Watch the relentlessly awkward 7-minute Jerry Lewis interview even the interviewer admitted was a 'trainwreck'

He gives them literally nothing

90-year-old actor, comedian and singer Jerry Lewis has zero time for your sh*t, or at least The Hollywood Reporter’s.

He sat down for an interview with them this week as part of a series of 10 interviews the publication did with nonagenarians still working in the entertainment industry.

“Nine of the interviews went great,” interviewer Andy Lewis explained. “One was a trainwreck.”

Clearly trying to give the shortest answers possible, Jerry Lewis’ replies include:

Has he ever thought about retiring? "Why."

There was never a moment? "Why."

How does he maintain attendance at his shows? ”You tell 'em you're playing there, and they show up.”

The interviewer said that Lewis complained about the amount of equipment in the house and wasn’t happy with the way the shots were set up, leading him to build a “head of steam” and decide to “punish THR by doing the interview but being as uncooperative as possible.”

“As awkward and funny — and it's pretty funny — as the interview is," Andy Lewis concludes, "it weirdly proves the point of the entire package: 90-year-old Jerry Lewis is vital and completely engaged. He's just engaged — almost happy — in being difficult.”
