September 21, 1963 - December 21, 1963. Jerry Lewis hosted an unprecedented two-hour live variety - talk show, signing a five-year deal for 35 million dollars in 1963 with ABC Television. A two-hour live variety show proved to be more than even Jerry Lewis could handle. The series proved to be an enormous failure. In three months the show was off the air.
Jerry's guests are Ethel Merman, Jonathan Winters, Phil Silvers, Sid Caesar who does a comic routine, and Peter Falk, a few of the cast members of Stanley Kramer's blockbuster comedy motion picture, "Its a Mad, Mad, Mad, World" which premieres in two weeks at the new Cinerama theater in Hollywood.
There are many reminisces and anecdotes expressed about Jerry related to prior relationships with him when he was starting out in show business, and about his father Danny Lewis.
A brylcreem hair commercials is included.
