Jerry Lewis will tear those muthafuckas apart. He's like a tyrant director, isn't he? I don't care. Nice to see him workin' and being bomb as per usual. THE COLGATE COMEDY HOUR WITH DEAN MARTIN AND JERRY LEWIS. Seriously, check it out on youtube. It's the greatest.

Jerry Lewis called his nephew the six-letter f-word like, twice on national television. I'm surprised you're posting this without calling a homophobe or a hate monger.

Prediction: this will be a meltdown! Lewis is an arrogant prick who thinks he is smarter and better than everyone else. He will alienate the entire cast and crew and this thing will close within two months. YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST BITCHES!!!!!!
