I remember once when Johnny was on vacation (which was often) and Jerry Lewis was the guest host. They bring out Dean Martin, total suprise for Lewis as they were not on the best of terms. The meeting was short and cordial. When Martin left Lewis said "I'll never work with that drunk again", where as Ed McMahon responded "Why not? Your working with this one" (meaning himself and the jokes on the show about his ability to to drink others under the table.) A great man, a great warrior, a great American. We will miss him.
