Jerry Lewis telethon totals and Jerry goes out with a bang! 9/7/09 LIVE!

[AllisonsHunt]

Jerry Lewis is a dick. I observed him walking through the Old Towne Shopping Mall in Reno. This was 1979 and I was a bubbley 22 year old. Lewis was marveling over an ornate copacino machine through a store window. I was on the other side of the window, looking out. I ran around the window and asked Lewis for his autograph. " NO!" screamed Lewis "and I wish the public would just leave us celebrities alone! We have a right to be LEFT ALONE!" Meanwhile, Harrah's escorts are ready to pounce.

He picked something that needs fixing and has gone after it with a passion. God bless him.

I'll be watching this one. He's 84 and still able to do this. I hope to see a live telethon one day.

Why is it always the rich and famous asking for donations from people who are not rich and famous. Can't they donate themselves?  Why ask people who are poorer for donations?

[legendapoju22]

@rubin808 Jerry does have money.

And he's put BOAT LOADS of money to charity and helping the less lucky people...

[rubin808]

@legendapoju22 The rich and famous asked for donations again this passed Labor Day. Isn't this like a scam? The millionaire celebrities wants people who make less money to donate.

@rubin808 And just who do you think YOU are to ask? My guess is that you are an absolute NOBODY, who knows NOTHING about the MDA Telethon or the people who support it. None of the people who appear on the event get paid even one red cent, not even their travel expenses to the telethon. It comes out of their own pockets, and they give of their time and talent.... and probably cut a check for MDA at the same time. You are DEAD WRONG!

@legendapoju22 Actually, I remember one year when somebody asked Jerry how much he had donated to the MDA that year. Jerry became very angry and replied that people of his fame and status donated their time, not their money. So I guess Jerry donates something like 24 hours a year to the MDA.

[msnbc87]

I like at the end when he did the intro one more time for his band and says " I think I need a drum roll AHHA"! as the # changes to $60,000,000+ dollars
