EXCLUSIVE: Jerry Lewis Says His Chemistry With Dean Martin Will Never Be Replicated

Comedy icon Jerry Lewis says his special relationship with Dean Martin, and the specific time in history when they achieved fame, means their comedic chemistry can never be duplicated.
In an exclusive interview with FOX411.com, Lewis, 84, said the commercial success he and Martin enjoyed was a direct result of storming the scene in post-war America.
“Dean and I teamed up in ’46, we were the answer to America’s need for laughter,” Lewis said at the Friar’s Club in New York City, where he was being honored with a lifetime achievement award. “Had it been another time [in history], I don’t know what would have happened. But because of the timing, I said to him the first night that we got things happening ... that we have lightning in a bottle.”
Despite reports to the contrary, Lewis said he and Martin supported each other, even after they parted ways in 1956.
“He was so proud when I made it, “ Lewis said.
And while Lewis praised Martin, Oscar-winner Quentin Tarantino offered praise for Lewis’ career, which has spanned six decades.
“Jerry Lewis has always dealt with genre in his stuff,” Tarantino told FOX411.com when we asked him how Lewis has inspired his own work. “And not necessarily spoofs, taking a set genre and not necessarily spoofing it, but going his own way with it. That’s just another description of what I do, he’s just done it his way.”

You just gotta respect Ol' Jer for speakin' from the heart about his undying love and admiration for his TRUE pallie, Dean.
Hey pallie, Danny man, you are certainly spot on with your Dino-patter...as a regular reader of ilovedinomartin you know that I often had not shown the respect to Mr. Lewis that I obviously have for our Dino...but through his Dino-bio, "Dean and Me: A Love Story" and through comments such as this on this great vid clip, indeed, as you sez, "You just gotta respect Ol' Jer for speakin' from the heart about his undying love and admiration for his TRUE pallie, Dean."
Danny loves have you hangin' 'round ilovedinomartin and loves knowin' that you too, are a "TRUE pallie" of our beloved Dino! All my best dude!
Excellent find!
I do have to say this, though: Jerry hasn't aged as well as our Dino did.
Hey pallie, thanks for the Dino-appreciato Miss AOW, indeed I was so pleased to find this interview with Mr. Lewis, and indeed Lewis has not aged as well as our Dino...but then he is 7 years older then our great man ever got in years....
