Jerry Lewis LATER w/ Bob Costas Pt. 2

Jerry covers it all here: the split with Dean Martin and the reconciliation; growing up; the pain of comedy; Buddy Love; the dangers of psychiatry. And a hell of a promo at the end.

At 5:15 thru 6:10 ... underscores what an absolute class act Jerry Lewis is... can you imagine how anyone else would have felt - how most ALL of us might have taken that wrong? You can see by his body language and gestures that he was completely candid and honest ...just "that's Dean" meaning he knows him well enough that he knows he appreciated it.

@SumKindaNice Martin was great before,during and after...

Buddy Love was the real Jerry Lewis. If you have ever known him or new people that knew him, all them ugly people he said he based Buddy Love on, were his own personalities.

Jerry Lewis was and is a great talent, but also a horrible human being, with very little regard for others.

To the people who think Jerry Lewis is great ... have you noticed he's rude, obnoxious and egomaniacal?

I mean, surely this hasn't escaped your notice.

These two men loved each other like brothers and they both had talent! one was

not better than the other.Both had class! something that is sadly lacking today.

@SumKindaNice dean martin was one of the worlds greatest entertainers of all time.and dean and jerry were in love as clothe as men can be for the all of their lifes.

Martin was over shadowed by Lewis... The loudest, wildest one gets the attention and the quiet one is seen as just being there and waiting for the storm to stop. But Dean was funny as a straight man can be and still maintain the position as straight man. THEY were THE absolute best at what they did and there will be none like them any time soon. Dean has been described and rightfully so as having it from his "bones", the humor, the timing, the strength to hold up his side was beautiful to see

@SumKindaNice

that's not true. Martin did quite well for himself when the partnership ended.

'Everybody Loves Somebody' took the number 1 spot away from the Beatles on the record charts. Martin had a top ten variety show that ran for quite a few years.

Martin sold out casinos as a member of the Rat Pack.

Martin was succeeding as a nightclub singer.

Martin saved Lewis by allowing the struggling comic to become part of Martin's act. Lewis was bombing everywhere before he met Martin.
