French Jerry Basketball Joke

Remember my great student who is so great because he is the one who told me about Jerry Lewis buying a hearing aid for his dog? He also knows how much I hate that stupid cliché about the French loving Jerry. And just look what he has uncovered: "Feel obligated to tell you that the announcer just made a joke about the French loving Jerry Lewis during the NBA all-star game. 'We just got word that the French newspaper covering the game has already submitted their ballot and their pick for MVP is...Jerry Lewis.' The NBA all-star game."
