JERRY VISITES was a 30-minute interview news program hosted by celebrated California newscaster, Jerry Dunphy. The series, which ran from 1971-1973, found Dunphy interviewing a wide spectrum of celebrities ranging from pop stars to actors.
Jerry Dunphy interviews Jerry Lewis on location from his home in Bel Air California, formerly owned by Louis B. Mayer.
Dunphy states, prior to the interview that Jerry Lewis, at 44 years of age, has already made 40 money making motion pictures and has given to charity 6 million dollars of his own money, and has raised 44 million dollars for Muscular Dystrophy.
NOTE: An interesting contradiction related to this series' broadcasting years, which usually confirms 1971-1973 as the series run. However, this particular broadcast is labeled August 30, 1970 according to the liner notes on the master 1/4" audio tape box.

October 1, 1962-May 22, 1992. Johnny Carson, host of NBC's network late-night "Tonight Show" reigned for 30 unprecedented years...five times the combined tenure of Steve Allen, and Jack Paar. Carson was impervious to competition, including efforts to dethrone him by Les Crane, Joey Bishop, Merv Griffin, Dick Cavett, Jack Paar, Pat Sajak, Joan Rivers, and Arsenio Hall. Sadly, very few complete "Tonight Show" broadcasts survive during Johnny Carson's first ten years of broadcasting. Around 1965, through the early 1970's, oldest tapes were first erased systematically by orders from myopic NBC executives, to be recycled for purposes of saving money. Ironically, in many cases, these older master tapes were too brittle, and portended probable drop-outs for re-use after being erased. Subsequently blank after being erased, these older questionable master 2" Quad tapes were either sparingly used or never used again for recording new programming and eventually were discarded. Saving thousands of dollars at the time (wiping master tapes for potential re-use) resulted in losing millions of dollars by NBC in today's marketplace, and more importantly wiping thousands of historic TONIGHT SHOW broadcasts, which contain precious personal anecdotes from political, show business, and sports icons of the past.
