Jerry Lewis Shows His Ignorant Side - PIC

It was Labor Day weekend, and we know what that means … another Jerry Lewis Telethon! And this year, Jerry Lewis decided to make it extra special and, after 18 hours of fundraising, called someone an “illiterate faggot”.

The telethon raised a record $63 million for muscular dystrophy despite the slur.

What others are saying:

Best Week Ever says, “That didn’t stop the telethon from raising a record $63 million after enormous last-minute contributions from Isaiah Washington, Ozzie Guillen, and Mel Gibson.”

dlisted says, “Put this old, grouchy bitch in a home already! First, Jerry Lewis said that Merv Griffin “deserved” to die and now this?!”
