Remembering Jerry Lewis


In the morning, my Sunday seemed pretty wide open. And then the news broke that Jerry Lewis had died at the age of 91.

For Rolling Stone, I wrote an obituary/tribute. But I also went deep on The King of Comedy, and what Lewis brings to that dark comedy. And then over at MEL, I talked about the phenomenon of Martin and Lewis, and how that duo were a perfect sibling relationship.

So, yes, I spent a lot of time yesterday thinking about Mr. Lewis.
