Most of time, when you mention the name "Jerry Lewis", you think of him in any number of the roles he played in his dozens of classic comic movies or you think of him singing in a shaky vibrato as the host of the annual Labor Day Telethon to help "his kids" or being fanatically worshipped by millions of French people.
Face it, when most of us think of Jerry Lewis, we think of a harmless guy best known for making people laugh.
But could there be a darker, edgier side to the "Jerster" that we don't know about?
The legendary entertainer was at Las Vegas's McCarran Airport recently, getting ready to take a trip to Detroit. However, a quick baggage check revealed a gun inside his luggage.
So, does this mean that the "Nutty Professor" is really a closet gangsta about to bust a cap off in somebody's backside and become far more interesting than he's been in years?
Apparently not.
Although Lewis was cited for having a concealed, unloaded gun by the "Sin City" cops, it turns out that the "weapon" was just a prop gun for his act.
That won't get you much street cred in Detroit.
