One of the best meals I ever had was with you at your restaurant in Vegas
Thank you for your generosity and life of laughs

My mentor & friend Jerry Lewis has passed away. A visionary. A pioneer in all forms of entertainment. A charitable human. A father.

Damn. Two comedic legends gone in less than 24 hours. Last night, Dick Gregory, 84. Today, Jerry Lewis, 91. That's generations of laughter.

Dick Gregory and Jerry Lewis were two of the funniest, most legendary and prolific entertainers of our generation and I bow to their genius.

I was trying to think of something funny to say about Jerry Lewis' death but I can't because I'm a girl!
