Lewis says that, although he only did 13 weeks of this spectacular flop, he still got the full amount of his 5 year contract: $40 million.
He also says that this fact is a Guiness World Record: Most money paid to a performer for the shortest period of time.
I doubt any of that is true and can find no reference to it at all.
Anyone else know?

ABC paid him off with 3.5 million dollars in 1964 funds.
