Rick Saphire's Comments

Actually, "The Jerry Lewis Show, LIVE!" ran 14 episodes. By the time the series ended, it was doing quite well in the ratings, and was very entertaining. But there was no turning back by the network. They bought The Jerry Lewis Theater from Jerry, renamed it The Hollywood Palace, and replaced Jerry's show with the long running variety series, The Hollywood Palace. My uncle, Ernie Glucksman, was the producer of the 1963 Jerry Lewis Show, and he and others were very unhappy at Jerry's insistence to have his hand in every part of the production. That included a desk from which Jerry could override the director in the booth in selecting camera shots.
