Jerry Lewis gets mad at an imitator

Jerry invited a young man on the stage when he was appearing in concert in Brooklyn back in 1994, and was not thrilled at what the young man proceeded to do. The thing that surprises me about this clip is *how fast* Jer snaps the mic out of the kid's hand, as if the first few words of the bit have already incensed him (quick on the draw!). Don't cross the Jer!

Thanks much to Funhouse viewer Stephen K. for this fantastic bit of Jer history, now forever frozen in time....

Jerry Lewis forgot that any comedian worth a damn needs to laugh at himself once and a while.

Jerry Lewis is a notorious egocentric ass hole, pissed off at the fact that he didn't become as big of star that he wanted to be.

[iloveyoujoex3]

what even offended him?

@jaypercy78 I agree with Jerry, you don't make fun of that song.

@jamesholz63 What's the definition of "chaos"? A busload of Jerry's Kids passing through a magnet factory

That was Eddie Deezen. Too bad Jerry's such a dick. This would have been great.

Jerry might have said to the guy who wanted to do an impersonation (in a kidding way), "Amateur night is tomorrow night. Leave your name with the girl when you go out." If I was going to do an impersonation of Jerry, I would mimic him saying, "Dean...oh...Dean" or "La--a--ady." I don't associate that song with him. It came from the Musical, "Carousel."

well, that song is a serious thing for Jerry... Walk ON, is a signature song that Jerry sang at the end of the telethons. You have to see his side of it.

@jaypercy78 Jerry Lewis was never funny anyway.

[ib422000]

Asshole.

@AdoniaKalos Who said Jewy is the king of comedy, comical genius? Oh Yeah , the Jews who control Hollywood. Steven Spielberg, another "brilliant, genius Jew" of Hollywood being praised by Jews. Get your head out of your ass.
