This piece of video has always stuck with me. Lewis stopped the performance because the booze and cigarettes caught up to him. He exited with grace and saved the moment but Skelton is left onstage a bit befuddled -- although flattered -- with egg on his face. It was half unprofessional - half tribute. And it was a shame and I felt short changed because these were two comedians that I loved so much -- and who had never performed together before or since. -- This is truly a great piece of video.
at 6:40 when Jerry drops that saw...they had to have a lot of trust in one another to do that! not easy stuff man.....this is classic!! Thanks for uploading!
The act won't work today.Let's writing it off as two comedic talents for their era...47 years ago.
