Does anyone on this sight know for a fact...this is what I gathered. He refused to do the 2 hour prime time taped ABC MDA telethon (He has said they offered him the last spot ) Carol King closed the show. I assume he was not in agreement in abandoning the live 21 1/2 hour telethon to do the new format.
What do you guys know?

I always thought it had to do with him making gaffes and having controversy in the last few yrs prior.
