"I've decided to appoint Sanjay Gupta as my Surgeon General." "Sanjay Gupta! The TV doctor?!" "Uh huh." "And who's Vice President? Jerry Lewis?" "..." "And I suppose Jane Wyman is the First Lady!" "Not exactly." "And Jack Benny is Secretary of the Treasury!" "Doc, you've gotta listen to me." "I've had enough practical jokes for one evening. Good night, Future Boy!"

I avoid the Mini-Me beat like a kerchief avoids the nose, but a comment here, among the rubble of Gaza, about a piece of gabble by this smirking success story hit a nerve. Seems I retain some live ones...

You should've known this would've been coming after the Jerry Lewis comic! In this book, the standard Bob Hope character from the movies (girl-crazy, greedy and cowardly) was used for his comics counterpart... and there's plenty of Oksner babes (and babes drawn by other artists, too!). Issue 10! Issue 20! Issue 30! Issue 40! Issue 50 -- You see what I mean as far as Bob's character is concerned? Issue...

One of Jersey's greatest productions, Jerome Levitch was born in Newark, March 16, 1926. The world knows him as Jerry Lewis, comedian, actor, film producer, writer and director and singer. Baristanet guest writer Carole Walters, of Bloomfield, has been a long-time Jerry watcher, writing features for publications like The Village Voice. Recently, she caught the King in a one-on-one interview/show with...

Highly Recommended The Product: Love him or loathe him, but Jerry Lewis has made one great film amongst his often uneven creative output. Riffing on the classic horror tale Dr. Jeykll and Mr. Hyde , his reimagining offered up mild mannered college professor Julius Kelp and his chemically induced alter ego Buddy Love. It represented the best the former nightclub comedian turned filmmaker had to offer....

This. Yeah, just two years after Clint Eastwood was awarded as a "humanitarian" at the Oscars, we're going to have Jerry Lewis get a "humanitarian" award too? While it would be nice to see the award quietly rescinded, or the presentation streamlined out of the over-long broadcast, it's most likely going to happen... Read the Anti-Telethon blogswarm from 2007 to see why that's protest-worthy.

Chrisitan Toto notes a seeming contradiction in Hollywood (I know, which one?). Jerry Lewis is to be honored with an honorary Oscar from the Academy for his tireless work over 42 years raising awareness and more importantly money for Muscular Dystrophy research. Toto contrasts the reaction in some circles to Lewis with the reaction Roman [...]

Like a lot of you, I'm surprised to hear that Jerry Lewis will be receiving the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award at the Academy Awards ceremony on February 22. The surprising thing about this, of course, is that he didn't get...

The fine folks who attended the 2003 Academy Awards ceremony had no problem giving accused child molester Roman Polanksi a standing O when he won the Best Director Oscar for “The Pianist.” But it looks like Jerry Lewis could get shunned - or even disinvited - from this year’s ceremony because he’s used the “F” word [...]

I hear that the Academy Of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences has chosen someone "way outside the box" to host the Oscars on February 22nd. And the person is not a TV personality or stand-up comedian. In fact, I've learned that this year's Academy Awards won't have the traditional segment of joke-telling near the start of the broadcast. [...]
