The Colgate Comedy Hour had a successful run from 1950 to 1955, in which a number of comedy legends rotated as hosts of the show, but Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis easily held on firmly as the highly favored and much anticip... more »ated comedic duo - by pairing the melodious sounds of Martin with the hilarious antics of Lewis.

"Get the other volume - The Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis Collection. This current "Still Laughing" cuts out all the songs, the quality is poorer, and of all incredibly stupid things to do, the morons who put this out have the title of the collection on the bottom right-hand of the screen, large, ALL THROUGH THE DVDs. Yes, it is VERY distracting.
