MDA Telethon 2008 - Jerry Lewis Sings "You'll Never Walk Alone"

[angelafrazee]

@Gidgetbaby1, I know it is not thie same but MDA still needs support, either way....Watch it! :D

[GidgetBaby1]

A time for tears i know. MDA is "nothing" without Jerry Lewis!! I Won't watch it!!

[Darthon62]

God bless you jerry.Thanks for your hard work.

[sassymomof]

Yes God Bless Jerry !!!!!!!! and his kids they will forever be HIS kids!!!!

[9162vb48]

When Jerry sings this stupid song, he insults the intelligence of anyone with an IQ over 5.

He usually prefaces the song with abrupt, condescending remarks to the stagehands -- the lighting is not right, the sound is off. Indeed, his narcissistic, phony sincerity is to be taken with the utmost seriousness!

If you search here on YouTube - "martin short jerry lewis french genius" - you'll see Martin Short parody Jerry Lewis' phony sincerity -- complete with insults to "his people."

[tenkaiechi01]

@9162vb48 @johnissoevil oh God forbid he give a good performance for the sake of people dying of some horrible incurable disease. If the lighting isnt right, then the lighting isnt right. If the sound is off, then the sound is off. He has been a performer for longer than you have been alive. Your argument is invalid.

[DragedaPoemsLyrics]

I miss u Jerry :(

[johnissoevil]

There's two hours left, MDA, please have Jerry on at the end of tonight's show to sing this one more time and to say farewell to those who have watched him on the telethon over the years!

[tenkaiechi01]

@johnissoevil sorry i ment that for 9162vb48 only not you as well:P your name got caught up in there and i dont even know how lol

[haileyalexis709]

Let's face it, the reason why the MDA telethon raised as much money as it did was because of Jerry Lewis. They will, unfortunately, have a very difficult time raising money, not only because of the economy but because of Jerry not being there any longer. Not a good move on MDA's part.

[Franandlar]

MDA Sorry

[onstageagain]

I love this guy... Just heard he got fired... I love him...

[robertryanforever]

Gracias Jerry. Por tu vida. Por tu trayectoria. Ryan

Who is Shelly?

[nudeboxerguy]

God bless you Jerry for everything you did for my friends with Muscular Dystrophy, you're my hero!

[carlosalberto200911]

Mr Lewis I'm your fan, good job and God bless you, forever and ever.

You Mister lewis, you'll never walk alone.

[janowan]

Mr Jerry Lewis, you are the best of the best

[fyakilla]

lol, what an idiot.Big crybaby

[kimmieanne1]

@fyakilla He is 82 years old...shame on you.

[fyakilla]

@kimmieanne1 The man needs to hang it up than, hes so old and fragile yet he insists on getting whatever airtime he can get. Shame on him.

[madamerotten]

@fyakilla I hope you recall your own words when you get a terminal illness for which there's no cure.

[ChiroQuacker]

@TheSMALLjohnny84

@ChiroQuacker huh?

[ChiroQuacker]

@TheBigjohnny84

[TheBigjohnny84]

[davylar1]

AS A SCOUSER I THINK THAT VERSION IS GREAT

[dollyav1]

גרי לויז היה בשבלי אהוב חיי נהנה להצחיק אהב את החיים ונתן שמחה לכולם דולי

[madamerotten]

@dollyav1 Your hebrew makes no sense at all.

[dollyav1]

@rocketsfan34 for mee to  dolly

[Goedhartbros]

Does he still like Dean Martin or has he forgotten Dean 15 years after Dean's death?

Dean and Jerry were good in those movies in the fifties.

[madamerotten]

@Goedhartbros . They did reunite during Lewis' 1976 MD telethon at the persuasion of Frank Sinatra. The biographical "Dean and Me" by Lewis is a very interesting and revealing book, if you want to know the whole story.

[tothaj]

Wonderful man! Donated his life to this cause. I love him so much and this song brings tears to my eyes. Live on Jerry, forever!

[ColonelPhillipGreen]

He is still THE MAN We love you Jerry and for the causes you fight for your kids.

Jerry Lewis- a man of HONOR!

[Jill8854]

This really touched me.... Jerry Lewis is a beautiful and genuine soul...God bless him

[ruedydude]

If Jerry had paid more attention to his own biological kids including his illegitimate daughter who by the way is friends with his oldest son Gary, maybe people wouldn't question his motives. Jerry only acknowledges his daughter publicly and doesn't mention his boys by ex wife Patti.

[Kirbymcbadass]

I've been a camera operator the local MDA telethon out of Orlando, fl for the last 3 years. Before that I was a cable puller for 2 years. Despite working 27 hours over labor day weekend and sacrificing my bbq time I'd rather be no other place. Jerry's kids deserve my time and my talents and I'll keep doing it for them for as long as I can....and I'm still a young man. See ya next labor day!

[JamesBarcus30]

@Kirbymcbadass My Thanks come from the inner depths of my heart, being a long time viewer of the Telethon. MDA Needs to do more for those who have not received assistance, but it's not the fault of the camera operator of the Telethon.

[ArtByLindaLee]

I love you Jerry

[pancake2662]

god bless

[expatted]

Oh, geez. Wee bit corny, doncha think?

[HairRard]

listen to the liverpool f.c fans sing this song.. they sing the best you'll never walk alone ever.. thumbs up if you agree with this.

~YNWA~

[DeedsResearcher]

@hlwrites And YOUR remark has got to be the nastiest, most rotten remark I've ever read.....anywhere.

There is a town in Norway...and another in Michigan.... with the same name. Do us a favor.... go there....and stay there. It's where people with comments like yours belongs.

[thechewydude]

You'd almost say, 'this isn't Jerry Lewis, the real Jerry Lewis is still the frivolous little comedian and he never ever grew up.'

[carragher93]

listen to gerry and the pacemakers singin this 

[reneecalling]

We all love you Jerry! Thank you for that song.

[MandyErna]

May God bless him & all he holds dear!

[MandyErna]

I love him so much!! May God bless him & all he holds dear always!!

[BLOODYCLQ]

he did his best all his life, also perfect personality. we love him.

[rentatrip1]

Mr. Lewis will stand next to Jesus thoughout eternity and hold a righteous position as one His True Saints - This Hebrew will see the Glory of God face to face -

God Bless Jerry Lewis

[DeedsResearcher]

@rentatrip1 A truer arrow was never shot. There is a special place in Heaven that is reserved for people like Jerry Lewis (a/k/a Joseph Levitch...his real, born name).

[shaunwhite1974]

Jerry is one of my true inspirations,I would give anything to meet him

[truthslap]

I love Jerry Lewis, what a genuine and absolutely talented human being.

[TheJoCor]

Anbody have hear the Judy Garland version of this song. It's sensational.

[Mopsiha15]

God bless Jerry Lewis! No matter what people, news, tabloids are saying about him, he was, is and forever will be a pure heart of gold person, great entertainer, great comedian and a good human being! And i'm afraid, that people won't appreciate him until he is gone, and that's very very sad!

There will never be another like you, Jerry!

One of my idols! <3

[fjccommish]

A man like Jerry never walks alone. With all the people he's helped, thousands would rush to his side at the first sign of trouble. This guy is inspirational.

[Stefanogam]

Dear Jerry Lewis,

Thanks for the hope....I cry everytime you sing this song.

A big hug from Italy ♥

Stèfano

[Stefanogam]

[lovinSpoonful]

I love you, Jerry Lewis! I want to see your movies again - you were so great! Hugs... ♥ ♥ ♥

[Lisajreed]

He still looks great...what a great and funny man, I miss the days of his movies

[HillyBazily]

LOVE JERRY!! hes Such a nice guy!! <3 ya Jerry !! Thanks for replying to my letter so kindly !

[lionelraoul]

When is the Kennedy Center going to honor this man!?!?!?

[MandyLovesVintage]

God bless him. :)

[Vostrau1]

Thanks, Mr. Lewis!

[kcthatsawinner]

I know this is a motivational song, and he does an outstanding job with MDA, but seeing Jerry cry at the end of this song, in my own opinion, he's just crying that the telethon is over. No need to be emotional, but I hope in 2010 they could reach 70 million, and maybe reach 1 trillion (total in all 44 telethons).

[kcthatsawinner]

And he never attended a soccer match. YNWA is a popular song in Europe, especially for Celtic and Liverpool fans.

[Darthon62]

God bless you Mr.Lewis!!!

[creaturebotman]

Black guy here... and another fan of the great Jerry Lewis

[armenianply]

[luv2wubsy]

[ShawtyLikeMe2007]

Jerry's an awesome person.

[color57]

[MrSteamhammer100]

this song is better in version of ELVIS !

[MrSteamhammer100]

Er konnte noch nie singen, ist auch ein schlechter Schauspieler, aber sein soziales Engagement ist sehr lobenswert und beispielhaft.

[aquamarina67]

Hey, he used to be brilliant in singing! And this is simply terrific for an 83 year-old man - after a 24 hours' performance! And I find it really touching!

[princefernan89]

addict

[klwewf]

Leave the humor to Jerry. You falied.

[CrUsTyFuStY55]

does anyone have jerry singing this at an earlier telethon? like back in the 70s or 80s?

[klwewf]

I know there's one from1952 here on YouTube.

[biohazardgraphics]

You cut the clip off too early...Jerry's mike rolled off the stool, and it ruined the traditional closing shot.

[ASR10MAN]

Your soooo right biohazardgraphis.

Who's the moron who posted this clip and didnt show the mike fall??????

The stupidity blows my mind.

[vmouse56]

I watch the telethon every year just to hear Jerry Lewis sing this song I cry every year. Jerry I love you you are a wonderful man.  Bless you for everything you do.

[bbygirl3431]

[Stefanogam]

Jerry is the best of the best! ; )

Ciao from Italy!!!

-Stefano

[Zabandraz]

Loved his movies , saw them when I was a teenager. No better actor .

[ch5224]

God Bless you Jerry Lewis. I would like to see him get the Presidential Medal of Freedom

[xx9me]

Mr. Jerry Lewis, thank you for giving us unmatched entertainment throughout the years...from the Philippines!

[xx9me]

the singer Gary Lewis (and the Playboys) is his son. So the musical genes live on

[oldiesfreek]

Must say I'm truly impressed by Jerry's singing here! At this age, how many can sing like that? Bravo, Jerry!! Well done! ;-))

[Vampireofsorrows13]

Love you, Jerry.

You'll always be the best. :]

[BRGradyTate255]

Jerry has stimulated an extrordinary amount giving to this worthy cause. I grew up loving his comedy. Age will reduce us all to a fraction of what we used to be should we live to old age. How nice to see that what is left of Jerry is the most important part.....his big heart. God bless you, Mr. Lewis. We love you!

[AaronCharlesCarter87]

God bless Jerry and rest in peace Ed McMahon , the telethon will not be the same without you.

[klwewf]

He's over 80 years old. and, he's had a lot of hard living.

[anime2192]

why hard living?

[klwewf]

Besides all the hard work for this Telethon alone, his work with Martin, touring clubs, filmmaking, a lot of drinking & smoking & all his responsibilities in his private life as a husband, father & grandfather. Jerry Lewis has had a hard life & lived hard. He's said himself that his conditions today are attributed to things from the past.

[princessbutton]

WHat a great man, great voice. He truly is The King

[Dix424USA4]

as I travel t hru the wonderful world of YT. I find a true and incredible man such as Jerry Lewis. God bless the man always. ty for posting t his clip

[Kirbymcbadass]

I was working on the Orlando MDA Telethon when he sang this. I started tearing up. Deep deep stuff here.

[60bunnies]

Absolutely beautiful, Jerry~~

[warubandgeek]

2:05 Awesome!

[Sharon972]

I forgive you for being so unkind to a man who has given so much for others.  I pray that you will go thru life never needing what he has given unselfishlessly. Your words are cruel and so unneccessary.

[TomC5231963]

My father was a huge fan of this man and turned me on to him. It is easy to see why my father loved so much about this national treasure. He can sing and dance with talents like Song and Dance Man Jack Cassidy but has the humor of a Mel Torme. I love you Jerry and Thank you for all you do for all that is human. We are blessed to have shared this earth with you.

[JamesLXVI]

This legendary funnyman has done so much for mankind. One of the greats!

[EmCSpiteri]

Jerry isa great man, It is a shame that we in England we did not see him any lately.

[Redstone49]

One of the world's true entertainers with a heart of pure gold.

[mseva15]

Gerry Lewis is the best. Thank you for helping all those people and children through your hard work. We love you Gerry and hope you stay well to continue your mission. God Bless you my dear. xoxox From Canada

[cheyenne86]

God has a calling for Jerry, and he is still here doing it every day, year.

[missmoney10000]

i could almost cry!! I saw him at the acamdemy awards accepting an award and you could tell he will be in heaven soon. please help me pray for his health!!!!!!! i'm tired of grieving over my hero's dying!

[savoysushi]

Across continents all over the world. You are phenomenal with the highest degree of excellence in a calibre of your own! Keep going Mr. Jerry Lewis. I believe your contributions towards any charitable course has earned you multitudes of blessings, God is with you ... walk on!

Mum loved you!

... Marjorie... yes in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, we know you too!

[ntt688]

Fantastic, he is a legend, I loved to watch his movies when I was small.

[MrsXantipa]

What a great man! Love you, Mr. Jerry Lewis!

[sweir27]

Your a great guy jerry lewis!

[Catwoman1121]

I love you so much Jerry! God bless you!

[freebyrd88]

OMG still makes me cry after all these years.

I grew up with the rat pack, and always loved this song Jerry does! I still remember when Jerry and the great Dean Martin resolved thier issues on the telethon many years ago. Sigh, gone are the old legends, ol blue eyes, and dino, thank god jerry is still around!

[brandykody11]

I've been watching this show since the early 70's. I can't believe he's still doing it. He's such a trouper and a wonderful man.

[dollyav1]

He's looking at you kido

:)

love you Jery

[ladiesman22]

God, I love Jerry. Great comedian, great ambassador for his kids.

[JordannMCx]

Bless him he looked like he was about to cry, what a sweet, sweet man.

This is the first time i've ever seen him without his pinky ring on his right hand. :)
