Jerry Lewis was a mean dad Left his boys no inheritance Gary did ok

Why isn’t anyone talking about Valerie Wright devouring this role?!

Jerry really seemed to enjoy doing this, he was very good at it ... I never knew about it, til now almost 40 years later ... ❤

As has been the case so many times, Siskel has been proven right. One of the best films of the 80s!

Life is cold sometimes. Art reflects life.

Wow he looks like my friend jim dying . If cancer. Nothing chas changed

Talking about the terrible killer as he smokes a cig in front of kids lol

You are forced to hang out with someone for 2 hours you wouldn’t spend two minutes with in real life….which is its charm.

U would’ve thought with 2 comedy giants this would’ve been funnier. Cosby and Jerry had NO chemistry. Cosby was trying to (and I emphasize trying) to outdo Jerry Lewis. So what u have is an awkward clip of 2 legends and didn’t learn a damn thing bout the book!

The early days of the American celebrity culture is cynically but accurately depicted by Scorsese. Little did they know that 4 decades later a reality TV star would be elected president because of celebrity culture.

Warhol said it. Fifteen minutes😮

Incredible film! This, along with Hi, Mom!, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull and GoodFellas (duh!). Saw Mean Streats, but that was long ago and I don't recall. anyway, Robert De Niro is a national treasure!!! And for that reason, I find his TDS all the more tragic. End of the day, he's just one more human manipulated by mainstream media. The disintegration of critical thinking is SAD, and it is too widespread.

Does anyone else find it funny that Jerry sings two minstrel songs after Cosby dissed the book that he was there to promote?

He didn't give a shit about his 6 kids fucking scum

Jerry should have never said..." *𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐈𝐒 𝐌𝐘 #𝟏 𝐒𝐎𝐍* " you know how his other sons must feel? Horrible He has (6) sons including " _Gary_ " I have (2) sons and I love them both equal! They both are my #1's😅

I think the folks at Disney really knew who he was. Come on his name is *Gary LEWIS* , he talks and looks just like his dad did back in the early days. But I'm sure he got the job not by being " *Jerry Lewis's* " son, NO, he got the job because of his talent! Because of the entire groups talent. And they had some great songwriters 😱😱😁😁

If you didn't know he was on a yacht your BRAIN would boggle....if you notice 'the little things'.

Aside from Sinatra appearing on this, it was a train wreck. There’s big talent in house here with Tony and Jerry and it wasn’t their fault either. It just seemed forced and disingenuous and it was a disappointing period in the transition of entertainment. The older mantra of entertainers was starting to see their hey day fade away from the main stream of entertainment even though they were still very much alive and loved and excellent at what they did. What was funny 5 or 10 years earlier just wasn’t funny or working anymore. It’s kinda hard to watch these types of things really.

A one-hit wonder, spoiled rich kid, horrid father. Next....

Wow , the scene where Rupert is in Jerrys home , it wasn’t written for both characters what to argue about

The peanut brittle gag, which you see coming a mile off....it's all just so sad.

Cosby didn't know what he was doing here. Wonder how he got to hosting again in '86. I'm sure de Cordova and Lassally had heart attacks.

A TRUE NUT 🥜 NO ACTING HERE

Painfully unfunny.

he's jewish

Never will be phased out !! I loved their music as I love most all kinds of music… I still love listening to Gary Lewis and the Playboys!! CLASSIC ALWAYS 💙💙

Gary Lewis and the Playboys are still my Fountain of Youth. Loved listening to his bands 45's and LP's in 1968 on my sisters record player. It just made me excited and a 1960's music lover even still to this day at age 62.

Sammy Davis Jr, Frank Sinatra, Jerry Lewis, Dean Martin, Johnny Carson, so many other legends. All from the same generation. Incredible. Re Frank, I'm grateful for his music, but what I'm most grateful for is him helping Dean and Jerry take the first step toward reconciling.

Cleveland Rocks, Cleveland Rocks!!

Ebert was amazing but he could be very wrong which he was about this one, Silence of the Lambs, and the Chosen. All superb films.

Oh Bullshit. De Niro would definitely be recognized. Jerry Lewis is a control freak,conceited asshole!

I think if I met Albert Einstein I’d ask him about clothing too

When did this series air? Was this available in all markets? I lived in midwest, never saw this Later jerry lewis show? How many episodes? Please help

I do not believe anyone will ever know the true reason these 2 broke up. Martin & Lewis took this to your grave.

7:27 Nancy Dussault from Too Close For Comfort!!

Ugh

"The King of Comedy" is a terrific movie. It was dark, cynical, mischevious, and brutally funny. Thanks for sharing.

50k a week in those days is absolutely incredible! They were rolling in the dough

I have a theory. I think Mr. Lewis was cashing in on the attention he got from playing a talk show host in “The King of Comedy”. He’s NOT a talk show host. He’s a comedic genius who belongs in the movies.

He was on Carson in 76. Also hosted. Maybe he misunderstood the question. Who knows.

Jerry lewis was funny when he was younger, but his act got creepy as he got older. Sadly much like Emo Phillips. Certain characters just do not age well. Dean Martin's character never got old. Just cooler every day he aged.

No matter what people say about Jerry Lewis. The compassion of Jerry for MD speaks volumes.

In watching Gary doing interviews and learning how hard he has worked in his life, he seems like a really nice guy and not spoiled or into drugs like so many celebrities' children. I never cared for Jerry Lewis' style of comedy and it appears as though he was not good to his family. I always liked Gary's songs and am glad he was a success in his own merit.

Jerry sure loved the color red always had a red top on

I love Martin & Lewis

There were only 5 episodes of this version of The Jerry Lewis Show taped. It was a trial run that never got picked up. Personally, I loved it!

great interview. I really liked jerry lewis. While he had nothing to do with first wife and kids of 35 yrs, I have to believe there was poison bad blood or he was treated terribly or was told to go away or something for him to be so shut off. I cant see him as a deadbeat dad. ha to be something there... that made him feel so strong on such. I pray its not just cause he was not in marriage anymore and out of blue spit them out. He was such a good hubby and father to a second marriage. Only they know the truth... but enjoyed his professional acting very much.

This is the best thing Jerry ever did. Don’t go looking for other interviews unless you want to know what an insufferable cunt he was.

Als große Komiker ist man oftmals auch ein sehr guter Musiker. Für beides ist das richtige Timing oft unabdingbar. Es gleicht sich darin.
