Jerry Lewis Will NOT Return As Host Of Muscular Dystrophy Telethon

Whomp, whomp.

Despite reports that said Jerry Lewis was back as host of his legendary Muscular Dystrophy Association telethon, airing September 4, it turns out, he won’t be back.

Jerry’s spokeswoman Candi Cazau said:

Him being reinstated as the host of the MDA telethon is not accurate.

Bummer!! Jerry’s been hosting the telethon since 1966. What will a telethon be without Jerry slurring his words and being extremely awkward??

LOLz! No, but seriously, there is one thing that Jerry is great at and that’s raising millions of dollars for Muscular Dystrophy. He has pretty big shoes to fill.
