Excerpt from Peter Bogdanovich’s Who the Hell’s in It: Conversations with Hollywood’s Legendary Actors<\/a>\"\"<\/i>:<\/p>\n

Peter Bogdonavich writes:<\/p>\n

Recently I saw nearly all twenty-eight of their Colgate Comedy Hours<\/i> (soon to be released on DVD), and a lot of the stuff is still fall-down-on-the-floor hilarious. Usually, it’s Lewis who ad-libs a line or some piece of comic business that makes Martin laugh, which in turn often causes Jerry to fall apart, too; he always got a big kick out of breaking up Dean These moments are not only infectiously funny, they sparkle with a delightfully unfettered sense of loving camaraderie and joy. When I mentioned this to Jerry, he said quietly, “Yeah, if you could bottle that, you could change the world.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
