Happy Father's Day Danny Lewis.....from Son, Jerry!

Dean Martin introduces his partner Jerry Lewis' father Danny Lewis for his performance on the Colgate Comedy Hour, 3/23/52
 

Jerry disinherited his sons from his first marriage. He was a lousy, mean, nasty father. Sorry to bubble burst but that's the truth about Jerry Lewis. Everyone knew these stories for years.
