I've no doubt about that. His biographer Shawn Levy shows what an asshole 
and prick Lewis was throughout his life and career (including several nasty 
personal encounters with Levy). I was talking about his comedy, his craft. 
Lots of comics or artists are utterly depraved individuals. Is that how you 
judge their work, whether or not they kick their cat or yell at their 
father?
