Merv Griffin introduces
Our Little Richie Pryor
who does a stunning
jazz mime
with an unseen orchestra
Richard sits at the desk
with Merv, alongside
the Everly Brothers
And then Richard gets to meet
the man he calls
The God of Comedy
Jerry Lewis proves
that title is,
at best,
a very slight exaggeration
Richard Pryor
tells a great story
about how his father
introduced him
to the wacky world
of Jerry Lewis
When a hot babe
named Dagmar
sits next to Richard,
he needs water
to cool himself off
And becomes the focal point
of the Water Follies
Then the stage becomes
a geyser of gargantuan
slapstick
Wet and wonderful
insanity ensues
but feel free
to disagree
after watching
at least
the first fifteen
and the last twelve
minutes
of this video

You can go gaga with your google-search
as a result of this page but
there were statements made
challenging the deification
of Jerry Lewis
—Many years after August 1, 1966—
Johnny Carson repeatedly said
Richard Pryor is the
funniest man
in America
Such statements were,
at best,
a very slight exaggeration
