Jerry Lewis has been hosting his MDA Telethon for 45 years, and that’s something that deserves an enormous amount of praise.

But he’s also lovably loopy, occasionally going off on a PG-13ish rant that appears slightly out of place with the rest of the show’s tone. This was his moment yesterday, involving “porno tapes.”

This is how he got there. He couldn’t find his glasses and that became a riff on how when you get older you spill things on yourself more – “on my shoulder, and on my fly, and into my shoes.” He doesn’t understand why that is – but something he does understand…

I do understand no hanky panky anymore. I have wonderful porno stuff that I watch a lot. Porno corporation, the same people that did the Castle Films The Monsters. Did I get away with it? No.

I have no idea what he was talking about regarding Castle Films and The Monsters but that’s what he said. Also directly after this, he tossed to a performer, making for the most awkward transition in a while.

The telethon raised $58.9 million – a huge sum of money, but down from the $60.5 million last year and $65 million in 2008.

I wish that there were more distinction between the names “Jerry Lewis” and “Jerry ‘Lee’ Lewis”. It gets confusing, particularly when the topic is hanky panky.

WHEN’S O’BECKERHEAD’S NEXT “LIARS’ AND HERETICS’ REVIVAL”?
AND, WHERE AND WHEN BEST TO CO-OPT ANOTHER’S NAME AND ESSENCE?
I’M THINKING BETHLEHEM AROUND THE NEXT CHRISTMAS FESTIVAL,
AIM FOR THE TOP AND ASSUME NOTHING LESS THAN CHRIST’S REAL PRESENCE.

A quick check of IMDB shows that Castle Films distributed movies like Termites from Mars, Woodpeckers from Mars, Dracula and The Invisible Woman. Wikipedia says that they traded a lot in home movies and newsreels that were distributed in camera stores and specialty shops for home viewing.

Because they were in business from ’26 to ’66 and it is claimed that they distributed more than a thousand titles, I’m going to guess that some were more risqué than others and Jerry may have thought that by redirecting toward something racy that was produced in ’47, folks wouldn’t necessarily think of Debbie Does Dallas.

Of course after he said it, he realized that he probably didn’t “get away with it” because if it weren’t for the ‘net, we wouldn’t have understood his cover.

PS) Congrats Jerry and MDA for another good year.

I love Jerry, but he is a hardcore lefty. He loved Clinton. He sometimes lets his tolerance for other leftys of the no values crowd.

Jerry Lewis is a first class prick! I had a personal encounter with him at MD fundraiser. He was co-billed with Roy Clark, the HeeHaw guitar entertainer. (The Lewis Clark Expedition) I was a donor and able to attend a private post show party. Clark was gracious and mingled with the attendees, laughing, posing for photos and engaging.. Lewis was condescending asshole, keeping to himself and his bodyguard, ignoring anyone who approached him and complaining about the soda water. He didn’t even have time to accept the keys to the city, insulting the Mayor. Of course, Clark did graciously……ASSHOLE!
