The Orleans Casino Hosts One-Night-Only Live Television Taping with "King of Comedy" Jerry Lewis

The Orleans Hotel and Casino announces An Evening with Jerry Lewis – Live from Las Vegas!, a one-night-only celebration at The Orleans Showroom, Sunday, November 18. The event will be filmed for a PBS television special premiering around Lewis’s 87th birthday in March 2013.

An Osmond Entertainment event, produced by Jimmy Osmond and George Paige, An Evening with Jerry Lewis – Live from Las Vegas! will feature Mr. Lewis himself, live on stage telling stories of his eight-decade career through narrative and musical performances, with video montages from his television and film appearances –including rare, never-before-seen clips from his personal and private vaults.

Still performing at the age of 86, he has appeared in more than 50 films, directed a dozen movies, had 13 television specials, three television series, an NBC radio show, recorded numerous albums, been the hero of a comic book series, authored four books, and made thousands of other appearances on TV, stage and in nightclubs all over the world.

Equally known for his commitment to philanthropy, Lewis has been the global face of the fight against muscular dystrophy for more than 60 years. During his time as national chairman of the Muscular Dystrophy Association, Lewis helped raise more than $2 billion for patient care and research.
