Jim Carrey truly embodies Jerry Lewis, I can always see how much of a great influence & source of inspiration for him in the majority of his films. Jim Carrey wouldn't be the man he is today without Jerry's influence, that I truly believe. So endless thanks to Jerry Lewis for the pebble effects of laughter and love. My favourite video interview of them both is when Jim says to Jerry "Hi, I'm the guy who's mother you fooked"🤣🤣🤣he didn't know that the camera was on. Absolutely priceless.
I've recently discovered Jerry Lewis. Sadly a lot of cultural stuff was missing in my childhood. But he was extremely talented actor. He played silly characters and some very serious characters. Watching Jerry now, I can see how much he influenced my favorite actor, Jim. The full-bodied atunts, the cadences and nuances used in his characters. Jim is was very much my generation's Jerry Lewis and i hope the future generstions continue to have Jerrys and Jims to bring them laughs.
I'm so glad you discovered Jerry. Jerry was an absolute genius. People have really pounded him in the ground for no reason except for what they hear on social media. Research Jerry, really research and study and you'll be surprised at what he became considering where he came from, and his life with Dean Martin which consists of a lot of lies such as Dean hated him which is the biggest lie of all.
I worked as a lighting technician when Jerry was on broadway in the late 1980's. His humour was very different off camera and he was very bad mannered and rude to people who were not part of the film crew. His personality changed as soon as the cameras stopped rolling.
The biggest difference between the two is that Jerry had naturally the face of a naughty boy and perfected that role throughout his career. Jim has the face and physique of an actor who could play any role, comedy (of course), action, drama, ... Because, he started his career (very successfully) in comedy, directors failed to fully explore his talent in other areas with a few exceptions, such as The Truman Show. Had I been a director, I would’ve asked him to play a Western movie, his face reminds me of Giuliano Gemma when he was young ... !
truman show, man on the moon, 23, phillip morris, eternal sunshine, dark crimes...the directors have not failed to explore his talent...his whole career is exploration
As a child, I met Jerry at Brown's Hotel in my home town, Liberty, NY. He used to perform there regularly. I didn't care for him in his later years when he was known to make homophobic remarks.
I know this comment was written 6 months ago but the character is from At War with the Army (I don’t remember the name). In the mentioned scene Jerry was in drag and honestly he looked weirdly hot
I dont remember watching him as a child. I saw The Nutty Professor later. But I've enjoyed watching him recently. The first comedy I remember enjoying was Mad Magazine and The 1968 Show.
If it weren't for Jerry Lewis we might've never had Jim Carrey. Anyway, what brought me here is that I just learned that Gilbert Gottfried died. First Jerry Lewis then Bob Saget and now Gilbert Gottfried, this is really sad.
In real life, after nearly 2 decades as Hollywood royalty Jerry's ego couldn't handle the decline of his stardom. He treated everyone like s**t and wound up a loanly bitter man.
@@CC-xi5mzthats the problem. It's always what people read. Research and you'll be surprised. Jerry was a very kind and generous person. Did he get an ego? Sure he did. He earned that ego. That man worked tirelessly for himself and especially for Dean Martin. And he blamed himself for the breakup while giving Dean all the credit. I was one of the ones who believed the nonsense but I always liked him and never understood Jerry. That's when I started researching and found the truth for myself. Jerry was wonderful!!
I saw Jerry Lewis filming at Sea World when I was a teenager.....he was swearing at everyone and was one of the rudest people "famous" person I"ve ever seen.
We will all miss Jerry. He was one in a zillion!
Yea such a good actor
He was a wanker and moody piece of shit
I love Jim Carrey!!

Yea that was funny as hell. Jerry laughed his ass off. Lol
When was this interview
Carrey's idol for sure.
Las actuaciones de Jim Carrey siempre me hacian recordar a Jerry Lewis e incluso se parecen algo cuando eran jovenes.
a mi igual
Very good tribute
I totally get it Jim Carrey., Jerry Lewis was the greatest ! He was hilarious ! Thank you for acknowledging him.

Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind also. But I like it though, that he's quite funny in almost every role he plays. 🙂

This gave me a huge smile.
Quoting "At War With the Army," a fabulously obscure reference.
In my opinion.....
I think Eddie Murphy is hilarious, but I'd love to see Jim Carrey perform as "The Nutty Professor".
Jim was right about Brando and Lewis. Both had a very dark comedic side to them
Good ole Jerry lewis
As a child, I met Jerry at Brown's Hotel in my home town, Liberty, NY. He used to perform there regularly. I didn't care for him in his later years when he was known to make homophobic remarks.
Thank you Jim Carrey for being your own man and saying exactly how you feel. Jerry Lewis was
H I L A R I O U S !!!!
What character was Jim referencing when impersonating Jerry?
I know this comment was written 6 months ago but the character is from At War with the Army (I don’t remember the name). In the mentioned scene Jerry was in drag and honestly he looked weirdly hot
Jim’s idol for sure u can tell he had a connection wit jerry
Touching

If there were no Jerry Lewis, then Jim Carrey would be the 1st Jerry Lewis (so to speak).
@michaelelliot1212: Nope. He would be nothing like you have seen if him. He picked up a lot of his comedic schtick from Jerry Lewis.
1:01 JAYPEEISM ........!!!!!!

Great talent???!! YES Incredible human being???!!! I think not!
Unnecessary comment I think yes
Very accurate comment from what I’ve read about him.
Who cares. Why do I care. Never met him. Also raised millions for his cause. Now get bent

Yeah, you sure do think not

You get that on thé Big jobs.
I believe you! He’s a wanker! I have watched many of his interviews...even back when he was young he was arrogant
I don't know why but I always had the impression that he was exactly this type of person (rude and arrogant).
He also was in mayor pains and too many pain killer's pills
He looks slightly like him too
jerry lewis is the vice president of usa in 1985.
Jim carrey’s life is only an impression of Jerry Lewis
Plus all his non comedy movies
@@mamiluisamia king of comedy?
A good comedian, yes.
A good actor , yes.
A genius??? Ah ah hahaha
I get a kick out of Hollywood Stars
calling each other geniuses.
Rediculous
I mean he was a genius in comedy. It's ridiculous that you comment on a video that it seems you don't like
@@finderkeeperrrsCharlie Chaplin was a genius
You spelled ridiculous wrong, genius.
Tough to watch a Lewis movie; just whack going a bit beyond.
Jerry was a jerk to MANY people and I hated his movies…I just didn’t see it I guess.
Why do we listen to actors on their opinions who cares what they think! Bla Bla Bla…
And why do you watch the video or comment on this video. If you have a problem with it
I honestly question his judgement. Who cares if you think Jerry was funny. He was a revolting human being
And? Why comment. He was funny
@@finderkeeperrrs humor is subjective
@@steveg2448 yep but he's still funny
@@finderkeeperrrs too you he is. I think he is an idiot who is not funny. You can have your own opinion.
And so I understand that ,but I love is movie and is art .
