Yeah, and I am glad of that. LOLThere are high profile folk I think live one way in the lime light and another outside that. But I always thought Jerry was one of them. I never followed his life, but did like Martin and Lewis. Of the two I liked Jerry best, LOL.Of course I thought my man Cosby was one of those who was just down right good. I followed his life, watched his shows and admired him, NOW Imma thinking, maybe I was wrong.BUT, Jerry wasn’t
Can I go on record that I really didn’t think he was funny?Is there something wrong with me?He seemed more angry than funny to me.I can appreciate the money raised for MDA – and being angry at muscle diseases seems appropriate to me. But he wasn’t very funny at the telethon or his movies to me. Perhaps I am the only one________________
No, you’re not the only one. In his day, he was funny, I think. But his comedy became very dated. When he would go on a late night talk show and try to make one of those Jerry Lewis faces, it was cringe-worthy. It’s kind of like a singer, I suppose, that goes to a Hillsongs church and sings a solo of Just Build My Mansion Next Door Jesus. That song was no doubt a blessing to many in it’s time, but it now is hopelessly dated and theological understandings have developed beyond that, etc.I noted the same thing with Don Rickles. When he would be on a talk show, he would say things (things that today would get you branded as a racist) that were just pitiful, it seemed. But the hosts–most of whom have a special love for comedy–loved it, it seemed.

I guess ole Jerry just didn’t have the faith. It was his fault he died.
