Jerry Lewis not doing MDA telethon

Jerry Lewis not doing MDA telethon:Comedian Jerry Lewis will miss hosting the Labor Day weekend Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) telethon this year's event despite the insistence of his last turn as host would be.
The announcement came a few weeks before the telethon, which Mr. Lewis has been held since 1966. In May, Mr. Lewis said he was from the show, a television staple retirement, but he had planned to appear on it this year. Well, that's not happening, according to R. Rodney Howell, chairman of the Muscular Dystrophy Association Board. Mr. Howell also said in a statement that Mr. Lewis was "liberated" from his position as national chairman of the association, but does not explain why. Representatives for Mr. Lewis to respond immediately to requests for comment.
