Martin and Lewis reunited on the telethon Comments
I believe it was 1957 when Martin and Lewis split up, so it was a 19-year gap before they met again! Too bad Frank Sinatra kind of ruined it with his needless interruptions. Still, it was a great moment in television history.
I remember seeing another part of this surprise reunion. (I think it was on Biography.) Jerry sincerely asks Dean, Why did we break up? That's the part that gets to me.
