Lewis was also the sponsor and (usually) host of The Jerry Lewis MDA Labor Day Telethon. The latter had played host to Muppet characters on various occasions.
Lewis was also parodied in the Dinosaurs episode "Getting to Know You." Henri and Simone Poupon attempt to convince Charlene Sinclair of the genius of a rather Jerry Lewis-like dinosaur character on TV.
In his book Dean and Me, Lewis refered to a gossip columnist named Louella Parsons, stating that she "spoke like a Muppet without a hand up her back."[1]
