I have mixed feelings about this presentation. On the one hand it is a fantastic photo montage of the life of a very singular genius. It seems well researched and well reported however to title it about the violence of the man was a cheap shot. What I saw was a man operating at a very high level of creativity who has all of us humans, had feet of clay. A personality that profound that strayed into overly sharp rhetoric and verbal abuse of others. When you compare that to you yourself compiled as a lifetime of excellence and service that benefited physically and spiritually to people all over the planet then it was very unfair to encapsulate this presentation as the violence of Jerry Lewis. You ought to be ashamed of yourself and if you’re not then there are some of us out here who see through you and your desire to gain a KZbin following with no regard for your tactics. Have you been more sincere about your presentation it would’ve been not just a good presentation but a great presentation about a great man who had flaws. But your inability to go for the cheap shot really characterizes YOU as a poor excuse for a human being. Pageofwonder 0:06

Mr.Lewis did more than prevent his sons by his first marriage to Ms.Palmer from inheriting his estate.

About the Telethon! My sister was the executive secretary of Sertoma which is a do gooder outfit headquartered in Kansas City. It was "Service to Mankind" and they decided to make Mr. Lewis their "Man of the year" and asked my sister to coordinate with the legal folks at Mr. Lewis' organization to arrange this. She contacted them and they were thrilled for such publicity and my sister mentioned that Sertoma would require a statement that Mr. Lewis was not compensated for the work he did. They handed her over to the Lewis legal folks. She explained what Sertoma required and the lawyer immediately explained they could NOT provide such a document as Mr. Lewis was very well compensated for the telethon. Their spokesperson went on to explain that they realized many people had come forward and volunteered to do the Telethon for free, but they would not have the draw Mr. Lewis had and the business decision was made to pay Mr. Lewis. How about that! What a phony he appears to have been! Uhmm?

He could have had narcissistic traits or personality: infidelity (narcissists perceive only physical part of love and sometimes are mad about it), lack of empathy (insensitive jokes), cruelty (harassment), lack of values (insensitive public comments, harassment), etc. His acting career, contribution to MD charity could be motivated by the need for attention (so called: narcissistic supply). I recommend anyone to at least learn 'Narcissistic Red Flags', look up Prof. Sam Vaknin (self aware narcissist), Dr. Ramani, Dr. Les Carter, Dr Abdul Saad, Ross Rosenberg (interview: 'The Ugly Truth about Gaslighting' as test for narcissistic parents). I'd say an extra prayer for him. Narcissists are living in fear, go through life using, bulling others. They know what is right, what is wrong, wouldn't like to be treated the way they treat others. There's a difference between mistakes, and pride, constant pattern of negative behaviours.

My father, as a Pan Am captain once flew Jerry Lewis to Rio and it I just happened to be on the same flight (first-class). I don't recall what caused the event, but,Lewis became verbally abusive with one of the stewardesses (as they we referred to at the time). Said stewardess complained to my father and my father came out from the cockpit, approached Mr Lewis saying, "If you ever speak that way to anyone on my flight again, in the manner in which you did, I will come out and kick the bejesus out of you.". Lewis behaved himself the remainder of the flight. I sat across the aisle from Mr Lewis and at some point he looked over at me and, seeing the smile on my face, he said, "What?" and I said, "He's my father." And I have to say, he took it rather well and laughed, adding, "I bet you'll remember that for the rest of your life." I instantly forgave him. Btw, I had no idea whether my father recognized who he was and I certainly didn't.

Over the years many questions have been asked as to what happened to all that 2 Billion dollars raised every fall during his MDA Telethons. Much of it seems untraceable.

Supposedly much off it was unaccounted for and didn't end up working for the MDA research programs.

For me it confirmed what I already heard in other documentaries about him. Narcissistic abuse is worse than physical. He could have had narcissistic traits or personality: infidelity (narcissists perceive only physical part of love and sometimes are mad about it), lack of empathy (insensitive jokes), cruelty (harassment), lack of values (insensitive public comments, harassment), etc. His acting career, contribution to MD charity could be motivated by the need for attention (so called: narcissistic supply).

My mother grew up around that time and sad Jerry badmouthed Dean and supposedly initiated the breakup. I think Jerry might have even said Dean would amount to nothing and was a drunk. Well, Dean made so much money from film , tv and recordings after the split that at one point he practically owned NBC. As a child I used to think Jerry was hilarious in films, but when I saw him on TV in interviews and hosting the telethons he just read as a nasty person. I was a kid but I knew something was off. He just seemed creepy and mean.

There are some common types but really each narcissist is different like fingerprints. For the victims proper diagnosis is not required to learn how to deal with them. I wonder why he disown children from the 1st marriage? Perhaps they knew and were able to tell the truth about him. Narcissism is just type of character, it's not a disease but such person can destroy lives of close people, communities, world in order to save face (someone with NPD).

​@@sunglasses-ex4jn I’m delighted for you that you have nice memories of him. I do not intend to bring his name down. I know many narcissists, narcissistic people and love them dearly. If you go deeper into this issue you may love him even more. Narcissists are people broken in childhood, going through life in fear, dealing with difficulties like 2 years old, denying they do anything bad while for lack of empathy using, destroying people. He started pulling Dean’s hair, got too difficult, overdid. I believe him when he said in one interview they never lost contact. They stop working together but kept meeting, participated in parties of both families. It was very kind of Dean. I’ve seen him looking during some performances just miserable. It was very wise of Jerry to choose to be an actor to satisfy his need for attention (called ‘narcissistic supply’). Many narcissists or narcissistic people for attention (negative or positive) will irritate others, insult, lie, abuse. He is not a man who made mistakes but a man who had certain tendencies, constant pattern of negative behaviours. I used to love to watch Carol Burnett Show. But more I did it came realization that they also pushed down the level of sensibility of viewers what is decent. If it wasn’t for that I would have bought all her DVDs You would honor his memory by learning more about narcissism. This could help you, others, maybe you could help some victims, motivate some narcissists to seek help.

Maybe you could circle the Jerome part. You're trying to find the hospital he was born? And you can't even get his birth certificate right?

[@rpprevost]

You should read his description, then.

[@tb6303]

@@rpprevost Yeah, it's even worse!

[@susancartright9657]

He was viciously cruel to his son's,a. drug addict

[@angelcitygirl]

Besides how he treated his family and s e x u al l y harassed women, the real story is how this fantastically UNFUNNY guy, ever became famous at all?

[@LuciferMornStar]

Strange! I've noticed that some comics are real nuts! Costello of Abbott and Costello turned out to be a very mean person. Don't know what the deal is but I guess maybe the pressure of always being up and funny!

His youngest son was born in 1964 the same time as our child in the hospital same floor in Santa Monica, Calif. And he came by and said hi to everyone on the floor. Big carts of flowers going down to his wife's room. Then about 1968 he checked into a hotel in Ohio- I was working the front desk. He was always polite and cordial.😊

All con men know how to be polite. They are still con men.

@rubynormayanez5698 0 seconds ago I was the house band orchestra leader at Brown's in The Catskills and for 6 horrendous years was forced to work the telethon or lose my job. Jerry was a true monster and forced people to work and then he took credit for their labor. He was very cruel and totally greedy and dishonest in person.

[@willchristie2650]

Well, if he was nice to YOU, I guess all the rest of it is false, right?

[@allandavis8201]

A very interesting and informative video, obviously a great deal of work went into it and that paid off, however, with such an iconic subject for the video why did you think it necessary to use a clickbait title?, don’t you have any confidence in your work? Or do you think 💭 people won’t be interested without a salacious title?, whatever the reason you need to stop using clickbait titles, making such an allegation of being the most violent icon and not giving any credibility to it in the video is unfair to someone who is not alive to defend themselves and is also an insult to his fans and remaining family and friends. Still going to give you a thumbs up as the video itself was excellent, thanks for sharing.

[@chevy266nova]

I had a aunt that worked at a International Airport in a major city. When Jerry Lewis came in to the airport, he had a unpleasant personality that you could see.

[@et_phonehome_2822]

I was never surprised about Jerry Lewis bad side, you can see it when he did those MDA fund raising, standup comedy acts, etc. from his facial expressions at times.

[@mikekenney1947]

I met Jerry Lewis in his home in Bel Air in the 60’s. I was only 17 but it was immediately evident that he was unstable. Real people don’t act like he did, ranting uncontrollably. I was a total outsider but he had no restraint. His family was mortified

[@brendaalbert6924]

Where was the violence… no violence, WTF… Not that I’m a fan of Jerry.

I grew up in the era of Martin and Lewis, and even as a kid I found Lewis weird and somewhat frightening, he was to "in your face", never did like him even then.

[@janeg8274]

It is interesting to me that SO many famous comedians have a very dark side away from the camera. Now that can mean anything from physical abuse to deep depression. I am 64 and of course remember Martin and Lewis but something about Lewis always bothered me??

[@carolinebyrne9392]

good works can sometimes cover up a dark soul

[@carolinebyrne9392]

to be totally honest i found him more iretateing than funny

[@fayeray2092]

Fact is, he thought he didn’t need Dean Martin and dropped him like a rock. Never thinking Martin would make it without him. Lewis’s son once said he spent more time at Dean Martins house because he has such a happy family and lots of kids and also that he was welcomed. He used to go there to get fed. Lewis was NOT a good father.

[@tomtransport]

Well, Bing Crosby sure hated him. On the early "LIVE" TV show, Colgate Comedy Hour, Jerry tries to pull off Bings heirpeice but Bing was able to duck away and left the stage. Bing never spoke to Jerry the rest of his life. I do know that Bing mistreated his first family to the point his son's took their own lives. Turns out Bing and Jerry had a lot in common.

[@mikedavis2969]

I bet his son's are talking crap about him .

[@raymyhill2277]

He had great hair.

[@tangogent]

I found him VERY sexy-looking when he was younger. (NOT his personality, however!)

[@kkplum3575]

In the description paragraph this dude is talking about Gary Cooper, then the video is about Jerry Lewis. So who in heck is the "violent icon"? Thumbs down

[@bluntinstrument6070]

Spent about 2 hours with he and for a time with his daughter Danielle( as he entertained her). It was in the 90s on a transcontinental flight. Found him to be ‘ loud’ ( not uncommon amongst Americans) but , open, gracious and interested very in flying. I enjoyed the time spent together and at the end he invited me to the show he was going to perform that night as his guest. Unfortunately, I could not attend and I regret that . Sorry to hear of his passing but, happy to have met the man whose movies I enjoyed as a child.

[@MadHax-wt5tl]

Even when I was a kid, some 40+ years ago, I found Lewis to be about as funny as sticking your junk into a hornets nest. I personally just find him to be loud, obnoxious and grating.

[@MarkTrain-hw2xt]

So easy to make a negative clickbait KZbin video about someone long gone....just for a few bucks, but that is what much of Google's KZbin is all about...

I grew up watching Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin. They were one of the best duos ever. I don’t care what happened behind the scenes. They were magic on the movie screen you got your money, worth , clean entertainment.😅😅

I agree - Lewis's best work was with Dean Martin!

Where's the violence? 30 minutes of saying nothing. Maybe it's a retrospective of Lewis's life; but 'Most Violent Icon'? Where does that come into it?

I knew about Gary Lewis - and the Playboys, which you didn't mention - but I had no idea that there were comic books! Or how hateful he was towards All of The Offspring from the Longsuffering Wife/Mother.
