What was the name of the first ever tom and Jerry?

The names were not originally coined but the cartoon did come out during WW2. The Germans were known as 'Jerries' and English solders (at least in WW1) were called 'Tommies'. As Tom was never successful in pinning down Jerry, so in 1941 the English failed to totally rout the Germans - and so the war went on and on and on


Is ice hockey popular in France?

oh it is so not that popular ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Improved: Although France isn't really a prominent ice hockey country, they do play the sport, and have teams like most countries do. Fédération Francaise de Hockey sur Glace, or FFHG, is the ice hockey federation for France. Check it out here: http://www.hockeyfrance.com - Sorry its in French and I have not yet found a way to translate it to English. So, overall, Ice hockey isn't too popular in France, but it is played there! :)

Do guest on Jerry springer get paid?

Lets face it. On the Jerry Springer show a most of them are out of work actors. So they may get paid, all tho it is supposed to be real. Jerry Springer doesn't book the guest himself of he can pretend that it is real. Like Adam West on batman Jerry Springer plays it straight. So be good to your selves and each other.

Have French comedies been influenced by American comedies?

The French idolize and worship Jerry Lewis. So, their comedy might be a bit influenced by Jerry Lewis' schlap schtick, goofy routines... but is American comedy defined solely by Jerry Lewis' type of comedy? Makes one think, doesn't it...


Did Jerry Lewis steal money from ms?

Do you mean did he steal from MD? The short answer is probably he did steal but there is no direct evidence. My refrigerator light probably goes out when I shut the door but I have no direct evidence of that, either. Here is the indirect evidence: 1) Jerry Lewis is a raging narcissist. Narcissistic personality types naturally take advantage of situations whenever they can and shy away from situation where there is nothing in it for them. 2) Jerry Lewis is immoral and corrupt. How do you define immoral? Jerry Lewis has an out-of-wedlock adult female child who looks like Jerry Lewis in drag. You can see a video of her on YouTube mimicking the Jerry Lewis typewriter routine. Jerry Lewis denies this woman is his child. 3) Jerry Lewis is an Ashkenasi Jew. The Jews' most holy book is the Talmud, which makes it a virtual obligation to lie, cheat and steal. For more information look up select English translations of the Jewish Talmud. 4) After a telethon, Jerry Lewis came through airport security with a carry on bag. Lewis through a big fit over it being checked. When the bag was opened, it was found to be stuffed of currency. 5) Jerry Lewis openly admits he never donated his own money to Muscular Dystrophy. For a person so concerned for a particular cause, I also find this suspicious.

What is Jerry Lewis' best movie?

In my personal opinion, I think his best film is the original, The Nutty Professor (1963), also starring Stella Stevens. Jerry Lewis manages the transition from the nerdy Professor Julius Kelp to the suave and sophisticated Buddy Love, so well. There are some great gags in the movie.
