Back in the 70’s , we’d stop everything that weekend to watch JL telethon. Then talk about it when we went back to school. It had top notch celebrities, acts and music talents. Over the years it seemed to get less notoriety.

What a time in the world, 1984, WOW, Everything and Everyone was Much Much Better than Now PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!

Thank u Jerry Lewis for the wonderful telethon memories and all the slapsticks!!

One of the best endings that I remember in all the years of the telethon. Still brings tears just like it did when it first aired in 1984. "RIP Jerry"

Jerrry Lewis MDA telethon was a Labor Day staple from the early 70's to the 2000's. Labor day hasn't been the same since.

Those where the years, R.I.P. Mr Jerry.

Forever Jerry Lewis. I love you always.

JERRY LEWIS GAVE HIS LIFE AND GAVE OTHERS A CHANCE TO LIVE

Out of all the totes I've seen from 1976 to 2010 thanks to KZread, I must say that THIS one here is my favorite. It's my favorite, because it has an exciting outcome. It's the final tote that wouldn't die until the third one showed up. Forgive me for my choice of words, but I was just trying to sound clever.

The universal epic win fanfare: the toteboard arrangement of "What the World Needs Now" from the Jerry Lewis Telethons.

RIP Jerry, you made a difference.

I miss Jerry and the telethons. Rest In Peace, Jerry.

I love this. I get such a kick out of Sammy waiting in the corner to be hugged like a small child.

I miss this. We watched every single year.

RIP Jerry. Thanks for everything you did!

This was the BEST momment of the year(s)

I love Jerry and the telathon

I don't think anyone could do a telethon like Jerry Lewis! I have watched the Jerry Lewis Telethon for so many years. When Jerry left doing the telethon, I stopped watching. Thank you Jerry for your hard work, dedication, and committment! You will never be forgotten! God Bless Jerry Lewis! May you rest in peace!

Like so many things, daytime game shows and soaps, the baseball game of the week, ABCs Wide, Wide World of Sports, saturday morning cartoons, to name but a few, the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon has passed into memory. Yeah, it was cheesy and Lewis had his heart on his sleeve, but you watched it. Labor Day just isn't quite the same.

The Show stopped after MDA decided that the 60+ years Jerry Lewis gave to them was enough and they tossed him to the street after 2010 like he was A bum it is that simple

R.IP Jerry. You're a class act.

Love him, hate him, or you don’t really care about him, no one can deny the difference Jerry Lewis made for people with muscular dystrophy.

Time to pass the torch, and find someone to carry on Jerry's role. He is irreplaceable, but like Bob Barker and Drew Carey, you honor a tradition not by stopping, but continuing on. "Walk on, walk on... You'll never walk alone." In this case, this means a successor to *walk with Jerry* . It's been a TRAGEDY not to realize this.

Greed seemed to have taken over. That’s why it got less notoriety. Jerry, RIP. The greedy, your creator will deal with you in due time.

very nice chris nice to see the final 3 rolls from 1984 telethon has there been a huge star that has got jerry over the years to get that 1.00 more the most other than sammy or wayne

You will be missed. RIP

THE GREATIST NUTJOB OF AT TIME THERE'LL NEVER BE ANOTHER NUTJOB LIKE JERRY NUTJOB LEWIS

CLASSIC ENDING

Feels bad so many of the celebrities are dead. Guess that’s life. 📺

It's Labor Day, and another telethon is missed.

RIP

Well, what can I say, Jerry? America gives a damn! It cares!

This is when Hollywood had class

When he sings the line" Your never walk" the pause seems a bit long for "Alone".

Don;t forget there were other telethons as well such as United Cerbal Paulsey and Easter Seals

The wham of Sam!

I have never in my life heard of a single person who was helped with any of this money. Not. A. Single. One.

Wonder what Jerry's super fan is doing now

Is he trying to say it's not actually muscular dystrophy???

The world has changed so much for the worse since these days

je suis making uno movie 🎥 about le Warsaw ghetto est Pope John Paul 2. similar to Schindler's list.

Heh, I'm the 69th upvote.

Easy Jerry ....There’s more ....... ((((((:

Just wondering what that organization did with all that money that Jerry Lewis got for them? In the end, I believe it was about 32 billion dollars. And not a cure in sight??? All his hard work . Where did all that money go?

Please visit the MDA website www.mda.org to learn where all the money has gone. Tests and trials are finally becoming treatments. Those with neuromuscular disease are now living into adulthood rather than passing away before they're 10. It took time but the human body isn't simple to fix like a car.

I do not know the exact number, but your 32 billion is way over inflated. Several interviews on You Tube Lewis states around 1.6 billion (give or take). That includes corporate as well as individual giving. Where did it go? Well like any Non profit (though non taxable) there still must be an accounting to the IRS. Every Organization has expenses, overhead, etc, and that includes salaries and even expenses for fundraising. There are web sights that monitor and rate what are the best charities as per the percentage of finances spent. At times it is like comparing apples to oranges. MDA for instance might have higher expenses in salaries, but it also has highly trained professionals in medical research and care, other charities may be just 'need based' giving with much lower overhead. As for 'cure', many things will never be 'cured', but the advances have provided longer and higher qualities of life for those afflicted (not only in MDA, but many other charities). Bottom line do your own research, and give to the Organizations that best fit your heart. soul, and passion.

In some ways, I guess we All wonder, with All the Money Accumulated through the years, But I do Believe The Money has Genuinely Helped in The Research of M.D.A. THIS DISEASE IS EXTREMELY COMPLICATED, Jerry Lewis Gave a LARGE PART OF HIS LIFE, TO FINDING A CURE, THATS DEDICATION, AND I ALSO BELIEVE MANY A PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HELPED, Like Jerry says in his End Song, Keep Hope in Your Heart, R.I.P.
