It doesn't get better than this these two men are the epitome of what show businesses is. True Entertainment may God bless Jerry Lewis and may God bless Jack Carter
"..I doubt very strongly if anyone will meet with resistance when I say he is the most fantastic individually one talented, many faceted performer that I have had the good fortune to know for some 20 years and he is not only a great comedian but a very fine, very very wonderful guy a good friend.." Pile it on Jerry. LOLOL.
Jerry doing what he does best, making poetry from improvised chaos. Jack is a great sparring partner. It would have been something special to see him live with Deano back in the day.
You bet it is. These guys think they're Jack Benny and George Burns. How the hell did this pass for entertainment? Poor Hugh, he knows it's bombing, and wants to just leave.
I love them both but I just didn't find it funny, I think if I'd been mucking round with them it would have been hilarious, but it's more like the stuff you do at home or in a pub to entertain yourself, I dance round with a pile of handbags as a hat and put beer mats on people's ears. I much prefer them on Password or Jerry in his flawless brilliant films.
Jerry Lewis is one of the most egotistical, unfunny "comics" to emerge from the 40/50 night club scene. His movies are insipid and stupid, and he's only got moves that he stole from Stan Laurel. Plus him and his pals kept most of the money raised by that insipid telethon consisting of third rate vaudeville acts and his corn ball tear jerking little speeches.
Sadly, true. Carter was one of those comics that never made it big, but, like Jan Murray and Norm Crosby, always seemed to be around'. Old time comics swear they were top notch, but I don't get it. These guys all seem bitter and angry for some reason, seems not to even enjoy their work. Insincere and cruel in some way... the kind of guys who take off the tie three minutes into their act to show everyone how hard they are working for YOU. the audience. Guys like Dean Martin did not try so hard an came off funny... these guys not so much.
@@rogerwilco4397 According to somebody or other (I can't remember who) Jerry Lewis actually admired Jan Murray as a worldly sophisticate. These were aggressive, insensitive men who were self-conscious of their lack of education and tried to compensate by steamrolling audiences with "zany" capers. In fact, you don't need a college degree to recognize that these guys were trying to drag down viewers to their own level.
@@vikings844 Another time, another place. I find them fascinating and marvellous but what is apparent is how very hard they have to keep working and what a stress it is. Comedy was even more competitive then than it is now, with fewer outlets for old and new talents. I agree though, classic and original. I love it.
This is outstanding! Both were on their game, but Jerry was extra good this night!

two brilliant and very bold comedic minds and performers. mostly, they were "winging it" with improvisation.
Jerry introduced jack making 98% of it all about Jerry.

Watching Lewis and Carter talk so fast was like watching a movie from the 30's.
Carter and Jerry really clicked together! They could have played off each other all night!
It sounds like they were good friends in real life.
Rare stuff. Where did you get this? WOW
Some chaotic energy with these 2. Entertaining

Wake me up when Jack Carter is funny
That comment made me LMAO!! Too funny.
Good Lord.
Being goofy was an art form
And that is why nobody came even close to the king host of late night Johnny........
Hysterical
No swear words. No sexual innuendo. No politics.
And .....ahem, no laughs.
Ohhh Yeahhh. Thks you. Nj-usa 🎶🏋🏽♀️🎯🤗🎶
4 minutes in, it's bombing, it's awkward, they know it.
You bet it is. These guys think they're Jack Benny and George Burns. How the hell did this pass for entertainment? Poor Hugh, he knows it's bombing, and wants to just leave.
@@rogerwilco4397 its half hour of noise, annoying noise. ive seen coke heads ramble on that were more entertaining.
Jerry Lewis defined unctuous.
Between Jack P and Johnny C
HEY LADY!
Jerry's high pitch voice is painful to my ears.
It was his professional voice. Your comment is also so painful to my intelligence.
Can't decide who's the least funny. Jerry Lewis or Jack Carter. Jack Carter is such a hassle. A lot of work.
Hugh Downs looks really annoyed by this! Lol
vikings844 Hugh was just playing out the contract at this point. A pro putting up with amateurs.
Hugh Downs was a "class act"....too bad he had to put up with these two idiots!!!!
I love them both but I just didn't find it funny, I think if I'd been mucking round with them it would have been hilarious, but it's more like the stuff you do at home or in a pub to entertain yourself, I dance round with a pile of handbags as a hat and put beer mats on people's ears.

I thought this crap was hilarious when i was young. Now im bored.
Not funny glad we are in 2017
Sad you don't appreciate the classics!
vikings844 I really don’t. I want to appreciate this comedy because it is good to some, but I just don’t get it. Seems weird.
@@etermena96 His comedic time is second to none, many famous comedians and entertainers agree with me!

@@vikings844it’s second to most of todays decent club comics. even for the times these guys were pretty fucking bad.
Not funny
Good Lord.
