funny how that post looks so similar to mine from years ago…..

Jerry Lewis at the 1959 #Oscars. Lewis hosted the Academy Awards three times, in 1956, 1957 and the 31st Academy Awards in 1959, which ran twenty minutes short, forcing The actor to improvise to fill time.

A veiled satire for you…
Part I



“Vic started to sing and Ziggy is jumping and skipping and hopping and he jumps in Vic’s arms and the whole joint was on goddamn fire!”
“They ad libbed, they danced and did impressions”
“Any time anything they were doing got them in trouble, they could just toss out the script. That was the incredible talent they had. Ziggy could just wing it and Vic could play along.”
“When the news hit that Fountain and Bliss were reuniting, it was gigantic. It was bigger than gigantic. It was mammoth.All the networks covered it, all the papers and magazines.”
“Me and him was lightening in a bottle.”
Who could he mean?
(and these are the subtle references.)

not to mention the ‘beau brummell’ private joke the two shared about this watch. and who has private jokes? couples, you say?
Jerry’s priceless possessions being all auctioned off hurts me a lot. But probably this the most…..
— A collection of Lewis’ watches, including his 18-karat yellow gold Cartier watch from the Baignoire collection, circa late 1960s to early 1970s (estimate: $25,000-35,000). Also, an 18-karat yellow gold Patek Philippe given to Lewis by Sammy Davis, Jr. engraved on the back “To Jerry From Sammy Jr.” (estimate: $6,000-$8,000); and a 14-karat yellow gold Le Coultre watch given to him by Dean Martin and inscribed “Jerry My Buddy/ and Pal/ I Love You/ Dino,” (estimate: $4,000-6,000).
