Jerry Lewis: No More Telethons
Is this coincidence or irony? Last week at the TCA Press Tour, Jerry Lewis was cryptic about his future involvement with the Muscular Dystrophy telethon, telling reporters, “It’s none of your business.†During that discussion, he also slammed reality TV shows like “American Idol” and “The Biggest Loser.” Guess what? “American Idol” producer Nigel Lythoe and “Biggest Loser” host Alison Sweeney are slated to cohost this year’s telethon at Labor Day. And Jerry has been removed from this benefit, which he’s hosted since 1966. Hey, Lady!
