Jerry Lewis is timelessI don't know what happened with Jerry Seinfeld. After his show went off the air, he dropped off the face of the earth for about ten years. When he came back I just scratched my head and said....I used to think that was funny?
I think that's a problem with ALL comedians. They are only funny in their own time.
For instance, Mel Brooks was freakin' hilarious in the 1970's and even into the 1980's.
By the 1990's, his schtick was getting stale.
And I think that was the case with most comedians. They have a shorter lifespan than even actresses. For instance, the Marx Brothers were the big thing in the 1930's, but they were old by the 1940's. Abbot and Costello were big in the 1940's, but they were old by the 1950's.
Those straws up the nose never gets old
