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.
