About Sammy Petrillo
Sammy Petrillo, also known as Sam Patrello, was an American nightclub and movie comedian best known as a Jerry Lewis imitator. Though Petrillo says Wishman promised a two-picture deal, and that if he would "make the first movie for me cheap, I'll be your partner in the second one", that did not come to pass. The first clip, however, showed not Lewis but Petrillo in a Colgate Comedy Hour sketch with Eddie Cantor. In the late 1970s, Petrillo rekindled his friendship and again worked with Duke Mitchell in California, where Petrillo became a distributor for the Transcontinental Film Corporation. Suzie Fiore, became business partners, and performed comedy onstage for over ten years as Suzie & Sammy.
