NBC asked Jack Osborne to be a Target in an Iron Lung - on "Stars Earn Stripes"

 fire away
 Yesterday, NBC Entertainment Chairman Bob Greenblatt responded toSharon Osbourne and her claims that her son, Jack Osbourne was let go from NBC's upcoming new reality series, Stars Earn Stripes after he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.  Reportedly, Sharon Osbourne was angry at NBC's supposed decision which prompted her to leave her position as judge on America's Got Talent. 

"First, we have the deepest affection for Sharon Osbourne and consider her to be part of the NBC family," 
 Although we did not ask Jack to participate in the competition because of his MS disability, we were able to offer him two substantial alternative roles on the show:
hoo hoo

One - was to be a target in a bullet proof Iron Lung.   

Second - we offered him a role as a dancing Chimpanzee in the show open where his disability could be covered as wild uncoordinated dancing

Both of which he declined. This network does not discriminate on any basis."
