Jerry Lewis SLAMS Reality T.V. - American Idol is filled with no-talent losers

Jerry Lewis had his take on Reality TV while promoting his new documentary. He told reporters that:

Shows like “American Idol” are filled with no-talent losers and that these programs are destroying the medium

“The kids who’re on American Idol, they’re all McDonalds wipe outs,” Lewis told TV critics in Beverly Hills. “They all worked there and now they’re doing [reality TV].”

Regarding “The Biggest Losers,” in which contestants compete to lose the most weight, Lewis barked: “Who gives a s__t?The industry has destroyed itself. We don’t have the soul in our industry that we had when I was working in it. The soul has been desperately deteriorating [in] it, only because you’ve got a guy running a network whose aunt died and left him some stock.”
