TREASURE!!! Must See! Jerry Lewis…The Cameraman

June 26, 1956, The Today Show is live at the Sands Hotel’s 500 Club in Atlantic City. Jerry Lewis takes over a TK30 at around the 44:30 mark as Dean Martin sings. Although his camera work is clownish, don’t be fooled…he knows exactly what to do. Notice the RCA Electrazoom lens.

This is a true time capsule of the day, complete with news, weather and lots of entertaining guests. Garroway is on vacation and Fay Emerson is the guest host with Today regulars Jack Lescoulie and Frank Blair. Thanks to João Antonio Franz for sharing this link.

    How soon after this did they end the partnership?

    The production responsibility of “Today” was not yet turned over to NBC’s news department, so it was more of an entertainment show then than it is now, never mind the modern “Today” staple of outdoor concerts with big-name acts on the plaza next to 30 Rock.
