Celebrating the 75-Year Anniversary of Martin & Lewis…

… with an All-New Short PSA Script… Martin & Lewis in “The Goofus!”

The First Script Written for Them in Over 65 Years!

Andrew Fumento AKA Andrew Bailey

July 25th marked the 75th anniversary of the teaming of Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis in 1946 (sadly, it also marked the 65th anniversary of their break up)!

Martin & Lewis were the first television comedians. They were the Beatles of their time. In their 10-year teaming, they starred on TV, and made 16 theatrical movies.

My almost-10-year-old son, George “Georgie” Bailey & I are huge fans of Martin & Lewis. After we watched all of their movies, we wanted more.

Thus, in honor of Mr. Martin, Mr. Lewis and their families — and, as importantly, to give my son more of Martin & Lewis (while incorporating them into a Public Service Announcement), I wrote this loving short tribute PSA script… Martin & Lewis in “The Goofus!”
