Let’s call it what it really is/was. Jerry Lewis WAS the MDA Telethon. His selfless work on behalf of “Jerry’s Kid’s” was the sole reason the Telethon was successful.

After the shabby way the MDA dumped Jerry, they quickly realized how important he was to the broadcast. No one could replace Jerry and it’s a sad commentary on what our country has become.

I’d ALWAYS dug deep for Jerry’s Kid’s..MDA...not so much.

What was really shabby was that Jerry Lewis only wanted to do one more MDA telethon and then he was going to retire from doing MDA telethons.

The MDA folks wouldn't even give Jerry one last hurrah. They kicked him out and wouldn't let Jerry go out with grace. It just baffles me.
