Jerry Lewis, the rubber-faced, squeaky-voiced comedy legend who starred in movies and musicals and also was known for his unflagging work on behalf of the Muscular Dystrophy Association, died on Sunday, his publicist confirmed. He was 91 years old.

Lewis' publicist confirmed the news to The Associated Press. The Las Vegas Review-Journal columnist John Katsilometes first reported Lewis' death.

Lewis "passed peacefully at home this morning of natural causes at the age of 91 with his loving family by his side," manager Mark Rozzano said.

Wonder if we'll now get to see his infamous, unreleased film: The Day the Clown Cried.

That was great.

Utter contempt for some kid who didn't know what the fuck he was talking about coming in to interview a legend with a bunch of stupid questions.

Didn't even realize he came back to life.

RIP Mr Lewis, thanks for all the laughs and I loved watching the telethon all night with my parents.

May the Rat Pack live on and crack jokes for eternity.

MANDELA EFFECT IN ACTION: I would swear to God I had heard he died several years ago.

Creepy.
