“Throughout the photo shoot, Lewis complained about the amount of equipment in the house, the number of assistants and how the shots were set up,” writes Andy Lewis, who conducted the interview. “By the time we sat down for the interview about an hour later, Lewis had worked up a full head of steam, and it seemed like he was punishing THR by doing the interview but being as uncooperative as possible,” he added of the 90-year-old.

“As awkward and funny — and it’s pretty funny — as the interview is, it weirdly proves the point of the entire package: 90-year-old Jerry Lewis is vital and completely engaged,” Lewis concludes. “He’s just engaged — almost happily so — in being difficult.”

Celebrities have since taken to Twitter to share their reactions, and they’re all undeniably on point.

“This video is the single most important thing to happen to comedy in at least a decade,” Josh Gad tweeted. “The level of disillusioned anger, dismissal, and flat out 90 year old disgust on display is heroic.” “I’ve watched this twice and winding up for number three. Best ever,” Howard Stern also wrote.
