Jerry Lewis Gets "Medical Degree", Set to Work on Cure for Muscular Dystrophy

Jerry Lewis, MD, Sets Research Sights on Muscular Dystrophy

After raising $60 million in his muscular dystrophy telethon this year, Jerry Lewis is spending it
on his salary as a researcher. A spokesperson for the comedian stated, "We're certain Mr. Lewis can do an effective job doing research in this area. He has done telethons for the last twenty years. And we can't really say there has been any progress by any of those so-called "experts" with the fancy degrees. Let's just say he can't do much worse."

Mr. Lewis has an honorary doctorate in arts from Kaplan, an online university.
