Your_Lion Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 That was PAINFUL! They should have given him some of his Nutty Professor serum, then interviewed him. I didn't even know he was still working 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 He's old and not well. I am sure he is on medications that affect him, or has been too long on other medications that did affect him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presto-digitation Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Old people often get bitter and ugly, but I suppose they've earned it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 He's old and angry and a bit pissed that all his money can't really help him anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 This is just a guess but he also might be pissed that he's not as happy and healthy as the much older Kirk Douglas. Jerry is 90 and Kirk is 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 (edited) I think actually having watched it all now, he just didn't like that interviewer and his crew. He was deliberately obtuse and doing as little as possible, mocking the guy's laughter, and he even said at the end when asked did he have any stories "Not for this." They may have done something or said something when they were setting up that made Jerry pissed. In fact there's even a little clip at the beginning in the intro where he says "What are you people doing, what are you doing?"

It's quite possible Mr. Lewis felt he was wasting what time he has left on a meaningless interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaportrailer Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 (edited) I recently saw Jerry Lewis in "Slapstick of Another Kind", a terrible movie based very loosely on a Kurt Vonnegut Jr. novel. This sums it up nicely: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGRfN5Za7u4 Edited December 21, 2016 by vaportrailer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why so grumpy??? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3H_1P2nwogThat was kind of funny. The interviewer must have done something to make him mad before the interview. It's too bad he wasn't on David Letterman, I can just imagine how Dave would have handled it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
