Marc Summers interviews Jerry Lewis

[@peekaboots01]

This man has been dead for many years but for some reason I've been thinking of him recently and binge watching old interviews.

[@kellycaviness4850]

Me too!! Jerry was such a genius and not just a comedic one!

[@marym5037]

Love this man to pieces...such a unique human! Miss him so much :(

[@windchimeisland]

I like Marc as an interviewer. He is what an interviewer should be.

[@haveabarryniceday238]

I love and miss Jerry,I could have listened to his interviews all day.

[@kristeninthedirtysouth]

I'm right there with you. I didn't start researching Jerry and looking up his stuff till he passed away. I hate that hearing about that made me discover him but I fell in love with him immediately and now I'm hooked! He was amazing and gorgeous and multi-talented..:)

Very well spoken man. I heard not so nice things about him. I say none of us are perfect.There is a dark side to all of us. I grew up with his movies. I got to see him at the Browns hotel years ago. He was terrific. Very talented man.

Jerry LOVED to pontificate and perform. *he deserved the accolade: genius and survivor. an amazing person. he worked at his craft FOR 80 YEARS! with many ups and downs, ... but mostly UPS! what a life that guy lived!*

He brought so much joy/laughter to my life. And tears watching "The Nutty Professor" when he thought he disappointed Miss Purdy...A True Comedic Genius😋

[@josephconsoli4128]

As much as I'm a monstrous fan of Jerry, I always had reservations due to certain stories I've heard. Hearing him say that analogy about the cards in hopper, I regained total adoration for him. He's spot on. I consider myself basically a good person, yet I've done bad things. I've been very generous, yet very stingy. Very warm, yet very cold, very tolerant, yet very stubborn, true to my word, yet a liar.....and so on. I'll never forget what he said here.

[@marlasheridan6705]

Why does everyone say I heard? It’s all hearsay and if any of is true there’s a reason he did what he did. I can also say I heard that his ex wife turned his bio kids against him ….there’s always 2 sides

[@CatherineB.39]

​@@marlasheridan6705She didn't need to. His actions towards them was enough.

[@alexsmuckler2165]

I have loved Jerry Lewis for fifty of my sixty four years. He was a complete entertainer. Comic, singer, dancer, fine dramatic actor and above all a great humanitarian. He definitely had faults as all human beings have As far as being a good father, no one has the right to judge him unless you walked in his shoes. As far as his will is concerned, children, grandchildren ect should not expect an inheritance from their parents. It is something that is earned through loyalty and love. So all the critics out there should get a life and be concerned with your own actions, and let Mr. Lewis's memory speak for itself.

[@CatherineB.39]

How bout acknowledgement of a daughter he had from an affair. He talked about being truthful, this is hard to watch cuz I love that genius.

[@scottpollack1007]

I honestly wish I could believe everything coming out of Jerry’s mouth! Unfortunately, I’ve heard very negative rumors over the years and since I’v always been a huge fan, I wanted to put these rumors to rest in my mind! After doing considerable “Due Diligence”, I discovered that the rumors about Jerry were mostly true! He was a Horrible husband to his first wife and a terrible Father to his kids! Before he died, he cut his first wife and all of his kids from his first wife out of his will! He left his $50 million estate to his second wife and their adopted daughter! He also has a daughter out of wedlock who is Homeless which he refuses to help in any way! I’ve seen her in several interviews and she stated that Jerry knows of her situation but, refuses to help her! NICE GUY! In this Country, we worship our “Hollywood Idols” without truly understanding who theses people are “Off The Silver Screen”! We’re in Love with the Movie Star and not the True Individual! SAD!

[@bcsurvivor4713]

You said a mouthful. People need to stop worshipping these people.

[@SkankHunt3000]

His family problems have nothing to do with his authenticity in this interview. You’re judging him on things you know nothing about. We have no idea what their family dynamic was. He may have been awful to them but who knows what kind of family he has. I have grandparents so evil and cousins who steal from their parents ..there are some in my family who would call me every name in the book because i cut them out of my life. They’re horrible people. Jerry may have been a bad father, but getting outrage and shitting on the guy when he can’t defend himself is petty and childish. We’re here to enjoy a movie star we loved to watch ..none of us are perfect and can’t imagine what it must have been like to be Jerry Lewis. Everyone constantly wanting something from him. If you’re gonna cry over a homeless woman who has every opportunity in this country to get back on her feet with the programs we offer. Eviction protection, loans, carefirst, food stamps. Stop blaming those who are successful for others peoples failures. Get some talent , than you can judge him.

[@Omnicient.]

Jerry has the characteristics of a masked sociopathic narcissist. He couldn't help it as most can't. We can also see him getting frighteningly manic after the14 minutes mark and strikes me as someone who would go much further if there were no cameras to record it. He used to be a hero of mine as a kid but thankfully with mass media we can increasingly see our hero's in another way and you're correct when you say none of us are perfect but that still doesn't mean we have to continue to praise or like such personality disorders.

[@jimlaforte1755]

His first family was all grown up. His second family was young. Why do people feel entitled to other people's money when they pass?

[@Omnicient.]

@@jimlaforte1755 'other people's money'!! He was their father; a multi-millionaire and it's natural that the kids inherit or are given money; otherwise the money stays in a bank forever more?

[@alir.9894]

Wow ths Marc Summers guy did a great job interviewing him.

[@adrinathegreat3095]

Jerry's honestly disguised as joke " you don't think I'm here because I want to meet you do you" He's saying " I'm here to promote myself as that's what people do in my game, book, movie, show whatever. If I've nothing to promote you won't see me, it's all about the money

[@kdbwiz]

You’re 100% right. His was a mean statement, but it’s absolutely what he thinks. He got kicks out of it getting laughs. Jerry was all about Jerry.

This is so beautiful!

[@kellycaviness4850]

Jerry was a beautiful human being. He did so many wonderful things if only people would take time to really read and study this man. He had an ego I believe but who wouldn't? He was only 20 when he rocketed to stardom overnight with Dean Martin. Of course he had an ego. The man had more talent than anybody in Hollywood ever. And all I hear is " he left his children out of his will". So tired of that! Those kids were grown men when Jerry died and from everything I've read already had their inheritance. And the homeless daughter? If she is indeed Jerry's daughter then she has had ample opportunity to get on her feet but to be honest, it's more profitable for her to remain homeless. And THAT is NOT Jerry's fault

[@charlesdodgson3684]

He never did 2 and half solo at the Royal Variety nobody did. It was a variety show that lasted 2hrs. The show was on every year in the UK. He was a physical comic ,a one trick pony. He mentioned his adopted daughter and his wife.Not one mention of his children or grandchildren. He left his first wife, blanked his children and grandchildren .How could anyone do that. The reason nobody really wanted to work with him is because he was box office poison.

[@marbury2403]

He seemed like an awful person.

[@panchovilla5359]

He made a beaut of a mistake by abandoning his family.

[@robdenaro4215]

His public image is a facade. If you dig deeper, you will find that behind the scenes he was a jerk, treated a lot of people badly, starting with his family. He remained a dark tormented twisted soul, all of his life. He hated Dean Martin for breaking up the act, despite what Lewis says in interviews. He trades off the goodwill that Dean enjoyed.

[@rty1955]

Very arrogant, self centered and narcissistic. I had the displeasure of working with this person in the 70s. His arrogance ruined a 4 hour edit session with me and kept calling me kid. I am a Emmy award editor. I worked in Tape since it invention. He had the nerve to yell at me for his blunder, and I yelled back. My supervisor heard the shouting and told Jerry to knock it off, or I was going to walk off the edit. He kept going at me, I looked him in the eyes and said "I'm outta here! You blew it" and walked out. He was furious. I tild my supervisor that I never want to work with him again, and I never did

Basically Jerry Lewis was a very talented comic when it came to being ON SCREEN. However, when he was OFF SCREEN his personality was terrible. There is a network tv program called "Inside Edition" that sent reporters out and actually interviewed his REAL daughter who is living on the streets and she is homeless. Please Look it up everyone, her name is Susan Lewis and the tv program was called "Inside Edition" He treated her like shit and allowed her to live on the streets. Look it up everyone, her name is Susan Lewis. Also, his sons say he mentally abused them.
