How long has Jerry had pulmonary fibrosis? I went into the living room and saw the TV and didn't recognize him. What exactly does this disease do?

Jerry Lewis has my most sincere admiration for fighting for a cause in which he so truly believes (MDA)....as he exposes his physical condition (Cushing's Syndrome due to steroids), to the public.
Incredible courage.

Jerry Lewis Telethon Nets Record $60.5M The tax cut, the surging economy, compassionate conservatism, and the Dems out of power are helping to fuel this generosity.

My husband saw Jerry on TV lately & was shocked by his weight. Now I see why.

I watched the entire thing. I do every year out of tribute to friends and family who have had this or any handicap. I spent a big part of my childhood collecting for MDA. The telethon was thin on real star power or talent this year imo. I was very surprised to hear Ed McMahon say this was his best one ever. Money wise yes...show wise it was sloppy and the comedians were terrible with the exception of Don Rickles.

I stopped giving to MDA when I found out that part of their "family services" was providing prenatal diagnosis for parents who may have an afflicted baby.

Is Chris Rock the only person to question why, after all these decades and over a billion dollars in donations, more hasn't been done to cure these horrific diseases?

Well...I haven't watched the MD Telethon for a few years. I don't know how he does it, breaking the records seemingly every year. It says a lot about how generous Americans are, and also how tenacious Jerry Lewis is. People make fun of him, and say the French are stupid because he is some kind of hero to them. Call me stupid too, because I thought he produced some of the funniest slapstick movie scenes of all time.
