43M Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I was too young to really see his glory years, but he is a true comedy icon and was someone many of the great comedic minds of any generation look up to. He was 91, so at least he got to live a nice, long life. RIP Jerry, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC_Guy Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Grew up with him and Dean Martin ... and those two were just hilarious. Different to what may be considered funny these days though ... but that was the easy stuff without much thinking about politics, race, religion ... just fun or its own sake.

Bucketheadsdad Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 We also lost comedian and civil rights activist **** Gregory over the weekend. Very funny man. Both of them made the world laugh, but went above and beyond with their civic-mindedness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLambert58 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 RIP. Great comedian and the brains behind the films of Martin and Lewis. And the thing I really admire about Jerry Lewis is that he used his celebrity to do some good in the world by helping kids with Muscular Dystrophy.
