MDA Telethon Does Just Fine Without Jerry
Eyebrows were raised when it was announced that Jerry Lewis wouldn't be part of this year's Muscular Dystrophy telethon. More eyebrows were raised when it was announced that the telethon would be shortened to only six hours. Well it all worked out just fine. The MDA telethon raised $61.5-million dollars Sunday...up by about $2.5-million over last year's 21 and a half hour telethon. In the absence of Lewis, the hosting duties were split among celebs like Nancy O'Dell, Ryan Seacrest, Jennifer Lopez, Steven Tyler, and Whoopie Goldberg.
