How about Jerry Lewis as Jerry Langford (essentially Johnny Carson) in The King of Comedy, with Robert De Niro and Sandra Bernhard? Apparently, Scorsese wanted to cast Carson himself, but was turned down. According to IMDB, Scorsese also considered Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin for the role.
Follow Ups:
ephemere,Yes, there are exceptions to every rule and Lewis as the set-upon talk show host in "The King of Comedy" did very well.
Carson would have been an interesting choice as he had probably lived every one of those situations except the kidnapping. How about Dick Cavett also? - not that he has any apparent acting ability.
I admit that the most satisfying portion though was when Sandra Bernhard's quirky trust fund character had Lewis' mouth - and whole body covered in duct tape. Were that this treatment had been occasionally applied in the previous 40 years..
"The K of C" is excellent all around. Even the role of the bar tender girlfriend (Diahnne Abbott) was well done.
The ambiguous ending- real or another Rupert Pupkin fantasy- was a great choice.
Cheers,
Bambi B
