AceShowbiz - One of late comedy legend Jerry Lewis' final interviews will air as part of Jerry Seinfeld's quirky Netflix show "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee".
Lewis taped an episode for the 10th season of the show, which hits Netflix on Friday, July 6.
Seinfeld picked the beloved comic up and took him for breakfast at the Omelet House in Las Vegas, where Lewis skipped the coffee and ordered eggs and bacon, while talking about his life in comedy.
During the two comedy stars' chat, Lewis called over a waitress and asked her name. When she replied, "Valerie", the sharp-witted legend quipped, "Valerie? That was my father's name!"
Lewis died in August, 2017, shortly after the episode was taped.
Following his death, Seinfeld posted a tribute on Instagram, writing: "As I've said many times, if you don't get Jerry Lewis, you don't understand comedy. Spending an afternoon with him a couple months ago in Vegas for Comedians in Cars was a comedy life moment for me."
The new season of Seinfeld's show also features appearances by Ellen DeGeneres, Dave Chappelle, Alec Baldwin, and Zach Galifianakis.
