I feel so old for my age knowing this stuff. I'm 16 ad Jerry Lewis is one of my favourite Actors, I love him he's amazing just like his father. I cried when I found out about what happened between him and Dean Martin, about the fall out I was so young though. :) I swear I would LOVE TO MEET HIM!

Best comedian EVER

[dinocoolcoolmartin]

@hufefueasfia it's not correct.he is one of the best comedians of all time.and there are names after him,like steve martin and jim carrey,that steps in his footsteps....

@magnumshifter Come on, give me a break...like 99% of 'famous wealthy people' are in some way messed up a bit, it just goes with the territory (whether alcoholism, 4 marriages, drugs etc etc...) he's just a human being with faults. At least he gave it a go and was successful and helped kids and gave joy to his fans...AND he's basically the ONLY surviving star of the Golden era of Hollywood (he's still active and has been going since the 40's!!!) amazing...he really is a legend in every respect.

i've often thought if there's such a thing as karma jerry lewis will be fixed for eons. he's done more for charity than anyone. (actually, the same goes for danny thomas).
