Jerry Lewis told him his hat looked stupid.
Then, Lewis was being given info by his floor manager--and he just looked at her, looked at the audience and said, "It's like working with Eva Braun. She's got a swastika on her ass THIS BIG," as he spread his arms apart.
That telethon is such a scam
All I will donate to them is a spanking.
I was flipping by last night. It’s a good cause. I saw them playing a tape of George Burns and a tape of him winning an Oscar recently. Sometimes you kinda forget about this not thinking that oh yeah its Labor Day weekend.
I’ve been in and out all day...it is painful watching Jerry Lewis....granted he’s 83 but still painful...
Years ago, I used to watch it 24/7. One year, Lewis was rude to the audience and kept calling women slang words like old broads. That was the last time I ever watched.
These conditions are inherited, and the different muscular dystrophies follow various inheritance patterns. The best-known type, Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), is inherited in an X-linked recessive pattern, meaning that the mutated gene that causes the disorder is located on the X chromosome, one of the two sex chromosomes, and is thus considered sex-linked. In males (who have only one X chromosome), one altered copy of the gene in each cell is sufficient to cause the condition. In females (who have two X chromosomes), a mutation must generally be present in both copies of the gene to cause the disorder (relatively rare exceptions, manifesting carriers, do occur due to dosage compensation/X-inactivation). Males are therefore affected by X-linked recessive disorders much more often than females. A characteristic of X-linked inheritance is that fathers cannot pass X-linked traits to their sons.
i checked in on the telethon twice today for only a few minutes. both times i was rewarded for my curiosity. 1st time a teenage magician was playing with scarves and said “now i say the magic words, that’s just like a man, i can’t say it’s just like a woman because that would be considered derogatory.” his tone was so dryly sarcastic, it was hilarious. a little later he said, “now i say the magic words, affirmative action.” this was accompanied by an eyeroll that was perfect.
second time i looked in i was awed by the Las Vegas Mass choir performance. those folks were fantastic.
This thread is more entertaining than I remember the telethon to be...
I wonder if they did a tribute to Ed McMahon?

Naw, why bother? Obama is gonna kill alla Jerry’s kids off anyway.
But, that was back in the day when the Rat Pack were frequent guests, and actors from all the old and cheesy movies that I watched came on, and my Grandparents were still alive...
It seems that Jerry has outlived them all, and he's the only one left. Even Ed is gone.

Very early this morning, I happened on the telethon in time to see four guys (caucasian) who are a doo wop group. Don’t recall their group name, but they play in Las Vegas. They sounded just like the original group singing the song, I think it was one of Smokey Robinson’s.
Kudos to Jerry Lewis.
MDA’s not getting a penny from my family until they stop using some of their funds to support embryonic stem cell research.
