Jerry Lewis & the MDA: Winning
I’ve always had mixed feelings about Jerry Lewis and the MDA telethon. It really surprised me to find out that the MDA basically dropped Mr. Lewis without so much as a fare-thee-well. But love him or hate him, don’t you think that after 130 years as the host, Jerry Lewis should be allowed to go out in style?
Mark Evanier came up with a plan that would do just that plus raise a ton of money for the cause. Let’s hope someone with pull reads Mr. Evanier’s blog.
After “130” years, I’m surprised Jerry could still DO it!
He’s spry.
Well, I guess doing something for “130” years would be a milestone, but did you mean “30?”
No. Jerry has been hosting the show since 1881!
[Actually Jerry hosted for 45 years, I was exaggerating to make a point, sir.]
