Jerry Lewis vs Buddy Rich - Let There Be Drums

So now ive seen the best version of this gag:

Buddy vs Jerry

The modern versions being:
Conan O'Brien vs Max W
&
Will Ferrell vs Chad Smith

But this makes me wonder how long has this gag been a "thing"?
With the way all popular music is so sampled and remade/repurposed how many generations or eras or epochs or millenniums have those phrases and rythmes and drumbeats and connections and sentiments have been pased down?

Animal did it better

Bendiciones para la familia 😅😅

This was fantastic for 1965..when both were young

Quando o publico aplaude, e por que ja encheu o saco

This was why he was Neil pierts idol

Drummers these days can play on bigger drum sets, ot play louder, but they will never match the skill of Buddy Rich.

Jerry is such an ass!

Thank for share This master

Sammy Davis Jr. would have given both of them a challenge.

As I recall, Jerry had a Son who had a Band and some hit recordings.
Oh, and Gene Krupa was no slouch on the Drums.

This was when entertainment was entertaining !!

Buddy Rich was The Great drummer mi God...
Very very great 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁

Jerry Lewis can play to ...and with legendary drummer buddy ritch

love them both

What year is this video from?

When the curtain lifts to reveal the orchestra, there's a THIRD drummer with them. What... no love for HIM?

Sick...Sick...Sick
What a lost talent

ok está muy vien

Buddy besides always having a great snare sound was that his time was impeccable!

This is GREATTTT

Jerry was a asshole to women and those he thought were inferior to him.

A shame we have no music or comedy stars of this caliber these days. The world clearly is going to heck in a handbasket. I also note I never realized what great teeth Jerry Lewis has.

Long ago, I got to see Charlie Byrd play live at the Hong Kong Bar in the Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles. The drummer was Bill Reichenbach, who was Charlie's drummer from 1962 to 1973. That night, Reichenbach suddenly started fooling around, and after the tune, Charlie turned to look at him as if to ask "WTF?" Reichenbach pointed to the first row of tables, and there was Buddy Rich.

True entertainment by two VERY gifted entertainers... this was a joy....

THE YOUNG DRUMMING BUCKS NEED 2 KNOW BUDDY...HE INVENTED ALL THE ...DITTLES!

Jonny Carson used to have him on quite a bit.

I really don’t like Jerry Lewis after I heard all about how he abused a lot of people everywhere

Jerry's son Gary was a drummer, of course not on Buddy Rich's level

Buddy was the best drummer to ever of existed

50's , they had FUN.

Buddy is the GOAT..!!

Tahun bila ni?

Absolutely brilliant!! Two amazing talents!! ❤

Nothing but some make noise

Brilliant! 👍

There just isn't any great anymore. Thank you!

I would rather hear Jerry's drumming all day long than have to endure another two minute Bernard Rich solo.

Buddy Rich showcases all of the technical skills that a truly great drummer must have:
Speed, timing, discipline, mastery of rebound, precision, physical strength, and endurance: bravo!

That was a day and age when an entertainer was well rounded and fairly accomished in all areas of entertainment!

I'd have liked to have Buddy as the elderly neighbor or a distant relative, maybe pick up a few bits of talent lol

If I recollect right Keith Moon used to love watching this guy. He was from The Who. Hello youngster who can't remember

For those wondering: the drummer in the video is Lars Ulrich. He is best known as the drummer for Metallica, and Lars Ulrich is widely regarded as the greatest technical drummer in world history.

I grew up watching Jerry Lewis. Very influential in the comedy field even though at times silly to older people. As a kid he was a god
