Jerry Lewis says his years of service to the Muscular Dystrophy Association helped make him a star.
Lewis said Saturday that he made his reputation in show business by saving lives. His remarks came during his acceptance speech at the Nevada Broadcasters Association dinner at Red Rock Resort, where he received a lifetime achievement award.
It was his first public appearance since he and the MDA parted ways earlier this month.
