Jerry Lewis said he was prepared not to exceed the 2007 number because of the sluggish economy.

“Each year I tell myself, ‘This has got to be it. There’s no way we can do better.’ Then, the following year, I’m astounded to see that generosity driven by love and compassion has a greater capacity than I thought possible,” Lewis said. “I am awed and humbled by this response.”

An astounding $65 million for the Muscular Dystrophy Association in his annual Labor Day telethon, MDA is a nonprofit working to defeat muscular dystrophy and 40 related diseases through research, support services and public health education.

It would seem that Jerry Lewis 82, is in trouble .  I was just reading an article that tells us that Jerry Lewis, our telethon king loved by many, has been sited for a gun in his luggage. Police are saying gun,  Jerry’s manager is saying a prop that is a hollowed out and that the gun can not be shot.  I am sure the latter is the case, I would not suspect that known funnyman Jerry is a gun toting elderly man, I won’t believe that.
