Did Jerry Lewis threaten to "blow the head off" of his stalker?

Trying to find a late 90's video/sound clip of Jerry Lewis threatening to kill his then-stalker...

Back in the late 90's I remember either seeing or hearing a clip of Jerry Lewis (I believe it was in an interview about the stalker being released on parole) where he states that if his stalker shows up at his house he would "blow his head off with my 357-magnum" I don't know if that is the quote but that's what I remember...

Does anyone remember hearing this? I can't find anything online...

Best answer: It was on Larry King. King asked him about his stalker being released and what he plans to do about it. And Jerry said something like "I'm covered". And King said "What does that mean?" And Jerry Launched into that tirade you described, because apparently the stalker called Jerry and threatened his (then) young daughter. I think this aired circa 1997.

It was like Rupert Pupkin all over again, only real and much scarier.

Best answer: I've heard it, and I thought I had a recording of it. But I don't. But it's real.
