HEY LAADDYYYYYYyyy!!!!

Jerry Lewis, the manic, rubber-faced comedian who burst onto the post-World War II show-business scene with partner Dean Martin and together became the hottest comedy team of their era before launching his own highly successful solo career a decade later, has died. He was 91.

His death was confirmed by his publicist, according to the Associated Press.

Lewis’ reputation as a comedic filmmaker in America never matched his canonization in France, where he was hailed as a cinematic genius for his self-directed comedies of the 1960s.

Known nearly as much for his philanthropic work as for his comedy the last few decades of his life, Lewis was a Labor Day weekend fixture for 44 years as host of the annual Muscular Dystrophy Assn. telethon.

Adios Jerry!

Well Done.

I may watch on of his movies today...
 
If I drop a brick on my foot and squeal, does that count as homage?
