I worked with him many years ago on ' Damn Yankees ' musical - was a gentleman and one of the nicest people ive ever worked with over all my years. He treated my mother in law like she was the only person in the room, kissed her hand and offered her Belgian chocolates after one of the performances when he insisted i bring her back to meet him....
Year and a half ago i found myself working with him again at the Kennedy Center and got a few minutes to talk to him backstage before rehearsals and he said he remembered me but who knew...as he was going to the stage for the event he passed me in the hallway in his wheel chair and as he went by he cracked me in the shins with his cane, said ' hey kid ' and laughed his ass off as they took him to the stage....

He was more of a physical
He was more of a physical comedian, with childish routines. I outgrew it. Kind of a line from Chaplin>Keaton>Hardy>Lewis>Sellers>The Pythons.
Was it Steve Martin who said about Jerry Lewis, "In France, he is a god."?
Nevertheless, he was also called The King Of Comedy.

Every time a Laney amp
Every time a Laney amp arrives for repair at my shop
someone inevitably will say "Hey Laney" to riff on Jerry.
I did watch the telethons in the 70's, but I never did find him as funny as those from France did. RIIP Jerry. Thanks for all your contributions.
