I remember when the MS telethon really was a 24/7 event. If you were stuck in the house on a rainy Labor Day weekend and you only had three channels to choose from, it was like you were being held hostage by Jerry Lewis, LOL

It was funny though if you tuned in around 2AM when Jerry just wasn't giving a crap anymore, his tie pulled loose, his oily hair becoming unglued.

LOL! You nailed it! I was just a kid back then but could not imagine a Labor Day weekend without Jerry's telethon.

My mom sadly passed in April and life looks a lot different these days.

Thanks for a laugh and the help remembering the good old days.
