Current Obssesion: Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis

Yup. Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis. My mom introduced me to them last month. She said she had grown up with their movies. I'm not sure I've had an obsession like this since my dad introduced me to The Monkees. I've watched as much of The Colgate Comedy Hour as much as I could. (They starred in The Colgate Comedy Hour, a live variety television show, from 1950-1955.) My oldest brother loves it as well. Him being eight, it's perfectly hilarious. I get a kick when Jerry starts ad-libbing his way through skits and Dean and him both try to hide their laughter. I laugh just thinking about it. Most people know Dean as the Italian crooner, but boy, when Jerry and him are together they can make a whole room roar.

One of my favorite skits is when Dean Martin is a photographer and Jerry Lewis is a window washer. It has some of the funniest ad-libbing I've come across on the show. You have to really listen to what they're saying in between their lines. Here is part one of two:



After The Colgate Comedy Hour they both went on to do their own movies. My favorite Jerry Lewis movie I've seen so far is Cinderfella. Seriously cute ending.
