Mr. Lewis docked his yacht in San Diego (my HT) for many years. I ran into him more than a few times and he was always kind AND humble. I learned from him that celebs are just people and if you treat them as such, it goes a LONG way. Helped me a lot when I was an Entertainment Assistant later in life.

Jerry Lewis had a condo in South Florida in the 70s. My uniformed police partner and I were having breakfast one morning in an IHOP. This guy suddenly appeared at our table and picked up our check off the table. He said something like "You guys be careful out there. Thank you." and walked to the cashier. He was alone. I'll always remember him for that. No drama, no publicity, no hysterics. Just decent and humble. One of very few and I've met plenty.

No one ever mentions Jerry's talent as a dancer because most of his dance performances were goofy, but google a bit and you'll find comments from his contemporaries. As Astaire would tell you, dancing is hard, but comedic dancing like this is brutal. Jerry was an incredible all-around performer.

[@Azishome]

When I was a boy, Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis were on the Colgate Comedy Hour one Sunday evening. On that program, one group of guests were four African-American dancers--I don't remember their name. But the audience knew them. First, the guests did a fantastic dance routine that drew great applause. Then the guests invited Jerry and Dean to do a routine with them. Then all six of them did individual routines. The four guys were great, but Dean and Jerry also brought down the house. It was a tremendous evening for a kid. I'll never forget Jerry and Dean were tremendous dancers.

[@steph13326ify]

Lennart Carlsson Well, he was a pretty good physical ‘slapstick’ comedian, though I preferred Lucy and some of the Marx Brothers material. Bu the trouble with that kind of comedy is that it’s really only a young mans game. It’s much harder to keep up when you reach middle age. And comedy, of course, is very subjective - ‘one mans meat is another mans poison’. I myself prefer humour that makes clever use of language, someone like Tony Hancock or the manic double-talk of Groucho and Chico Marx. Also, the dry humour of Bob Newhart or Paul Merton (who just cracks me up whenever he goes off on one of his surreal rants!), or even Dean Martin whenever he would come out with one of his hilarious off-the-cuff ad-libs. But I know there will be plenty of people who will disagree with me, and that’s fair enough. There must surely be room for all kinds of humour, especially the way the world is today.

His jitterbug dance didn't seem that goofy to me he was actually very synced up and discipline to do all the moves!! It also was very entertaining he was a very talented actor and comedian!!!

[@kknewton5957]

I grew up seeing Jerry Lewis & Dean Martin in so many shows. Topping the charts of talent. So much fun, always, to watch. Always looked forward to watching reruns, too! Really miss the Labor Day Telathon hosted by Jerry... he seemed to be a genuine, compationate & giving person. Wish we could go back to those times.

[@Tina-qp7py]

I agree that his dancing was very professional this time and not goofy like we're used to from him.

[@MrJamberee]

Indeed. I didn’t think it was goofy as I was watching his footwork. It was terrific.

[@tanyanelson8780]

I had no idea he could dance. Great job

More proof that Jerry Lewis was a show business legend. The technique he showed in this was typically amazing. He was a master of every kind of entertainment art. His dramatic acting ability and his comedy were both profoundly skillful. Constantine Stanislavsky often taught that the grotesque was the highest form of acting and Jerry Lewis routinely performed masterfully the kind of technical abilities only a Stanislavsky could recognize. That’s why we are impressed with Jerry Lewis. For the same reason.

Always loved this dance scene. Jerry Lewis had an ability to make you believe in every character he portrayed. I think that's true, because Jerry believed in them first.

Do you what movie this from? I’ve never seen it before! Wow!

@@rossapolis Thank you! My husband of 40 years has been a huge fan of Jerry all his life. He has really turned me on to the finer art of Jerry Lewis.

Wow, that's incredible!

JERRY was a great representative of old Hollywood. A great song and dance man in his own right. RIP you nutty guy.

[@edstimator1]

definitely mixed reviews on Jerry Lewis but no one can deny the man had talent. He was born to entertain and he sure did entertain a LOT of people for a good long time. RIP Jerry

[@beverleydabell3241]

Ohhhh I loved Jerry Lewis when I was a kid, I thought he was amazing bless him. 😂

[@pegv4718]

Love 💘 the old films and the actors who put so much of their lives into these!

[@alfamily586]

Love you, thanks for all the happy times you gave me as a kid!! I also thought you were one of the best looking men in hollywood!! RIP Mr. Lewis.

[@nomorebushz]

Physically the precursor to Jim Carrey with that contortionist ability with pure energy.

[@maureenmaher7474]

We love him so much! JERRY was a part of our family! 💙

[@barbarapierson402]

What talent! When I was a little girl I saw every Jerry Lewis movie. I still enjoy them!

[@sharonp4446]

I worked for Southland where we all donated money for MDA Marathons. Once a year he would come to Tyler and I was always lucky enough to engage in conversation with him.! Such a sweet gentleman.

[@belladoll7363]

I sure do miss when stars actually had talent like this. Thanks for posing ;).

[@hohaia01]

Saw him in Nutty Professor the other night. The dude could really sing and act. He was talented, very talented.

[@valeriesanders4917]

That's the truth. My Mom loved Jerry Lewis so much that she hooked me on to his movies 🎥

[@YuckFooToo1]

That was some seriously frenetic dancing...made my heart race!

[@stevenburger7158]

OMG...I have never seen that footage. Hilarious and amazing at the same time. Jim Carrey must have watched a lot of Jerry Lewis footage ;-)

[@YouzTube99]

Oh yeah! And we can add Sean Hayes to the 'Influenced by Jerry', particularly in the role of Jack McFarland.

[@LorieLee7]

STEVEN BURGER I was thinking the exact same thing!

[@Eszra]

Now I know why Jerry Lewis is so amazing.

[@pbear7814]

Apparently only when the cameras were on.

@@pbear7814 he was an odd one.

[@tomcole4736]

Jerry Lewis had so much talent and athletic ability that he his so perfectly. Cannot say enough about what he did with the MDA telethons. God bless him

[@celtyivesprince8423]

even when clownin around Jerry could dance respect

[@TheRozberry]

I just love Sheree North's "wild style" of dancing the jitterbug!!! That's the way I would do it!!!

[@billkaim8516]

Love Jerry and Dean . Boy could Jerry dance amd seriously sing also. Those were.the days of talent and class. You may have talent today but most lack class

[@alamc200]

OMG! All these dancers are amazing dancers all around! But I've heard it's especially difficult to pull off comedy and dancing like Jerry did.

[@jacksonlow7470]

Hi there... How are you doing? Hope you are fine and staying safe???

[@denismay6011]

Jerry has more Talent, Happiness with what he does and Class than most people half his age.

[@denismay6011]

@e causey Thank you for joining in. I feel these days most of our so called " Celebrities ' have zero Class content. Although not 100% certain I thought I read somewhere Jerry Lewis had passed away. If so our World will laugh a little bit less now. With all the man made crap going on now in these COVID19 days one can understand why our World is so sad. I am 71 now and hope to live long enough to see the creators of this vile plague brought to justice but I fear Justice and Class has gone the way of the Do Do Bird and we are all poorer for their passing. Cheers from Australia. Denis.

[@denismay6011]

@e causey Let us hope you are right I know the wheels of justice move slower than any Snail but I guess they are still moving forward. Stay Safe and Well. Cheers, Denis.

Who knew Jerry Lewis could dance like that? Sounds like Maynard Ferguson on trumpet!

[@pattyleahy2591]

He was a wonderful performer. Extremely talented man.

[@Kelly-nm4kw]

Hello Patty, How are you doing?

[@Sagacious3237]

Had no idea Jerry Lewis was such a talented dancer. He's very good. Really. Takes a lot of talent to incorporate his silliness into that dance routine. Wonder if Dino could do that to. Loved it.

[@staceym9163]

Pull up Colgate Comedy Hour featuring Martin & Lewis...they do a lot of duets....you'll love it.
