JERRY LEWIS: 'MERV GRIFFIN DESERVED TO DIE'
MERV GRIFFIN "deserved to die" because he avoided treating his prostate cancer, according to comedian JERRY LEWIS.
Griffin, the brains behind game shows like Jeopardy and Wheel Of Fortune, died earlier this month (Aug07) at the age of 82.
Lewis reveals he was furious when his late pal passed away - because he had the same disease, but was cured after seeing doctors.
Speaking on U.S. TV show Entertainment Tonight, Lewis says, "I was very angry when I heard (Griffin) died. He didn't have to die. He knew he had prostate cancer, and he did nothing about it. He deserved to die.
"You can't have cancer and say, 'I'll be all right.' You're not going to be all right. It's a malady that has to be addressed. I had it. I went and had it addressed and got it out of there. I'm going to beat George Burns. Burns died at 100, I'm going to go for 101, and I want a television special for my 101st birthday!"

Wow, that was a kinda harsh first comment. I grew up loving Jerry, maybe I'm
old school. But yeah, maybe he's grown a bit bitter over the years. I loved the
innocent Jerry in the old movies. This bitter old guy? I don't know him. Try
growing a heart again buddy. Jerry, you were lovable in the old days, now? Not
so much. I understand than you may have been friends with Merv and are maybe
trying to warn others of actually doing something about a treatable cancer, but
showing hate for your old friends isn't the way to go about it.
/still love and respect the old you buddy, maybe time has ravaged your senses
and you don't know any better....
Hey Jerry, too bad your stupid stichk was for real and not just an act. What a
heartless stupid ignorant statement to make. As the saying goes... with friends
like you who needs enemies. Hope your cancer comes back and makes your final
days as miserable and painful as possible you P.O.S.
By the way nobody even remembers your stupid act, you hasbeen. There is nothing
better then being remembered as a mubbling, hadicapped idiot semi-actor(freak)
who later begged people for money for a living!
Enjoy the rest of your life from your posturpedic bed with your remote in your
withered hand watching what has passed you by. Good night Jerry hopefully your
last.
