In My Opinion
Was never too big on his acting, but what he did with the Jerry's Kids in a time that people generally did not give money to such things was just incredible.

On the rare occasion I think of Jerry Lewis, I think of the Weird Al song "Genius in France."

I wasn't around in the 40's when he and Dean Martin paired up but I DO have their 5 DVD set. Some of these skits are hillarious and have a lot of clean humor in them. Jerry was a riot and waayyy smarter than the "stooge" part he played...
