Jerry Lewis at Popcorn Taxi (September 2009)

A lot of fun. The guy who asked the questions was very good, supportive and encouraging. There was so much affection for Lewis you could feel it. Lewis showed his age, but he was still Jerry Lewis. He’d nod off, forget questions, be unable to hear, start telling stories and forget how they started, tell corny jokes… but he didn’t want to leave. Occasionally he woke up and told a funny joke. It was like a family dinner if your grandad was Jerry Lewis. I asked him a question – “what films do you like to watch at home, comedies or dramas” but he misheard and gave an answer about comedy and drama combined. Lewis was tired but he sure as hell didn’t want to leave.
