He was seated in a wheelchair and Larry King was standing behind him. Photo flashes were going off non-stop. The press were calling out "Hey Jer! Hey Jerry look over here! Hey Jerry!" Mr. Lewis was pulling faces, lolling his tongue out, pointing to the press, kissing and licking a Box Set DVD package of "The Nutty Professor" that he was holding in his hands. It was anything but funny. It was cringingly sad and pathetic. He was a 90 something old man in a wheelchair mugging for a group of the press who were egging him on in the mistaken belief, on his part, that what he was doing was funny. It hurt to watch. Jerry didn't know better. The press corps did.JLMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05954738561175438244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224037410105354251.post-86104856225681274312017-08-22T03:58:31.614-07:002017-08-22T03:58:31.614-07:00Hello David,
