My mom also had the stories where everyone that worked on him…

My dad worked for Jerry Lewis for many years when I was a kid. We have a lot of stories, as you can guess. A number of them are about his generosity, often anonymous, often families in Harlem (my dad was the occasional bagman on those). Just a side that we saw, that doesn’t get into these things.

Can they please please pretty please please give Michelle Obama a cameo?

You’re so cute!
