The above ticket isn't even from this show, but it looks nice and it has the same name. Jerry Lewis had been a huge hit filling in as host of The Tonight Show between the period of Jack Paar leaving and Johnny Carson taking over. Because of this, the network execs thought he'd be a natural for his own show. They were wrong. The Jerry Lewis Show lasted about three months on ABC. It was a live two hour talk show. Check out this rare treat with the soon to be Muhammad Ali (our most frequent guest on Classic Television Showbiz).Tuesday, June 26, 2007
