I saw Jerry Lewis come on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson in 1984 (on the you tube with "m" in front of it). Mr. Lewis danced and fell -- or almost fell -- and his dancing was somewhat like Michael Jackson's moonwalk -- his shoes sliding as if he can't stop them, but of course it's all choreographed -- quite an active, coordinated comic -- anything to entertain...
He would have been 58 years old that year, I think. He talked about his new heart-healthy diet: Johnny Carson asked him, "What did you have to give up?"
Answer: "Toast and coffee in the morning."
"What do you eat instead of that?"
Jerry Lewis answered, "Salad.
And then later on in the day I have some chicken."
Carson says, "That's all?"
He says, Yes, and he never felt better.
----------------- Google says he'd have cut calories even a little further if he had replaced the chicken with turkey.
