Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler might be the most talented man I’ve ever worked with. He comes in, he’s cool as a cucumber, and then all of a sudden, as soon as the camera comes on, it was a dream. It was an absolute dream come true to spar and share the same airspace with a guy I’ve respected for a long, long time.
What defines greatness is when you hold all the records and what you mean to your fans, on and off the field, because that is who ranks you as the greatest receiver of all-time. The guy that holds all the records, the guy that has set the stage for all of us, you have to give it to Jerry Rice.
In the end we’re all Jerry Springer Show guests, really, we just haven’t been on the show.
You know, we – if, for example, Jerry Brown can withstand, you know, what will probably end up being $200 million of spending by his opponent and get elected governor of California, that will be a big victory in the nation’s largest state.
You’ve got to go out there and play the game the way it’s supposed to be played. Then you get people to like you and appreciate your work by just going out there and competing every down. Jerry Rice was looked at in that perspective. He went out there and was a hard-working guy. He was going to give it his all.
I’m no Jerry Seinfeld. I wasn’t raised with some backyard with a creek and trees and all that.
I tell you what: I bet Jerry Jones would not trade places with a 75-year black man in Chicago. I bet Joel Klatt would not trade places with a 30-year old black guy from Chicago or Watts. I bet he wouldn’t do that. You know why? It’s great to know that I’m white and a male in America.
I look at Seinfeld – he looks like he’s having fun. He’s just enjoying being Jerry Seinfeld, you know, on ‘Seinfeld.’
I’m a product of my surroundings. I grew up on Hank Williams Jr., Johnny Cash, Jerry Reed, and also Run-D.M.C., the Beastie Boys, the Fat Boys, and Biz Markie.
My best friend Jerry started a boat-washing business, and it was one of the most critical experiences of my life. I got to meet a lot of people who were entrepreneurs. My parents were schoolteachers, and I was now meeting people who owned companies. I realized that if this guy can do it, why can’t I?
Jerry often says that Slam Bradley was really the forerunner of Superman, because we turned it out with no restrictions, complete freedom to do what we wanted; the only problem was that we had a deadline.
Yes, there were piano bands and great rock pianists, from Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard to Keith Emerson, Rick Wakeman, and Elton John. But something about the electric guitar speaks of more than music – it epitomizes and gives voice to the rebellion, power, and sexuality of rock.
Jerry picked up the technique of visualizing the story as a movie scenario; and whenever he gave me a script, I would see it as a screenplay. That was the technique that Jerry used, and I just picked it up.
I grew up loving David Letterman and Pee-wee Herman, but as far as live performance comedy, all I knew were the Jerry Seinfeld-type comedians of the world, and that’s what I thought live performance comedy was all about.
I couldn’t do my show without spending 12 years on the streets of Humboldt Park. It made me a better interrogator. Still, if they had taken me out of my squad car and gave me a show, I would’ve been terrible. But on ‘Springer,’ the spotlight was on Jerry and I got to grow up within the show.
I was such a huge ‘Seinfeld’ fan, and I walked on the set, and I saw Kramer. I walked into Jerry’s apartment, and I was like, ‘Oh my God, this is Jerry’s apartment.’
Jerry Sloan was a guy that I always respected, but I thought he was mean. Like, he was a guy that was just no nonsense. When coach and I got closer during the Olympics, I said, ‘Coach, I always just thought you were this mean guy, but it was really nice to get to know you and your family.’
I can tell you beyond any doubt, that my lady is able to control herself and stick to her values regardless of circumstance. Just as surely, she can say the same about me (Ben & Jerry’s benders notwithstanding).
My friend Jerry Falwell was the one who said it, and he was a guest on my show, and it’s hard to take the blame for everybody who shows up on your show.
My weakness in life is two men who seduce me all the time – named Ben & Jerry.
The greatest rewards of Jerry Ford’s time were reserved for his fellow Americans and the nation he loved.
I hope people understand that Jerry Tarkanian gave young black males a chance to better themselves and the lives of their families when no one else would. The way Coach talked to me, he spoke my language. I needed that type of voice in my life.
Jerry Seinfeld made a puddle, I stepped in it, and wonderful things happened.
Jerry Rice, he’s one of the best to ever do it.
Jerry and I always felt that the character was enjoying himself. He was having fun: he wasn’t taking himself seriously. It was always a lark for him, as you can see in my early drawings.
Once Joe Paterno learned that his former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky was showering with a young boy in the Penn State football locker room, he had two choices: think of the child as his own and call police. Or not. He chose the latter.
I never got tired of Tom and Jerry, but I did have a dream of doing more with my life than making cartoons.
Yahoo was Jerry Yang’s baby. He did a great job creating the baby. Unfortunately, some of the key executives after the foundation of the company couldn’t keep up with the technology innovation of the industry. They thought that Yahoo should become a media company.
I’m in awe of people like Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard; they’re great musicians and people. But I’m most starstruck by people in the small town where I live. Especially single dads, like me, who are working five times as hard to raise their kids.
I think the Canadian Football League is a great league, but it’s not the NFL, and I’m not Jerry Rice.
I had pro offers from the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers, who were pretty hard up for linemen in those days. If I had gone into professional football the name Jerry Ford might have been a household word today.
I’m a fan of Superman as created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. Remember that Jerry and Joe created a character that was the biggest superhero of all.
Dr. Kissinger was a former child. Jerry Ford was a former child. Even F.D.R. was a former child. I retired from the movies in 1949, and I’m still a former child.
Over the years, I’ve come to realize that writing ‘I Ain’t Living Long Like This’ was an exercise in combined musical influence, mostly that of Hank Williams, Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, the Beatles, and Bob Dylan – artists no one has ever heard of.
I don’t want to be in the Jerry Sandusky business.
My mom and dad played this music all the time when I was growing up, so to me songs by Jerry Lee and Fats Domino are the classics, they’re the best songs ever.
I couldn’t watch Tom and Jerry. The cruelty was too much. I had all these strange images, of tiny animals, all mixed up.
It is not only in India but even in the west you have these crazy shows like Jerry Springer’ where people come and abuse, they take off their clothes, do everything possible just to become famous and known.
Jerry Robinson illustrated some of the defining images of pop culture’s greatest icons. As an artist myself, it’s impossible not to feel humbled by his body of work. Everyone who loves comics owes Jerry a debt of gratitude for the rich legacy that he leaves behind.
I think that – whether I should admit this or not – Joe and I, going back to ‘Tom and Jerry,’ have been very lucky in being able to do cartoons that have universal appeal.
Jerry Bruckheimer creates comedy, he just doesn’t realize because he’s a turd.
I was on the road with Jerry Lee Lewis when I was 15 – I can’t imagine not doing it. That’s what I do.
I think when I was young, let’s call it high school, and even before that, I just loved comedy, and I loved comedians. I grew up watching Laurel and Hardy. That’s really a long time ago. I loved Jerry Lewis. I just loved comedians.
Jerry Orbach is just phenomenal. He is genius, so present.
I used to pretend that I was Tom attacking Jerry, who was drawn on the ball.
In ‘Tom and Jerry,’ there was hardly any dialogue at all. It was all action. It required a great many drawings to make.
As a master of graphic creation, as teacher, historian, and roving ambassador of comics, Jerry Robinson has ensured that future generations of talented kids will continue to imagine and then put marks on paper.

Jerry Trainor is one of the funniest people on the planet.
The Cowboys fan in me is getting increasingly sick and tired of watching Jerry Jones enable his team to lose without fear.
I know this: Jerry Jones is unique, he’s as cool as James Bond and he has a command of his business. He can step into any arena and succeed.
I enjoyed doing the ‘Tom and Jerry’ cartoons, and if we had never done anything else, I would have been perfectly satisfied.
I did host the Jim Rome show with Jerry Ferrara for three hours when he was on vacation. Three hours is a long time. Think about how long that is. It was tricky, but it was a great experience.
