Jerry Lewis was a 20th century comedian.
In 2365, while attempting to learn more about humor, Data was introduced to a comedian referred to as "The Comic". One of the many bits the Comic performed, and encouraged Data to perform along with him, was a classic slapstick humor bit often performed by and associated with Jerry Lewis. This bit, according to the Comic, "brought down the house at Teaneck." (TNG: "The Outrageous Okona")
