My father told me how back in the early fifties they would go downtown (Newark) to one of the many theaters to see live shows starring all the big stars like these three and many many other great stars. It's hard to imagine now but Newark had 65 theaters, some of them the biggest and finest around. I wish it could be the 50's forever !

I wish I cld time travel to the fifties as well!! The 50’s and 60’s must’ve been a real swell time to live in the USA! Yes, now we have all the luxuries and technologies, but we traded it all out for real life and real love, and real community and American values, and so much more! What a shame we weren’t able to find a healthy balance!

Three Legends on one stage - EPIC.

We would keep these on for as long as they went when I was a kid. If you are too young to have seen them you can’t understand what a big deal they were , the whole country watched. In the 60s You could send away for a carnival kit and me and my three brothers did that for years. You never knew who would show up on the show.

I miss old Hollywood. This was even before my time and I still miss it just the same. :)

Greatest comedians to grace the stage ....what a talent..so true ...Hollywood’s greatest era ....you cannot get any better than this ....

As much as i crush on both Dean and Jerry, that Jackie had beautiful, bright eyes that are enough to make any gal swoon.

In Jerry’s book he talked about Dean and Jackie betting on a friendly drinking contest. He never said who won but I doubt Jackie would lose a drinking contest.

Jerry Lewis was so handsome 😍😍

What a guy Jerry was and is! "No money" as he hangs up the phone. Always thinking of the kids. Man. 100 was a shipload in those days. "Such a good boy". "A couple of girls and some liquor", two lines from The Great One which would have zero humor content if delivered by anyone else. I'll see these guys in heaven with Bob Hope's ongoing show, entertaining the troops.

Stephanie Santos I'm not sure how those telethons worked, but could it have been that the woman had already made the donation to one of the telephone girls in the background before being put through to Jerry, and then got so excited speaking to him in person that she forgot to tell him? I don't know, but presumably the callers had to leave their details with someone so the donation could go through?

JERRY LEWIS 16 DE MARZO DE 1926 20 DE AGOSTO DE 2017 91 AÑOS

Telephon always on during Labor Day weekend. Jackie Gleason had variety shows, they are not online, once were, but no longer. I don't know the reason.. So it's rare to see much of his comedy shtick over the years. I was one year old in 1952, so don't remember this. By the time I saw a telephon, Martin and Lewis had long broken up.

I remember calling in and my aunt answered, I pledged$3 from earnings as a 9 year old. It was exciting

Back when Gleason looked like Perry Mason.
