Ah, they say it’s over?

I know you share my sad, but look it up online.

Linda Ronstadt, good lord, the voice.

 

[DanOregon]

Can't wait until they crank up "The Best of Jerry Lewis MDA Telethons."

 

[Machine Head]

I’ll be there!

When Sinatra brought out Dean Martin, Jerry didn’t know what to do.

It was never fully revealed why Lewis started to these telethons, was it? I remember it being kinda mysterious, the exact reason why. He wouldn’t talk about it. At least that’s my recollection.

 

[DanOregon]

It was just pitched to Martin and Lewis to help out and Lewis eventually got a lot more involved, taking over the organization. I still don't know how they make their budget each year without the telethon (unless the telethon ate up a lot of the donations).
And I'm a pig for saying this, but I most enjoyed the local cut-ins seeing the news anchors in evening dresses. Grew up with that on the TV. And Lewis and some kid on the cover of Parade magazine. The firefighter union guy, the other corporate types, Jerry "getting real" as he untied his bowtie and shifted his jaw.
