Jerry Lewis Rushed to Hospital

Comedian Jerry Lewis’s health scare last night looked worse than it was when he collapsed moments before taking the stage at a gala to honor Tom Cruise with the Friars Club Entertainment Icon Award. Lewis, 86, was rushed to a Manhattan hospital after passing out from low blood sugar, the New York Post reports, and is believed to have been released later that evening. Lewis was also set to be honored with the Applause Award at the gala last night. Tom Cruise said he was “sorry Jerry couldn’t be here tonight” while accepting his award—the club’s highest honor that has only previously been awarded to Douglas Fairbanks, Cary Grant, and Frank Sinatra.
