Y'know, Jerry Lewis is an old man, 85 years old, not very sharp mentally any more, and maybe the MD people decided it was time for him to hang it up. So what's the big deal? They may be doing him a kindness.

Jerry Lewis is still of sound mind. Not as sharp mentally as he was before but still capable.

If they feel that he can’t handle an all night telethon, the least they could do is give him the dignity of opening and closing the show (maybe announcing then that this is going to be his last MDA telethon ).

That’s the least they could do for him after what he has done for the cause for over 5 decades.

OK, but at least they should still have the telethon be the traditional length (21 hours or whatever) instead of compressed to 6 hrs. What a copout...

I feel the same way about Dick Clarke. But I think this has more to do with Jerry making some not so PC jokes over the past several years.

Maybe they should just take him out and put him on an iceberg.
