I'm a few hours behind the rest of the world but thanks to TiVo, I'm watching the Jerry Lewis Telethon. Jerry looks good but Ed McMahon is a far cry from the guy who used to sit next to Carson and go "Hi-yo!" He starts the festivities by introducing the mayor of Las Vegas, Oscar Goodman as "the mayor of Los Angeles."
I'm a bit confused, too. Jerry begins by announcing this is his 56th telethon and that it's "officially" the fortieth MDA telethon. I'm not sure what that means but the MDA website says "The 2006 Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon is the 41st annual Labor Day show."
I'll report back if I notice anything else interesting.
