Jerry Lewis dies aged 91
I am surprised nobody has picked up on this. Sure, his comedy was slapstick and only appealed to 9-year olds, but I guess most of us were 9 years old once:

I'll give him credit for hosting fund-raising telethons for muscular dystrophy for over 40 years, but he was a miserable prick otherwise. Even the telethons were more about his giant celebrity ego than his human compassion. Hadn't really done anything remotely funny since the 1950s. Plenty of old interviews on Youtube show what a complete asshole he was. A genuinely bitter and unpleasant man.

Actually, some of his best movies came out in the 60's. And I would like to see "The Day the Clown Cried".Edwardo wrote:I'll give him credit for hosting fund-raising telethons for muscular dystrophy for over 40 years, but he was a miserable prick otherwise.

A legend. Him and Dean. Classic.
Quite long-lived, these comedians.
Good clean, slapstick fun.
His Chinaman was excellent, his stories like a 50S/60s Chaplin.
To a man who made the world a better place through laughter, RIP.

He was good in his small role in the 2016 Nicolas Cage heist film "The Trust." I liked the film, the reviews from critics were mixed.

He was very talented. And for a time he coudn't walk down the street in France...

Then the French know even less about humor than they do about hygiene.

Admittedly, the Americans have a wicked sense of humor. Look at #45.Edwardo wrote:Then the French know even less about humor than they do about hygiene.

I've laughed 3 times more at the cracks in this thread than I ever did at Jerry Lewis.
But then I'm riding a nice buzz.
Speaking of recently dying celebrity American comedians, Dick Gregory also civil rights activist, died the day before.
And how about that American sense of humor, think of J. Edgar Hoover the ex-CIA director from the sixties. Little lovely, lovely man who pried into the sex lives of Dick Gregory, Martin Luther king and other black civil rights activists. Dick Gregory ran for president as a lark but good ole J Edgar just didn't have much of a sense of humor.
Sick fuck.
And you think #45 has a CIA comedy routine going on.

He was also quite a competent drummer. See drum solo battle with Buddy Rich.
Gary Lewis ,his son, of Playboys fame, was also a drummer and was tutored by Buddy before he turned to a singing career.
