Legendary actor, comedian and philanthropist Jerry Lewis has passed away at the age of 91.

He was known for slapstick comedy and his annual Muscular Dystrophy Association telethons, which raised millions of dollars.

NewsChannel 5 took part in the annual Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon for years.

We found video from the early 90's in our archives showing preparations for the telethon.

Longtime NewsChannel 5 anchor Chris Clark worked with Jerry many times over the years.

He stopped by the station to share some memories with us. Hear his full interview about Jerry above.
