Jerry Lewis and The Laughing Cameraman…1967
From NBC Burbank, here’s a great bit with Jerry singing “Witchcraft” and a professional laugher behind a crane mounted TK41. There is another version of this with the TK41 on a pedestal done on another episode of his NBC show. If anyone has a link to that, please share it with us. Thank you and enjoy. -Bobby Ellerbee
Classic
The camera person is a comedian and actor named Joey Faye.He was in many of Lewis’s films and in lots of Sinatra’s movies , like The Tender Trap.
The theme song is the same one that Jerry used for the telethon.
Jerry was no Frank Sinatra when it came to singing.
I found only this kinescope version :/ Start at 1m43s:

Last year, DC Video posted a clip of The Jerry Lewis Show from 1960 (a very early color videotape), with the same sketch, with the same man, but with another camera. They removed the clip shortly after, but I download it just as they posted (luck), but I can’t find :'(
His stuff just gets funnier and funnier.
