Talk about this story

Comedian Jerry Lewis has some things in common with Jim Carrey - they make people laugh by falling down a lot and acting like fools.

However, while Carrey is known to people for talking out of his ass, Lewis is getting recognized by people for speaking as an ass.

This last weekend, at the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, Colo., Lewis was the keynote speaker in a short question and answer session moderated by Martin Short.

During the session, an audience member asked Lewis which female comedians he admires.

Lewis replied, "I don't like any female comedians."

Furthermore, Lewis went on to say that "a woman doing comedy doesn't offend me, but sets me back a bit. I, as a viewer, have trouble with it. I think of her as a producing machine that brings babies to the world."

Wildlife wanted to see how students would respond to his comments.
