LAS VEGAS — Even without Jerry Lewis, the Muscular Dystrophy Association telethon posted its best gain since the recession started. “American Idol” executive producer Nigel Lythgoe said after co-hosting Sunday’s program that he’s sorry the famed comedian didn’t participate, but the organization needs to move on to ensure the fundraiser continues. The telethon raised nearly $61.5 million Sunday, an increase of about $2.6 million over last year, MDA officials said.
