Did Jerry Lewis drop an F-word on the telethon?

My computer won't play the darn video, but i believe you. that makes me a tad sad, seeing as i love jerry....*sigh*

When I first saw this clip, I was willing to give Jerry Lewis the benefit of the doubt, and half-expected to hear ''fatty.'' Also, a few posters at Towleroad (where I originally saw it) said, ''Relax, he said 'fatty.''' But now that I've played it a few times, I have to conclude Lewis said ''fag.'' And what's telling to me is the audience reaction. After he says the F-word, there's an audible ''ooooooohhhhh'' (as if to say, ''What did you just say?''), and as if to react to that, Lewis catches himself and says, ''No.'' Then he suddenly and literally changes the direction of his shtick (insulting the family) and walks back the other way. Sorry, Lewis blew it.

An absolute outrage, and a totally unfair characterization. I happen to be good friends with a number of illiterates, and only some of them are faggots.

He's on the shit list.  He definitely said f*g with a G not fat.  I'll give him a chance to respond like I did Isaiah.  If he's smart he'll say he's sorry and it was inappropriate and move on.
