- Barson interviewed scores of Hollywood A-listers for the two-hour project, including Jerry Seinfeld, Billy Crystal, Quentin Tarantino, Eddie Murphy, Carol Burnett, Steven Spielberg and Alec Baldwin, among others, with each offering a different take on Lewis.
- There’s a little of Jerry Lewis in everyone. The general consensus is that of today’s comics, the ones who come closest to Lewis are Jim Carrey, Robin Williams and Billy Crystal, but you’d be hard-pressed to find a comic who doesn’t have traces of the legend.
- Lewis’ legacy. On the set, Barson says Lewis would typically refer to his characters as “The Kid” or “The Idiot” but will leave a legacy that goes far beyond the iconic on-screen personas.
- Method was three and a half years in the making. “When I first pitched this in 2004, Jerry said it has to be about chemistry,” Barson recalls, noting Lewis was very candid during production, often inventing new routines for the crew.
