Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis on Bob Hope Bing Crosby US Olympic team telethon 22 June 1952. A lost treasure! This was filmed (kinescoped) while it was broadcast live from The first El Capitan TV Theater on Vine Street In Hollywood, California.

Jerry Lewis was a riot. Give Dean Martin credit. He was the perfect set up man. And Lewis would acknowledge that after Dean Martin passed.

[@nancybrewer5778]

This is just pure genius at work! Jerry leaves me amazed! I have loved him since I was a kid in the 1960s. With Dean he had an incredible chemistry-like rock stars of their day! And Jerry solo - there are no words for his endless talent. Thank you, Jerry and Dean, for all the wonderful years of unforgettable entertainment!

Jerry is the epitome of youth when he did these shows. When I see him here I think, how can this guy age, get old, with all this energy and excitement. It’s not possible, is it? Surely if one person can escape the seeds of time then it’s got to be this live bomb on stage, giving it his all. Then before you know it, in the blink of an eye, he’s gone. Life taken away. Keep smiling folks because our time here is short. This is a sad and melancholic reminder of that. Make the most of it everyone.

[@benjiarehart2878]

Right on that for sure. Grew up watching them. I too just revisited this, and was reminded how great they were. Much of their act was unscripted, which is very hard to do off the cuff. Especially on a life show. A person really has to have the goods to pull that off, and they had it in spades. Once in a lifetime duo they were.

[@alanrossreviews]

@@benjiarehart2878 unscripted, its hard to write for that!

[@VicMartino]

A pair of great comedy teams together. Bing & Bob and Dean & Jerry were truly great entertainers when they worked as a duo or solo. Love em all.

[@varietyshow9881]

For a couple seconds, Dean looked genuinely concerned with Bing's sudden flee at the approach of Jerry Lewis. Around 40 seconds in he had an expression of almost-fear or embarrassment on his face, wasn't Bing one of his idols? I do notice that in times where Bing/Dean are singing together, Dean really blends his voice in with Bing, like it's almost difficult to differentiate who is singing, Bing or Dean. That's why I really like it when Frank and Dean sing together, Deam doesn't have to blend in with Sinatra and really takes advantage of his beautful vocal vibrato, and Sinatra does his thing, which is amazing every time.I'm young, but man, what classics

[@lindashelley3635]

Variety Show I noticed that too. I know it was a comedy act, and Jerry was the more 'crazy' half of the duo, but an artist surely has to show some respect to other performers, but I feel that Jerry often went too far in his antics and didn't seem to know where to draw the line and rein it in. I'm sure there were quite a few times when Dean must have felt embarrassed by Jerry onstage, especially with such big and well-established (at the time) stars as Hope and Crosby. After all, they were a double act and the things that Jerry did would have reflected on Dean as his partner.

[@millertheory7935]

Yeah, that’s why they invited him and were in their movies multiple times together...

[@marym5037]

[@wodgerdog646]

Bing Crosby very handsome man and Jerry Lewis also was an attractive man. An innocent misunderstanding between two great entertainers. But geez what an abundance of talent these four gentleman had. As an avid Bing Crosby fan (my favourite entertainer ever) I think he's the King, but I certainly do appreciate the talent and charisma of Dean, Jerry and Bob. Dean was an underrated actor, he could play drama and comedy with the best of them and that voice wow. I don't know if Jerry wrote or contributed to the material for his films, but he was an immensely gifted comic. Bob was a natural born entertainer with a great singing voice and a brilliant emcee. Bing was for me the one who could do it all and better than anybody else, singing, acting, comedy, drama, ad libbing and hosting. What we miss with these four gentlemen gone they were brilliant.

[@stevemelnicola]

These dudes were the tops! This clip has a couple of set pieces and is largely impro. They were having fun and its contagious. Dean's cool and Jerry's complete ignoring of politeness and dignity. Their movies were good ( some of them anyway) but stuff like this and their live show ( see the Copa show and the band snippets of the Colgate show) were just exuberant. Brilliant! They worked with Bing and Bob quite often. While I like the Road movie boys they don't have the verve of M and L. Thanks!

This is one of my favourite Martin and Lewis videos on here, i must have watched this video dozens of times and it always makes me laugh. Very sad hearing that Jerry has passed away today. 🌹

[@pamelahawley4844]

Yes and here are more great things about him. He is prolific! The Not-So-Nutty Professor In addition to his varied entertainment, philanthropic and family responsibilities, Jerry has also served as an adjunct professor at the University of Southern California, where he taught a graduate course in film direction. The Total Film Maker, a book based on recordings of 480 hours of his classroom lectures, was published by Random House in 1971. And since the book hit the stands, it became mandatory reading in every university and film school in the United States, as well as Continental Europe. The Films of Jerry Lewis book is one of the most comprehensive studies of one man’s body of work in the motion picture industry. The “Real” Jerry Lewis Behind the pratfalls, the jokes and the public persona, Jerry Lewis is a devoted family man who always carries snapshots of his family in his pockets for luck. The entertainer has a daughter, Danielle, born in 1992, in addition to five sons - Gary, Ron, Scott, Chris and Anthony - and several grandchildren and one great-granddaughter. A frequent MDA Telethon highlight is a performance by Jerry's number-one son and his band -- Gary Lewis and the Playboys -- and the Telethon cameras regularly catch Sam and Danielle sitting in their customary front row seats. It’s also no coincidence that the official Jerry Lewis Web site, www.jerrylewiscomedy.com, is hosted by Jerry’s son, Chris. Jerry is famous for his love of children, and the immense popularity he enjoys among them is hardly surprising. “I get paid for doing what children are punished for,” he reasons. “In doing this, I can help them get rid of their hostility quotient.” Or, as one 14-year-old fan put it: “Jerry is just a nice big kid who makes us laugh. Kids love him because he’s really one of us.” Jerry summed it up himself when he said - in response to the countless well-wishers who wrote to commemorate his 76th birthday in March 2002: “76? You got the birth date right, but the age is wrong! I’m only 9 … remember? Always have been, always will be.” The motto that best expresses Jerry’s ongoing love affair with humanity is this: “I shall pass through this world but once. Any good, therefore, that I can do or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer nor neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.” --- Humanitarian Awards “Jerry Lewis is a man for all seasons, all people and all times. His name has, in the hearts of millions, become synonymous with peace, love, and brotherhood.” The late Secretary of Defense Les Aspin, then a congressman from Wisconsin, penned those words in 1977 in the conclusion of his nomination of Jerry for the Nobel Peace Prize. Never in the history of show business has an entertainer been so honored. In 1984, the government of France officially recognized that country's legendary admiration of Jerry Lewis by giving him its two most distinguished awards. First, Lewis was made a Commander in the Order of Arts and Letters, and was extolled by French Minister of Culture Jack Lang for his “human qualities and generosity. You are a child’s friend, and a model for adults.” Later that same year, Jerry was inducted into the Legion of Honor by the decree of President Francois Mitterand. Legion membership honors individuals whose accomplishments demonstrate extraordinary public service. Back in the United States, on June 8, 1985, the Defense Department presented Jerry with its highest civilian award - the Medal for Distinguished Public Service. The citation that accompanies the engraved gold medal reads, in part: “His service has had a profound effect on the youth of our country, on men and women in uniform today and their children, and on those children who shall one day serve our country in its defense.” In December 1996, the American Medical Association presented its Lifetime Achievement Awards to Jerry and MDA “for significant and lasting contributions to the health and welfare of humanity.” Jerry was honored for his decades of dedication to MDA, becoming only the fifth person in AMA history to receive this award. As National Chairman of MDA, Jerry has devoted two-thirds of his lifetime to the effort to eradicate neuromuscular diseases. His unflagging, year-round work for this cause has endeared him to millions. Under Jerry’s leadership, the Association has been - and will continue to be - the recognized leader in the worldwide fight against these diseases. Legendary Entertainer One of the most successful performers in show business - with worldwide box office gross receipts of his films in excess of $800 million - Jerry Lewis has received global acclaim for his unique ability and style with both comedy and drama. Best known for his comedic genius, he's considered among the elite in the history of comedy. He has an exceptional feel for comic timing and possesses all the other unique qualities of a great clown. Critic Harriet Van Horne described Jerry’s screen persona as “a sort of witless genius,” while Hollywood director Leo McCarey called Lewis “the Pied Piper of the business, the heir to the mantle of Charlie Chaplin and Harold Lloyd.” In 1991, Jerry received two impressive honors as the show business industry recognized his lifetime of achievement. On January 13, he received the Comic Life Achievement Award during cable television’s annual ACE Awards. The National Association of Broadcasters paid tribute to Jerry by inducting him into the Broadcast Hall of Fame on April 17. Jerry was inducted into the International Humor Hall of Fame in 1992. And on February 22, 1998, Jerry received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Comedy Hall of Fame. In 1999, legendary film director Martin Scorsese presented Jerry Lewis with a career Golden Lion award at the Venice International Film Festival. Lewis was honored as “an extraordinary example of the total filmmaker: scriptwriter, director and protagonist of his films, therefore fully responsible for his work.” He kept giving and giving and giving to us. He loved so much. We are so grateful to him and his life. POSITIVE CRITICS ON JERRY LEWIS Not always. Exhibit A from 1950: "For all its madness, there is method in the Lewis artistry. If he mugs outrageously and takes stage falls with an elementary aplomb, his antics are seasoned by a real sense of the comic and a rare appreciation of the non sequitur." --Jack Gould, The New York Times, 9/18/1950  Sixty-five years later, here's Exhibit B: Lewis is an artistic genius of visual and scenographic inventiveness, comic fury, technical originality, and philosophical perspective; but he’s also a furious, reckless, regressive, id-plumbing revealer of the depths of his character by way of demands on his body. And this full-spectrum artistic commitment - from the ideal to the carnal, from the sophisticated to the crude, from the pursuit of an artistic conception to the force and price of personal drive and desire - is his crucial connection to, and inspiration of, the new world of young filmmakers. -- Richard Brody, The New Yorker 10/8/15 ----- Positive critics/evaluation -Long great article appreciating everything jerry Lewis www.criterion.com/current/posts/4845-jerry-lewis-1926-2017

[@cryzmyth]

[@natalia6465]

Bicycle Thief

[@animeboriqua411]

this truly is awesome footage...they had me in tears laughing but it showed here that Dean and Jerry really were the best of friends cracking each other up while the audience had fun with em...thank you so much for posting!

[@Groucho-tg1tx]

Bing ran away becauze he was afraid Jerry would pull off hiz toupee.

[@soapbxprod]

Yep! Thanks for tuning in.

[@dusthue]

Great for summing that up.

[@EdWeibe]

once he saw the mood jerry was in.lol. yeah he ran out of there.

[@xangolaiderr498]

Jerry Lewis was not that funny .

[@syourke3]

I don’t blame him. Lewis was grabbing him about the head.

[@joycepino9749]

This was before my time. I was born in 1955

[@soapbxprod]

I was born in 1960, but these guys were the kings of entertainment until 1970. It was the best era ever IMHO.

[@williamhenry1934]

TALANT! I was born in 1966, I loved these guys in the early 70s ! I’m so lucky to have caught the end of there career! RIP

[@JesseLeeHumphry]

"They heard you, it wasn't funny" Oh my god Jerry was so fuckin quick.

[@mftb1]

Thanks very very very much for posting this wonderfull video with my favourite artist (Jerry Lewis)

[@substance1]

The Dean Martin "Matt Helm" films are the coolest movies ever!

[@iangordoncraig2678]

Superb. Crosby & Hope were old hat by this time, with their prescripted q-cards. Jerry Lewis blew them away.

[@wodgerdog646]

Bing Crosby had one of the best and longest lasting careers in Hollywood, I don't think he was blown away by any other entertainers, ever, and as history has shown Bing was one of the best ad libbers in the business, they were reading out donations which is a long way from using cue cards.

[@jeffreyklaum13]

Also...Lewis reminds me of a jim carey or robin williams the way he's running around being crazy. Great stuff.

[@soapbxprod]

Actually- the other way around? :) Jerry and Jonathan Winters were their heroes... we produced the 1996 A&E Biography of Jerry- Alan King narrated- he was such a pleasure to work with. Someone has uploaded it here on KZbin- we cannot due to contract royalty agreements with A&E: Jerry Lewis... The Last American Clown It was nommed for the last Cable ACE Award for Best Doc, the year before cable networks were admitted to the Emmys. Hope you enjoy it- Luke Sacher Praeses & Soapbox Productions Inc.

[@MrSouthAmerica]

I totally agree. Jerry Lewis was an inspiration to so many entertainers. Carol Burnett for, example, did a few characters Jerry had developed in the Colgate Comedy Hour and used them on her excellent show. Personally, Jim Carrey is talented but cannot hold a candle to Mr. Lewis.

[@soapbxprod]

MrSouthAmerica YES! Carol Burnett is LAAAADY Jerry! Tarzan yell! :)

[@josephcalderon906]

That's quite true he was, only much more likable and less annoying. he was very clearly an inspiration to them. and the late great john ritter, if you three's company you 'll see what i mean. i and i thought Jonathan winters was the main influence on robin.

[@cldavis33]

LMAO - literally have tears here from laughing at Jerry. I watched him as a kid, but didn't see this stuff.

[@soapbxprod]
