Jerry Lewis - 1956 MDA Football Newsreel

Filmed shortly after his breakup with Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis takes the field against The Los Angeles Rams in hopes we "would lateral a buck" for MDA.

Along with many of the Rams of the day in this vintage newsreel, you'll catch a glimpse of legendary Hall of Fame coach Sid Gillman adjusting Jerry's helmet.

After kidding around on the gridiron, Jerry gets serious behind a desk with a plaque that reads "Jerry Lewis - National Chairman" and asks for your help.

During his tenure as Natl. Chairman, Lewis raised $2.5 BILLION dollars for MD research.
