I completely agree. Even with the camera zooming in close to Paul, it's amazing how talented he was. Add to that his humor, his keeping Jerry Mahoney "in character", and the game rolling along all at the same time.

It's the same every time, a routine act that never changes. Boring.

Jerry was really beautiful

@@susantunbridge4612 Wow, that's laughable

I completely agree with you. This priceless episode give us an insight about what audiences and people in Show Business thought about the breaking up of Martin & Lewis. A precious time machine this is.

Winchell's "conference" with Jerry Mahoney was genius!

Although Jerry Lewis was a great humanitarian, I never cared for his style of comedy, which was a little too over-the-top for me.

@@allenjones3130 He physically abused his wife and four sons, he was a serial womanizer, and he was a particularly nasty bully in the industry. He cut his wife and kids off without a cent, leaving it all to his second wife and adopted daughter. So the "humour" just never looked right - I couldn't stand him, even as a teenager when the Nutty Professor came out. Dean Martin, however, was a gem - elegant, stylish, and talented.

“I have intentionally excluded Gary Lewis, Ronald Lewis, Anthony Joseph Lewis, Christopher Joseph Lewis, Scott Anthony Lewis, and Joseph Christopher Lewis and their descendants as beneficiaries of my estate, it being my intention that they shall receive no benefits hereunder.” Jerry Lewis

I do at 65. :)

Gale Storm-what a beautiful singing voice. Ivory Tower, Dark Moon, etc. I did notice that some of her backup singers were not of the highest quality and that detracted from the overall quality of the record but did not dim her beautiful voice.

I have to admit that I knew who Jerry Mahoney and Paul Winchell were but I didn’t know Vivian Blaine. I’m in my 60s.

@@leannsherman6723 Hard to judge who had the most talent, Winchell, Lewis, or...... Daly.

A tragic figure indeed, abusive to his family.

😥

melirose89 Well yes, but when watching Jerry in interviews I often get the impression that he is very good at putting on an act to milk the sympathy vote and make himself look good. He had known for a long time that Dean, as laid-back as he was, had become increasingly unhappy with being more and more sidelined in the act but had put up with it for the sake of peace for far longer than Jerry himself now admits that HE would have. It's all very well to act hurt and upset after the fact, but the solution to their problems was in Jerry's hands, but his ego would not permit him to acknowledge Deans concerns or to do anything to solve them. Many people they worked with said that Jerry was jealous of Dean being more popular and well-liked because of his easygoing and humorous personality, and I feel this may have been the reason that he reduced Deans part in the act.

Linda Shelley, I don't believe that not even for a second! I think when a break up happens it's never one sided ...it was their time to go separate ways! They were growing apart somehow and had different needs.They still loved each other very much after the break up until the end of their lives! The hating on Jerry kinda have to stop! Thank you!!!! R.I. P Jerry, you wonderful, incredible man and thank you for your huge heart and the laughter. You will continue to live in our hearts. You are a legend sir!

Dean Martin was getting bored of the same stuff after 10 years anyway, being nine years older. It wasn't Jerry who reduced his parts and Dean didn't do badly ...he always got the girl in films. Jerry spent time working out their act onstage while Dean was playing golf all day. He just turned up to do the show... which he did well. At that point Jerry became very popular, but Dean wouldn't have wanted to play the monkey with a silly voice. He wasn't side lined in the act, the problem was more with all the films. They both had a lot of fun for a long time... but sadly, nothing lasts forever.

@@marym5037 That was nice, Mary. We know he loved his family and dealt with all matter of things-as most of us do in life-but being in motion pictures simply isn't as easy as people used to assume and frankly, the idea of anything being private just didn't exist back in those days. I thought he showed some real class and good presence in answering those questions. In real life, it turns out he was actually very polite and quiet and pretty conservative in nature. At my graduation from Notre Dame High School in 1975, he gave the keynote speech and offered up hope and positive affirmation to our graduating class. My mom told me he seemed stunned at the overexuberance of our class in tossing hats and stuff in the air when it was all over. His generation was taught a whole lot more reserve in their lives. R.I.P Jerry...and Dean

Jerry was not as sweet a guy as he made himself out, he was demanding and his ego was larger than life. He did not have a great relationship with his children (his son Gary calling him evil), despite his philanthropy for MD. I saw an interview of his from the 80's and he was quite short and rude to the interviewer, who was a student. Which is quite heartbreaking because he was a favourite of mine when I was young, I suppose it's the danger of watching too many documentaries and interviews, of his.

I picked up on that too. Way to go, Jerry!

And I think a first on the show, having a "conference" between just the two of them! He was in fine form that night.

Would have been funny to see Jerry also with a mask on!

One of the best voice throwers in the biz and a fantastic voice actor in animated cartoons too. Some know him as Gargamel, others as Tigger. I also enjoyed his work on sitcoms like The Brady Bunch. Seeing him here reminds me how talented he was, and the interaction with his puppet (their whispering to each other, etc) is super. I also think of him whenever I see the Seinfeld episode involving the store mannequin doppelganger of Elaine, when Jerry makes up fake court cases on the spot to emphasize the fact that he is her counsel and knows the history: "The Charlie McCarthy Hearings, Winchell Vs. Mahoney" ... that kills me. Such a fun "wink" to fans. You couldn't have humor like that in this decade; too many young people wouldn't know the references.

@@eduardo_corrochio I loved and still love his voice as Tigger. For the longest time I did not know that he was the voice of Gargamel.

​@@MaelindaTigger Another Disney connection: the voice of Smurfette, Lucille Bliss, also did stepsister Anastasia in Cinderella from 1950. aodeadpool.org/archives/updates/2012/assets/slugs/lucille_bliss.jpg As a kid I wasn't aware of a lot of voice actors in classic TV reruns but when I got older I started learning; for example, comedy actor Howard Morris (Sid Caesar's Your Show of Shows, High Anxiety, etc), who was the recurring violent kook Ernest T Bass on The Andy Griffith Show, voiced dozens of characters on The Flintstones during its run. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y9hmZbihr8jZfoU.html

Carol Taylor he looks scared shitless

@@Sophie_kent ... I imagine he probably was scared shitless here! It all worked out. Both fellas made a name for themselves. RIP 💗 GUYS.

Paul Winchell covered his throat when he could, because his throat flexing to the words was a tell...

Fun fact, he was also the original voice of Tigger and many Disney characters us kids in the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s grew up enjoying. R.I.P. Paul Winchell

He was a very intelligent and friendly man, as well as handsome, but had a very troubled personal life. He suffered from depression and claimed that it stemmed from childhood abuse. In his later years, Winchell was unfortunately estranged from his children, who apparently chose to reside with their mothers following their divorces.

Very handsome, but Jerry Lewis, I find gorgeous!!

He was also an accomplished voice actor and inventor. He created the artificial heart valve as well.

@Aritosthenes I'm pretty sure you are right. I love Tigger!

He made a great impact with his Muscular Dystrophy telethons, for which he deserves much admiration. However I personally don't think he ever said, or did a funny thing in his entire life. His slapstick, physical brand of comedy was always far too simplistic and juvenile for my taste, and had fallen out of favor in Hollywood by the 1960's, as evidenced by the colossal flop of his much hyped television variety show in 1962. In fact, Lewis had very little show business success of any kind after that. Add to that his well known run away ego, his addiction to Percodan, constant cheating on his long suffering wife, and the disgusting way that he treated his own children, and you really have to be willing to overlook many major character flaws in order to admire him. And NO he isn't handsome by any stretch of any clear seeing persons imagination.

@@rossogden9920 sure..that's an opinion...but you know that there are millions of fans all over the world who DO think that he was VERY talented!! But we all have opinions :) and many of use find him very handsome and sexy and that's just OUR opinion :)

@@marym5037 He gets uglier, and uglier, the more you know about his disgusting personal life. You should try raising your standards. He isn't worth you defending him.

@@rossogden9920 I don't need to defend him Jax :) l like him a lot..not judging his life..I really do not like to do that and mainly I do not need to do that.. 🙂 I leave that to you

@Jax Blueman Ugly people are more like you, who make one sided ugly comments about someone, when not able to judge his personal life as you never actually KNEW the man. Gossip monger.

You are right Olivia! I feel the same way :(

I react the same way . I had tears in my eyes when they annouced that Ted Allen had died .....in 1956 , on the sunday show , the next day.

They reconeted on the Telathon 50 years later. Sad to hold a hate that long !

He did Dean dirty!

@@josephvalenti9095 1956 - 1976, at my house, it is 20 years not 50. Then maybe in America you count differently. You know how to count, right?

Not sad for Dean Martin - best move he ever made.

⁠​⁠@@susantunbridge4612he didn't make the move. Jerry did. Dean wanted to stay together. Look it up. And I guess you didn't get the part where Jerry said Dean was pretty funny himself and that's why he didn't know how to answer the question was he the funniest of the two. He ALWAYS gave Dean the credit. If you would study the two of them, you would find out a lot about Jerry and his giving nature.

His hairstyle was ahead of his time. It always looked proto-Beatlish, even when he started out in the mid-1940s.

jpireri I have heard interview with Jerry recently that there was friendship between them after the breakup that the public didn't know about. He said they agree that there had to be private live over the public life and they decoded to keep them 2 different life. They was a team before I was even born in 58, I am enjoying learning about this friendship at almost 60 years later.

I saw an interview with Jerry Lewis. He said the break-up was inevitable. Dean Martin never got the credit he deserved in the papers, it was always how funny Jerry Lewis was and yes there was some singing too.

Why font you put videos up in your channel? vhsnnrl

Yessssss incredibly handsome!

Many people forgt he raised almost 2 and one-half BILLION dollars on his Muscular Dystrophy telethons!

+Mary M He's got that confidence thing, cool, self assured and yes so handsome

betty spyler, yes I agree 100% with you! He was also very bright and witty. He had gorgeous eyes and lips! :)

Handsome physicaly and spiritualy .

LeoGotHisOscar I think he was better than Edgar Bergen too. You could always see Bergen’s lips move.

LeoGotHisOscar The dummies ventriloquists use these days are ugly is one reason I don't really like them .This guy is good and his dummy is appealing too, not some freaky looking thing. When he had a conference with himself that was hilarious!!.

I am SO tired of seeing that DUMMY!! he brings him on EVERY episode he's on. Don't you ever get tired of seeing it?!

He really was a total sh*t.

Kristann Harrigan What the public sees is total opposite of how some of these people are in private. Show business is just their jobs.

+ Hank13665 I totally agree with THAT!

I believe he was specifically referring to Joseph McCarthy and those who supported his views that communists were infiltrating the US, including the entertainment world.

Especialy Meryll Streep , De Niro ...

@@scottschenck6971 Which they did. And it showed, which would be exactly what he meant.

Oh, please! The world moves along; no time was ever "innocent," and, finally, entertainment takes many forms, none more legitimate than the next.

At the time being and Jerry broke up they had over $200 million booked and they both walked away from it

When I was a kid and my father told me that Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin had been partners, I was very surprised. I found that very hard to picture given the differences in their personas. Lewis miscalculated -- most people (and Jerry) expected that Jerry Lewis would have the more successful solo career, but Martin knew what he had when he broke up the partnership and he had the much more successful solo career (except maybe in France).

It would be REALLY refreshing if they would follow that advice these days.

+GinnieKinz💜 LOTS of practice!

Shari Lewis did a great job with Lambchop, too!

Ginnie, there is a trick to it. I'm not going to tell you what it is, but I'm sure there's a YT video for it these days 😒

Paul tells it all in his book "Ventriloquism For Fun And Profit" which is also a touching autobiography.

Paul was great at this. Much better than whatshername's dad.

July 7, 2014 she was inducted into the Women's Boxing Hall of Fame.

Looking so petite & pretty, who"ld have guessed she was a professional boxer.

@@richmondang1591 also, I think it was a little misleading of John Daly to say that the feet are used at all, since we’re clearly not talking about kickboxing or MMA or anything like that. They probably would never have gotten the answer anyway, but still…

Johan Bengtsson actually 2 days...

He was never happy.

Wonder why they really split up?

Why did they split up?

@@peternagy-im4be for many reasons. I don’t recommend reading about the break up on any newspapers or magazines because they tend to pick sides and present biased accounts. In short, Jerry had ego issues and he was manipulative and possessive of Dean (but we can’t really call him the evil one here as this was the result of his traumatic childhood). His fear of losing Dean turned out badly though. Dean was underestimated by the audience and producers back then in favor of Jerry so he was really irritated. He still loved Jerry a lot during their worst time, but he was unable to express what he really meant because he had communication issues and an avoidant personality. Both felt like they were restricted to being a comic duo while they wanted to achieve greater things like serious acting (Dean) and directing (Jerry). Others were also telling them they’d be more successful without the other. There were still many other factors but these were the most crucial I guess.

@@AnhTran-fd2md thanks to the info. Always fascinated by show biz splits.

Miss Adelaide

Two of my Childhood heroes. Jerry Lewis and Paul Maloney.

Paul Winchell?

@@accomplice55 Yes Paul Winchell was the original voice of Tigger.

@@BASavage81 : I know. I was responding to the person who mentioned a Paul Maloney.

No, he said 'And it would be nice if you could sing' and then realised it came out sounding rude. Jerry noticed, but knew it was just a slip and smiled. You are reading too much into it.

I have to concur. I replayed the clip 6 times, and I think you nailed it. Lewis was visibly annoyed and immediately got up and said his goodbye. Very abruptly. I had not noticed that before I read your post.
