I just heard about Jerry Lewis having passed. How sad.

Jerry Lewis is one of those love 'em or hate 'em kind of performers. I think he got bitter about the break up with Dean Martin, who arguably benefited from the split more than Jerry did. Before you know it, he's doing movies with big stars of the day like John Wayne (liked their pairing in "Rio Bravo) and then Martin had a big hit on NBC with his variety show. I remember watching that with my parents. Jerry Lewis could be an interesting talk show guest when he was in a serious mood and as others mentioned, he raised zillions of dollars with those telethons. He rarely slept during those.
There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!

And yesterday the sky darkened for Jerry Lewis' passing.

Sitcom legend Jay Thomas passes away at the age of 69
I remember him in many roles. RIPThe New York Daily News was the first to report the news of his passing, saying that his wife and two sons were by his side at the time of his death. Thomas was best known for roles in “Murphy Brown,” “Cheers,” “Mork & Mindy” and, most recently, “Ray Donovan” over his decades-long career.

Enjoy listening to the MARTIN & LEWIS radio show.
Jerry could be annoying to listen too at times but also funny.
Dean singing was excellent.
Martin and Lewis also had their own DC COMIC book series.

Rest In Peace!
I also remember him being on Letterman on lot. They had that strange Christmas tradition of knocking a meatball (supplied by Rupert's Deli) off the top of the Chrsitmas Tree.
He made his last appearance with Letterman in December 2014 where he tells his famous Clayton "Lone Ranger" Moore story.
The Christmas Tree toss tradition went back to 1998 and Jay easily held the record over Letterman, 12 - 3
