Message: [QUOTE="JordyG, post: 2302976, member: 6819"] They say a comic says funny things and that a comedian says things funny. Comedians also do things funny. Jerry was a comedian whose innovations in the movie industry were as important as his ranking in the pantheon of comedians. Jerry always admitted that he was only funny because the man standing next to him made him so. Nevertheless, before him comedians pretty much either said or did things funny. Usually not both. Today in a world rife with a never ending slew of comics and comedy clubs, to me he still stands out. For 40 years (!) he was a staple on TV, my entire childhood, giving of himself on those MD telethons. The guy was a whirlwind in his youth. RIP Jerry, the last King Of Comedy. [/QUOTE]
