"I dart over like Jack Ruby..." 😂
Love this guy. Our paths crossed at LAX early one morning in 2017. He was kind and generous and funny. Always "on." RIP, Richard.
Not entirely sure the "always on" moniker applies to Richard Lewis. I have always had the sense that we were just seeing the man, as himself, in whatever we were lucky enough to be watching him do. But, I could be wrong. I almost always am, if you were to ask my wife.
What was he on?
How little was he? Seeing him stand next to Larry David I’m guessing he’s what about 5 feet tall and about 100 pounds?
RIP Richard. 😢
I’m telling ya that’s exactly why I never did Carson or Letterman
One of the funniest comics ever. And so overlooked when people talk Stand-up's. What made him so great was sometimes his jokes would hit you minutes after he delivered line!! And such great delivery. So sad to lose him.
😢 RIP
Terrific story.
that was an incredible show business story
He was so hip.
I’m kind of sad about how Charlie Rose flamed out. He had such a good show and the interviews were not rushed the way everything is now. Old school entertainment taken out by old school sexual power and control. Oh Charlie, you should be remembered for more but the test is time, just the same.
I am sad too. Much worse men than him are still raping young girls in Hollywood.
Yep, and they took down Don Hewitt's portrait at 60 Minutes he was never a bad guy and literally made CBS BILLIONS of dollars.
He didn’t flame out. He was fired after eight women, over a period of 21 years complained of sexual harassment, groping, and other allegations in which he apologized for.
I always enjoyed his show, but you never know what goes on behind the scenes, and what people with power and fame will do.
@@SThompsonRAMM_1203 me too got mostly their own side.
@@SThompsonRAMM_1203Lying b*tches
They cut Sinatra off on mid sentence during some award show because he wouldn't stop yaking accepting his award. Television production is a strict time regimented thing because it's as much about the advertisement time as it is about the show itself. Carson's opening monologue segment is six minutes - that's it! Then they go to commercial. Lewis took it almost twice as long. That's big-time upheaval in a production schedule. I can understand the producer's anger since it's his job to produce the damn show. But they should have made it crystal clear to Lewis, it's six minutes, then commercial break - got it!!!
The Jack Ruby reference was epic!. What a loss, this was one funny man.
Richard is a great stand up comedian.....
Where? when? I've never seen him being funny.
@@joepalooka2145Everywhere. Always.
rest in peace Richard- we adore your work
The balls on this guy...
I love this guy😄
I dart over like Jack Ruby…
Friends in high places.
Lewis was one of them
I'm confused. The monologue was supposed to be 6 minutes, but Richard Lewis went 11 minutes? Why would Mr. Lewis think that wouldn't be a problem?
Because he’s was a successful comedian with drive, hunger, talent and savvy and you’re not.
Obviously you’ve never seen Richard’s act. Digression was the core of his act.
Because he thought he was funnier than he actually was. The whiny "from hell" material got old real fast
@@HEADLINEZOO wrong answer Because Lewis was a one-trick pony. The ,"from hell" was all he had.
@PikesvilleAl guy died 2 weeks ago. Class comment dude
Wow!
You saved the day. Quality over terseness.
So was the producer Freddie Dicordiva?
yep
RIP
That's Hollywood: "you'll never work in this town again". So now we have all these people wanting to re-manufacture what Hollywood is and was. It's a tough tough industry and takes no prisoners. Now, take your pants off, OR ELSE.
I wish him well.
It didn't work 😔
@@pauldzim Sounds like something Richard would have said. 😂
Not sure if true. The tonight show was not a live show. They could edit his monologue.

It's a clip of Richard Lewis performing in 1982 on Carson, they literally cut him off mid-sentence with the music cue, it's so painful lol
@@riskybiznuts7697 I think Richard was a bit too coked up. The monologue wasn't really all that good either. The DMV from hell. I think most of the audience members were scratching their heads as he was pretty much just rambling on.
Hard to believe it was 36 years ago.
It’s “tape to live” and I don’t think comics had the leeway to go over just because they wanted to.
@@howard5992 Agreed. Probably explains why he never did stand up on any of those late-night shows ever again despite returning as a frequent guest. He was much better and funnier as a guest.
I think he's withholding some important information.
How about finding out if its true Before casting doubt to everyone. You are essentially calling him a lier. Don't know? That fits you well. Don't be lazy, do the work. Just my opinion.
I've watched that clip - it's on CZcams. He went nearly 9 minutes. I loved Richard but that is WAY too long. Frankly, it got very boring.
He had a tendency to go on too long. Not tight editing; rather stream of consciousness.
Richard played his jew card
What in the hell does that mean?
@@adamcarrey9115 Hey skippy the bit is .....from hell, not what in the hell.
@@PikesvilleAl smh
Cordova was a MOT
Hey chuckles... Richard was a walking "Jew card"... being Jewish was his whole persona... so whats your point?
Seeing Shaq naked: something like, “ He dragged it around on a sled, like Rosebud.”
