More Classic Camera Fun…Jerry Lewis Takes Over…1952
When Jerry walks toward the camera and looks in the lens, you just know something else is about to happen…and it does, just a few seconds later when he takes over the RCA TK30.
This is from the same theater that NBC used for the Hollywood broadcasts of ‘The Colgate Comedy Hour’…The El Capitan Theater on Vine Street. The event was the 1952 Olympic Telethon to raise money for the teams to travel. It was hosted by Hope and Crosby, BUT…Bing would not appear on stage with Lewis! He was afraid Jerry would grab or dislodge his hair piece! Enjoy and share! -Bobby Ellerbee
Did this theater later become The Hollywood Palace ?
Most of the people don’t know, but this started a feud between Lewis and Crosby.
