Oh boy. Eighty-one year old Jerry Lewis' latest role is as a drunken-bat-crazy-bigot raising $63 million for Muscular Dystrophy.
During his annual Labor Day weekend telethon, Lewis started messing with a cameraman and pretendingly introduced a make-believe family member of the guy as "the illiterate fag" then remembered he was "live" and tried to move forward.
Will Lewis go to rehab a'la' Isaiah Washington ? Will Lewis unite with GLADD to do a series of public service announcements denouncing gay slurs? Will people insist he be fired? Wait, fired from raising bazillions of dollars for a good cause?
What he said was obnoxious and offensive but nada is going to happen to him. Ya heard.
Totally unacceptable. No excuse for it.
