Here's the only snippet known to exist from the Jan 24, 1954 episode with Martin and Lewis, probably the single "most wanted" lost episode of WML (along with the Jul 31, 1955 episode with Ty Cobb. I think I'd vote for the 1951 show with Chico, or the Sept 25, 1955 episoe with Jackie Gleason in costume as Ralph Kramden!) This clip comes from the "WML at 25" special aired in 1975; the presumption over the years has been that the film of the full episode was damaged in the process of using it for the special, but we don't really know that to be the case.

Unlike most of the 100 or so lost episodes, there's good reason to believe that this one will turn up one day, thanks to Jerry Lewis's known mania for self-documenting every aspect of his career. It wouldn't be at all surprising if he requested a copy of the show for his own archive.

Unfortunately, even if this is the case, his materials were donated to the Library of Congress in 2015, and nothing gets out of the Library of Congress. But it would still be nice to know if it's there. . .
