The guy raised $2.5 billion for muscular dystrophy before they fired him back in 2011. His efforts for the charity are unparalleled. Anyone who was anyone participated in his telethons. I remember what an event they were when I was a kid.

I saw one of his last interviews in the past year. The guy didn't suffer fools lightly. The reporter asked him silly questions, and rather than do the Hollywood routine of offering some mindless response, he snapped back at the reporter. It was funny stuff. The guy was still working right up to his death. When the reporter asked if he'd considered retiring, he asked why he should do that. Working kept him alive.

RIP
Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
