*Shocker* - Jerry LEWIS saying something nice about anybody (Carol BURNETT)

Speaking ill of the dead, but in my defense without actually viewing his stuff all my life almost the only times I saw him he was bad-mouthing whomever and being bitter and self-aggrandizing. So I was shocked to stumble on this clip praising BURNETT to the heavens - AND Harvey KORMAN to boot! Plus, in his later years one of his only newsworthy appearances was a misogynist rant about women not being funny. So here's a tiny bit of redemption.

reads off a very long list of names from his career and he said glowing things about all of them. Especially (always especially) about Dean MARTIN, but with that little sniping edge.
