for-profit-film starring Jerry Lewis. A companion to the 2014 documentary, TELETHON, at • TELETHON
This was filmed 3 months before my mother passed away in 1989, she loved Jerry, never missed his Telethon every Labor Day! Jerry Lewis was a fantastic person, humanitarian, all around Entertainer who could do it all and his work with Muscular Dystrophy for over 40 years is beyond incredible, PERIOD!!!!!
Jerry was all out, all the time. If he succeeded, if he messed up, he did it big and moved on. Egomaniac? No, I don't think so. I don't think an entertainer whose original act consisted of miming to records (of course, we all know of his amazing filmmaking talents, but it was a humble beginning, for sure) can last 80+ years in the business without having a keen sense of who he is and what he can do. He was the best judge of his own talents, weaknesses, and strengths. He was intelligent and smart. That's not being egotistical, in my opinion.
I love all his interviews because, as much as he made me laugh all my life, I could listen to him talk into infinity. He was sexy and handsome, goofy (which made him approachable and therefore even more appealing), so very talented and SO intelligent, such an engaging conversationalist.
As far as his own kids from his 1st marriage, the whole estrangement thing and he didn't leave them anything, etc., we don't know everything. Family dynamics can be very complicated when you're NOT famous with the whole world looking at you; imagine what it could be like when your life gets put under constant scrutiny. I'm just saying we don't know the real truth of all of that, so it's not wise to judge.
Anyway, I'll always love, adore, and admire this man. What he did for MDA and people with dystrophic diseases is almost incalculable. He cared, truly, with all his heart.
Love you, Jerry. ❤ Rest in peace, dear man.
Oh how you have been fooled! If you can’t detect his lies and inflated ego you probably will never know that your husband has cheated on you. JL cheated on his wife, beat his kids and raped women. For goodness sake do your research!
Todays people who think he was a monster aught to listen to this interview and hear the real Jerry Lewis and see how brilliant and terrific he was, PERIOD!!!!!
Or read about how he sexually harassed everything that walked in Hollywood
get your head out of the sand
@@2bigbufords Everyone nowadays especially younger and ignorant people keep on saying horrible things about entertainers of the past! Whether or not the rumors are true or not, their personal lives are really nobody's business and to put them under the bus after all the good they did at the time is Wrong! Jerry Lewis was a Brilliant, and Talented Entertainer, and did more for the industry than anyone today and that's a fact!!!!!
@@scottmiller6495 Gh, good one
@@2bigbufords Thank you, if you hear his kids tell it, you'd think he was a horrible man, let's see he helped Gary get started in the music business and made millions and millions of dollars and now that he's old and not popular anymore and didn't think of his future, all of a sudden it's his father's fault! And the daughter that's on drugs that got herself in real trouble, but it's her father's fault! And the rest of the family that's against Jerry because he didn't leave them rich, um maybe it's their fault, who knows and who cares, I'm sick of all of this crap, let him rest in peace, PERIOD!!!!!
A brilliant man I loved him as a child and respected him as an adult rest in peace Jerry
talk to his kids
@@2bigbufords I'm sick of this crap, it's nobody's business, Jerry Lewis was a brilliant man and did more for the entertainment industry than anyone today, plus the work he did with Muscular Dystrophy for over 40 years is beyond incredible, please all you reputation killing idiots, who don't know the real true story ,let him rest in peace, please!!!!!
@@scottmiller6495 sometimes the truth is painful
What a beautiful man! It breaks my heart that anyone could think negatively of him😖 I have loved you for all my life and I will continue to love you for the rest of my days Jer💗💗💗
Thank you so much for sharing 😊
Pammy, I know, I feel the same way :( I can't believe that people talk bad about him. I love him too, very very much
I'm so in love with him too!! Xoxo I wish I could have married him lol xoxo love you jerry!
I was always a fan. Of course he got crazier the older he got
Me to it hurts me so bad that I never met him people always say he smells so good lol man would I love to hugg him and smell him!! He was a wonderful man, and humanitarian and he still makes me laugh I will always watch his movies and live interviews he was so handsome there will never be another jerry Lewis!! I LOVE YOU JERRY LEWIS AND ALWAYS WILL RIP MY LOVE KNOWING HOW LOVED YOU ARE!!! XOXOXO
@@rogerrenner2216 he was NEVER CRAZY!!!!
I liked Jerry in this interview.
One of the greatest Icons ever in the entertainment industry and now people are telling horrible stories about him after he's been dead for years! His family and his personal business is nobody's business and nobody knows the whole story! His Muscular Dystrophy Telethons for over 40 years were incredible and Fantastic, plus all the other fabulous things he did in show business they're too numerous to name! Everyone should let him rest in peace and remember him for the great man he was, PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!
ask his kids
Great words from a Very professional clever guy I have always been a fan of Jerry lewis ❤
This is like looking at my father. The resemblance is uncanny. My father died very young and now I know why I've always been in love with Jerry. I'm so happy I got to meet and talk with him.
your father must be a gorgeous looking man then! :)
U met him? Did he smell good? Lol why couldnt I have married him famn it to hell!! You are very lucky that you met him sweetheart what a treat, wich you will remember forever good for you I am so happy for you from my heart enjoy your wonderful memories honey!! Xoxo Im jealous Im not going to lie lol😄
I worked with him and wish I never have.
@@rty1955 guess you werent up to his standards! 🤣
@@joannaconner4495 haha doubt it as i am an Emmy award editor.
What a great interview.
Jerry's real kids have some things to say about their Dad.
All kids do not just jerrys kids.
He was an absolute zero personally. Shit all over his biological family. What a hypocrite.
And most of it is exaggerated bullshit, because now that he is dead they can tell stories to the public about what kind of a monster Jerry Lewis was and most of it isn't as bad as they say! Besides nobody knows the whole story and to be honest it's nobody's business either! One example is his son Gary, who if it wasn't for his father, he never would have become famous and popular with his band, made all that money from quirky rock songs that were just so so at best! And mainly people forget besides being an accomplished actor and director, his work for Muscular Dystrophy for over 40 years was epic and incredible! Jerry's achievements in the industry are too numerous to name but anybody who wants to throw him under the bus better look in their own mirror and think about what I have written, he was an outstanding human being and Humanitarian, PERIOD!!!!!

RIP MY LOVE. TILL WE MEET SOMEDAY HOPEFULLY IN A NEXT LIFE!!!! Xoxoxo💕💕💕💕💕😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Joanna Conner I find him very attractive as well but I have a feeling he might’ve had serious homosexual tendencies. Just watching him and character is incredibly gay so he may have been struggling with that for a long time
He is not going to bang you, nice try though...p.s. he hated sycophants.
@@venganzamujer354 lol yeah. I don’t think his movies are funny but they have intense homosexual or anti-heteronormative subtexts. They’re weirdly psychoanalytic and avant-garde though, and I just really admire that.
Hey Em Zay, I'd love to hear more about these fascinating Jerry Lewis films. Can I send you an email?
What year was this?
In Sept 1988 The LA Times reports that the MDA Telethon earned $41,132,113.00 www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1988-09-06-mn-1512-story.html
which matches the figure Jerry says around the 14:18 mark and again at 14:32, so this interview must have been recorded somewhere between Sept 1988 and Sept 1989.
At 39:55 Bert (the interviewer) refers to an article coming out in Parade magazine on Sept. 3rd, which would have to be 1989. The link in the description, takes us to a documentary that's over 2 hrs long that seems to be shot during the same time frame. In that documentary, they are preparing for the Sept 1989 Telethon, leading to the conclusion that this interview was taken just before the Sept 1989 Telethon. So, Jerry would have been about 62 yrs old.
@@petersister Thanks 😊
Eliot Drake....that’s your opinion they are the ‘worst films’...many of his films are comedy classics. and what you call ego could be a reaction to having to defend himself against relentless criticism and/or being overlooked or ignored by film reviewers who at the time thought a person directing/writing/producing their own material was the result of an ego out of control. he paved the way so no-one today would say such an uninformed opinion about creative artist wearing multiple hats.....
emma goldman...I found out that it is useless to respond to some people..haters are haters....that's all He says that JL made the worst films LOOOOL yeah...you are right , it is just his little opinion. :) He made so many horrible movies that's why he became a star and is a legend for millions of fans including other actors, directors, and people whom learned from him and was inspired by him ALL OVER THE WORLD! :) :) :)
A VERY MEAN PERSON, IN PRIVATE
Jerry was a complex person - he was very insecure about his education or lack of it and as a result he was often very arrogant - but if he trusted you, then he would relax and could be a nice guy. But too often he was not relaxed and came off as a nasty guy.
Preach!
Probably bi-polar.
@@daniellebourgade8701 - You’re probably right - he definitely had some type of personality disorder, they used to just call it - > Being an arrogant asshole :)
@@ssnoc Lol 😁
What a bunch of crap. He forgot that there are still a lot of crew around to tell about their experience. RIP JL.
He was not caring for his family what so ever
Yeah he wasnt caring for his family thats why he busted his ass to make a wonderful home for them a huge mansion a yacht, vacations trust funds, helped his kids with their future plans, they wanted for nothing, they lived a wonderful life, I see alot of jealousy with people, jerry lewis worked so hard for his family and gave them everything including love and concern its sad that people feel the need to focus on the negative like they themselves sre perfect lol jerry lewis was a loving, kind, generous man and wonderful humanitarian who has faults like all of us!
Joanna Conner you sound jealous...daddy didn’t love you did he?
@@joannaconner4495 material things can never be a substitute for love, he was really nasty to his family, and he refused to acknowledge his homeless daughter!
@@lauraarcher6996 oh the only ones that know is them Jerry has said he was a father as a teen, and he wasnt very good at it until he became a man but those kids had a great life regardless you dont know his personal life so love him or hate him its your choice I will always love him he was a wonderful man RIP MY SEXY CLOWN XXO😋😋😋😋😋💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕!
@@joannaconner4495 well all that is true and In his prime I would have found it VERY hard to resist him so you would have had competition from me!!!🤩😜 But because I like him so much and however unrealistic it is I want him to be less flawed than he was!!! For some reason I am really upset about his daughter!!! Obviously I don't know all the details but I would like to think he had a good reason for not accepting her!!😕
What "progress" has been made for children afflicted with this disease after all almost 80 years of research? So there are clinics and research facilities where thousands are on the payroll, BUT what tangible results are being produced?
Do you know how to read and look up information??? Lol do some research if you know how and you will find out how much good was done from jerrys hard, work and sleep deprived at the MD TELETHON, if youre smart enough you will find out!
@@joannaconner4495 you have NO IDEA of what went on at the Telethomes, do you? Have you actually worked on one? I have amd many of my friend have.
So tell me what progress has been made beside keeping thousands on the payroll?
@@rty1955 do your research if you can manage it then you will see.dont keep asking me I know about all the good hes done and how the good helped the kids but if I could research all of it so can you, what were you a RUNNER for him to get his ice cream? Lol whatever it was you screwed it up along with others if jerry didnt like you and them.
I don't get it if you hate Jerry so much why are you here watching this video and trashing him in the comments at every chance? Deep down you must be conflicted must be a love/hate for jerry
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.
One thing, he took name of Jesus as cuss word. after housands of years the name of Jesus something powerful isvin that nane to withstand time. Jesus Is Our Lord Our God our law maker and our judge. I hope you made it to Heaven Jerry Lewis I sure hope you did
I'm sure he made a copy of the rights to all his movies at the door of heaven with Saint Peter or who's ever was the relief at that time
13 Percodan a day 🤣🤣😂😂. Try taking 20 at a time 4 times a day....I’m glad he cleaned up but Jesus Christ. “ a hard core addict”. Not even close.
You are right my friend! 13 Percodan a day is “kids stuff”! Try 560 to 720 MG’s per day of OxyContin! Or, try 96 MG’s per day of Dilaudid, the Heavy Duty pain medication they give “Terminal” Cancer patients when there is nothing left for doctors to do for a patient other than keeping them as comfortable as possible! Sorry Jerry, but I don’t buy it!
If he cared so much about his kids why didn't he donate the 2 million dollars he got paid for each teleyhon to muscular dystrophy?
Bullshit
I loved JL but he was NOT a good father, he left them with nothing
I remember the 5 part Wiseguy he was in. He was marvelous in the dramatic part. He should have won an Emmy. It was an amazing performance! With respect to the negative comments & the haters who started protesting his telethons & the term "Jerry's Kids", he was canceled before the cancel culture began in this country. He was the beginning of cancel culture.
So TRUE
I worked for Jerry, and found him to be a Unique man. A generous man, and I would have worked for him for nothing. RIP.
See I agree with you. He was a kind man and Im sure he would get frustrated if things didnt go well because he was a perfectionist, everyone gets upset about certain things just because he was a huge celebrity certain people trash him if he got upset about things hes human and doesnt have to be friendly all the time, ecspecially when he is frustrated! Im so happy for you that you had a chance to work with him and hopefully got to know him. Im jealous lol wish I met him, oh hell I wish I was married to him 😄💗 love that man so much and always will, thx for sharing your story 🙂💕
Mr. Lewis was a total egomaniacal, two faced, greedy ( left nothing to his children) , lying ( lied about never meeting Joan Rivers when he appeared on her show) philandering, abusive ( admitted to beating his son Gary until he put welts on the poor kids ass) , nasty no good son of a bitch. Hope he rots in hell. Shalom aleichem and lchaim. FYI: Demanding shekels based on a threat of disparaging another's reputation could be construed as extortion.
@@TATOIANENTERPRISES ,please try NOT TO HOLD BACK YOUR OPINION ABOUT JERRY LEWIS.YOUR MAKING HIM OUT TO BE A MASS MURDERER.MY PERSPECTIVE IS THAT PEOPLE SHOULD NOT JUDGE OTHERS,UNLESS WE KNOW AS A FACT.THE ONLY FACTS IM AWARE OF WAS JERRY LEWIS WORKING SOLO WAS A GREAT ENTERTAINER,AND WAS A HUMAITARIAN.THESE ARE NOT OPINIONS BUT FACTS.FROM ROBERT,THE S.F. GIANT FAN
Gerry cannell actor @voice artist,i commend you regarding your comments on jerry lewis.jerry was dedicated and a true perfectionist.he devoted his life raising money for his telethon.i guess you and sammy davis jr.have one thing in common.you both stated you would work for jerry for nothing and he was generous.you sir are a wise man.from robert the s.f.giant fan

That was a good interview, as relaxed as I've seen Jerry Lewis. Probably helped that the interviewer was low key.
Not an easy person to question I'd imagine - he often didn't seem to trust what people might ask and could come across as defensive, abrasive or bored of the same questions as he grew older.
I especially liked his reaction when he was asked about his hair 20 mins in... great laughter lines there.
Finding fame at such a young age must have been hard to adjust to and it's a shame he became such a complicated and apparently controlling perfectionist. There's a sense of pathos about him.. maybe life could never quite match up to the thrill of his years with Dean. They must really have been something to see live.
Despite how he was known to be difficult at times, I find myself mesmerized by this charismatic man. Handsome, prolific and creative. My favorite film 'The Nutty Professor' still stands the test of time. He was one in a million and give him his dues, he never gave up even though his health and consequent drugs took their toll. Doubt we'll see the likes of him again. A genius in his field. Very sad that he is no more.
I suppose the interviewer would be middle aged himself by now. I wonder how he himself felt about Jerry?
Ive seen every interview and enjoyed everyone, I love his laugh!! He was so HOT in his 50s dancing and singing and looking sooooo yummy lol everyone used to say how great he smelled, wish I could have had a wiff of him with a tight hugg lol amazing man there will never be another one like him yhats for sure, thx for sharing honey, I really enjoyed what you wrote!🙂
Exactly how I feel about this interview. No ego and relaxed. His legacy would be much different if he could have kept this demeanor for all or at least most of his interviews.💋
Us kids, when I was growing up, all loved Jerry Lewis. Every movie, and watching the Telethon year after year. Imagine only like three TV networks, and Jerry took up one whole network out if 3, for two whole days. I can see him clearly now, as an adult, and see and hear all the quirks and issues. But he still has that childhood "awe" I used to have, for like the first two minutes of this interview. Seeing him as a complicated man, but deep down, I think he tried his whole life to be a good man. We all wanted to be with Jerry during the Telethon, and be one of "his Kids".
bullshit. he screwed his own kids
Probably one the hardest working people Hollywood ever had. He could write, direct and film a movie on demand in 6 weeks (The Bell Boy) and make a masterpiece of comedic cinema.
At what cost to people? I take it that you didn't know him.
Oh he was wonderful he just inherited all his children he's nothing but a f****** creep
I meant to say he disinherited them all what a creep what a terrible man
So happy to hear that Jerry was aware that we loved him. He filled the gap for many of us that suffered intellectual abuse from our piers. LOVED YOU JERRY.
I also am a major fan of mr Jerry Lewis! I love him so much, yes I can see him being a perfectionist and getting angry with people who dont do their job, but I cannot understand why he disinherited all his sons because I see how he touches them and kisses them, I bet his sons were trust fund kids and maybe he gave them each money, to figure out what they wanted in life, I dont believe the abuse to his kids, but Jerry is the only one who knows why he did what he did, I love him now and always RIP MY LOVE JERRY XOXO
They say now that the will was forged
@@venganzamujer354 Whoa! thelifeandtimesofhollywood.com/jerry-lewis-troubling-claims-that-his-will-may-be-a-forgery/
Jerry paid the ex wife $450,000 per year as the divorce settlement. The boys inherited that. He also left his sons all the rights to his public work and private films.
If he raised over a BILLION dollars for Muscular Dystrophy research, then WHY do we not have the cure? The same goes for cancer research.
Valerie Griner I think they raised over 2 billion at this point. The way MDA fired Jerry was really really peculiar. I've heard rumors that there is a cure and MDA doesn't wanna release it or whatever because it's such a cash cow.
Because he was a greedy fuck up. Simple.
I don't know what cancer researchers are looking for. But I can guess a Big Pharma pill or drug they think wll save us all isn't going to cure anything. More of the same old toxic drugs which are proven to cause cancer.
In the early 50's he was on record saying if they could only get 1 million dollars in one shot they can have a cure. Obviously that didn't happen.
There is no money in curing the sick in a country where health care is private.
Thats why the big pharma companies
spend the millions in donations on "other stuff" in their infrastructure and then alter things in accordance.
Amazing hard working person love ya jerry miss u loads xxxxxxx
i dont know if i like this guy
but ,clearly
he IS a genius
Yeah, he is an actor, once the cameras are rolling he acts. You should see him when there is no audience
The opening music (Basie) of this video is what I use on my radio show. It's awesome!
What a bullshiter. Ask his kids
This is amazing!
Terrific interview! Thanks for uploading this :)
Jerry has a real good side to him as well as a not so good side to him like most people.
Yrs sir, thsts exactly right. Nobody is perfect. He just said I turn things into positive energy.
Most people don’t disown all their kids
@@WonkaBiz TRUE!
Never get to know your heroes.
Jerry was a great Entertainer, but a lousy person.
He was truly a genius. The world has lost someone very, very, special.
Yes. Jerry was unique, VERY driven, and a genius at what he did best. he also survived all kinds of huge obstacles in his life.
Renick Saro, I agree, Jer was one special person...one of a kind. There will never be another one like him :( he was a kind and very intelligent man! He was so unique, a man ahead of his time, a pioneer, a magnificent clown that was able to touch people's hearts with his heart and talent.
He endured so much pain throughout his life, but gave others so much love and joy. Unfortunately, he was misunderstood by some people in this country because of his being straightforward and real, but he was a true genius and a wonderful human! Such a loss :( R.I.P beautiful man, you did very well! Thank you for the joy and the laughter. I love you Jer!
@@marym5037 I agree with you mary you said it perfectly He was all those things and more, I watch his videos, interviews everyday to make me smile and feel happy for the whole day Rip my love, youre back with your partner dean wherever you both are Ill picture you together making people happy and making them smile!🙂💕💕
He said in an interview he has an IQ of 189.🤔
Einstein had an IQ of 160
Bandit 1 OJ said he was looking for the real killer too. 😂.
Shame he didn't look after his own kids and wives.
Lovely interview.
Thank you, for showing me this...
Too bad he couldn't turn the character off for his children.
The ex wife poisoned the children.
I grew up with Jerry I like to him in all of his movies I don't understand why he disowned his kids
He left them all his rights on his films.
@@daniellebourgade8701 No he didn't.
I just love Jerry and all the work he did for Muscular Dystrophy. Rest In Peace.
I feel bad for his tragedies in life. But I guess that’s what made him such an interesting man
WITH RED SKELETON, AND NOW JERRY LEWIS BOTH GONE ,COMEDY HAS GONE BOOM
Red Skeleton spoke at my college commencement at Indiana State. One thing he said was ," There are 4 things to worry about: 3 of them never happen and the one that does wasn't nearly as bad as you thought it was going to be....."
Incredible human being. He made his mark. RIP 💗
Brilliant and then some!!!!!
Man what a cool guy this Jerry is and
doesn’t mind bragging on himself..
I loved him, i guess he had a bitter temper but i still Love him.
praying for a cure for all Neuro muscular diseases .
He hurt his sons big time by cutting them out of his will and leaving it all to his 2 Nd wife and adopted daughter,,,,adopted not flesh and blood
Why didn’t you care about your own children?
He did Joanie! He was very attached to his kids! His kids loved him as well! He helped them a lot in the past! I believe that when Jerry fell, got seriously hurt, and addicted to percodans, something went really wrong! Jerry tried to take his own life at a certain point! I'm not sure what happened between them. They really loved one another. Jerry probably felt also lonely, unloved, or who knows...However, things happen in life and families. We really do not know what their situation was! We don't even know if he left them something that wasn't in the will! His kids got money on their own and Gary had a huge career for a very long time! Once his son Chris said in an interview that many things the press and the people say about his dad are untrue! He said a lot of stuff about the will is untrue as well! Plus Jer had another family for 36 years! I also believe that a certain point in their life kids should do something for their parents and not the other way around. Some of his kids weren't very good to Jerry as well or to one another.I'm just saying that judging Jerry's decision is wrong because we do not know pretty much anything! I think that Jer was a wonderful performer and an amazing human being! He gave joy and laughter to the world and helped kids in need! That's all we should care about really! :) :)
Good point! Show biz people are even more "contradictory" than most people.
I think his child are not pour childs, he gave him enough money in his life to make it
Mary M You are absolutely right, but yet here you are defending this devil.
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.
Miss ya Jerry
What four films did he make between 73 and 77 when his imdb lists nothing?
3:11 blackmail???
I ALWAYS LIKE HIM AS A COMIC ACTOR BUT WHEN I SAW HIS WORK WITH M D MAN I HAVE A SON WITH M D HES A RARE REAL CARING MAN UNLIKE THE SELFISH PRIMA DONNA TYPES TODAY HE ALWAYS SAID DO WHAT YOU WANT AS AN ADULT HE HATED DO GOODERS AND LIVED TILL HIS 90S AND THIS A FACT HE WAS A GENIUS ON COMEDY
HE WAS A TOTAL GRUB. DO YOUR RESEARCH!
So what happened to him in '49?
Vou amar-lhe, por toda minha vida😔
Very intelligent man here love jerry😂🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Apparently he was a charitable person, but a workaholic and a perfectionist, which must have greatly affected his relationship with his family and some co-workers, which is why there were people who loved him and others who hated being around him. A guy who perhaps had a sincere and good heart, but was problematic and very demanding. As an actor he was incredible, and as a director too, but as a person only those close to him and GOD can know.
GOD knows Jerry was an asshole.
Interesting comment he makes..."a lie begets a lie and research information begets research information." Very deep.
Prove it you lier
jerry lewis is smart and a man who might have been hurt by a the stidio paramount that canilced his cintract stooped men who let that genius go paramount were dum to let him go
I love how he mentioned trying to find a cure. There will never be a cure.
Give me money or I will tell tales about you! !!!!Nice fella.
So is he saying he doesn't remember the reunion with Dean?
+joe nelson good question! it was the 1976 or 77 telethon that Dean came on? I would think that would be an exception to those four years......hopefully anyway....
Paulette Washburn It IS a very good question, and extremely puzzling because I have seen other interviews on You tube where he talks about how he felt when Dean walked out onto the stage that night in 1976. For example, in part 7 of the EHTS documentary on the givethechanceakid channel Jerry said; "I remember thinking, dear God give me something to say" That appears to be a very specific memory, and seems to contradict what he says here in this interview.
Linda Shelley I remember him saying he remembers things from then but day to day operations and some things that he feels he probably should've remembered he can't.
Do your research in all interviews he couldnt say enough about that reunion he loved it so much, he himself said if you look you can see the love in our eyes and yes I saw it and it was wonderful!
His hands are constantly moving - mostly to his face. Interesting. Yet - he is so smart - intelligent - speaks well - means well - yet he didn't inherit his biological sons - which tells you something about his true nature. Talented - yes - -- always nice - not so much
No. Wrong. He paid his ex wife $450,000 per year for the rest of her life, in the divorce settlement. The boys inherited that. Also, he gave his sons the rights to all his work and private film.
growing up with the MDA telethons in the 70's I always remember my father being negative towards Jerry, saying things like "oh he just goes back stage and pops pills, then he will go sleep for four or five hours, then pop some more pills before he goes back on stage" and would say "too bad all the money they raise won't go to those kids, but into Jerry's pocket" for some reason I found myself feeling sorry for Jerry, as i remember thinking he always seemed so sincere, especially when he was with the kids, however as I got older I remember seeing him occasionally and allowing the words i heard growing up entangle my thinking of him, which is sooo sad! how our parents thinking really can influence us even after we've left the nest!! So today I am so thankful to see this video, as seeing is believing, and wow! what a man of compassion with real heart, I also watched a video w/Jerry on the Dick Cavett you could see his sincerity come to life also in watching that. Halleluia to Jerry! I'm all teared up! Thank you Jerry for the years of service you have blessed us with! and your still alive!!! AMEN!
Amen

Very sad that your dad said that about Jerry and influenced you..I thank God my parents watched everything with me with no negative comments..they loved the Beatles even with the long hair(at the time).
@@dakotahstr Yes! My parents LOVED Jerry too and introduced me to his movies when I was just a little girl! My father is a huge fan of the Beatles as well!
I love Jerry Lewis wish I married him! His wife should have controlled those kids when he got home from work, explain how exhausted daddy is from work and to be quiet and behave. Keep it quiet! I dont blame anything negative on Jerry Lewis he was a wonderful, talented handsome man. And I love him always will!!! Xooxxoxox
Listening...
What year is this interview?
1989.
Study ALL..
ALL his interviews.
From ages 20 - 90.
Woohoo much to learn!!
He could not take IT all the way home.
Exactly do your research and you will see what a wonderful man and human being he is!
Yes he’s a very intelligent man for not making it through school
@@joannaconner4495 Except towards his first wife and children (and the homeless daughter he refused to acknowledge or help).
and the name of this swinging piece of Lewis signature music is??
Blues in Hoss Flat by Count Basie
Sam Peters thank you
But he turned his back on his own kids ....come on
Did he though Mary? You think you know all about his private life. Come on....
Mary he was very attached to his kids and helped them for years!! We can't judge another human being without knowing what that person went through. You don't know his kids either, neither do I . Judging is wrong regardless.
He was a great preformer but not much of a family man....get over it
I don't need to get over it lol because I DON'T CARE ! I like Jerry because he was a crazy genius and a wonderful performer...I still don't judge him because I was raised to use my brain thank God! I can care less about gossip, plus I know compassion! However it was his business, not mine so.. who cares......:) :) :)
I still love him to pieces and I like his being straight forward and real! I wish there were more people like that. Lots of people are more comfortable with lies and deception! However, as soon as someone makes a mistake, they are ready to jump to conclusions and judge! I guess by focusing on others, they don't have to examine their own life! Well...
Thank you @Sam Peters for sending this out for all to experience! Merry Christmas!
When ISNT Jerry Lewis talking? Oh. He isn’t talking anymore. He’s dead. That big mouth hurt a lot of nice people. So RYM, Jerry. That’s “Rest Your Mouth”. I, for one, will never miss a thing about you.
where was anger over youngest sons death in 2009? felt nothing.
Ego. Boy. Delusions of godliness. Combined with pure crystal evil, it really is hard to top.
Describing yourself dude lol
U are so right. People only saw him when the cameras were rolling, that's what ACTORS do, they play to the camera. Once the cameras go off, you will see the real Jerry, arrogant and narssacistic
