Jerry Lewis vs. Bing Crosby

In the news scoop of the century (this one AND the last), I must report that Jerry Lewis and Bing Crosby can be... on occasion... somewhat prickly.  (At least Bing was able to come across fatherly on-camera).  I had no idea there was a feud between the two, but as the well-made video shows, there was.  I have to take Bing's side in this one.  Frankly, I would take Bing's toupee's side in this one, too (although it was an open-secret... people often joked about his hair-loss on-the-air).  Note... the photo to the left looks to be from well after the 1952 telethon.  Maybe they made up and Jerry forgot?  Maybe they made up after the "eight years at Paramount"?  Maybe someone secretly invented Photoshop in the mid-60s and didn't tell anyone?  Jerks.
