    Jerry Lewis was a godsend for MD. What he managed through these telethons is astounding. A Labor tradition that is sadly - nay, tragically - no more.

    Hello. The Chilean telethon was held in 1978. In 1979 Jerry invited Don Francisco to the American telethon. Do you have that piece of '79? Thank you, @huemulin

    I donated to MDA for years but it stopped after they decided that 65+ Years of Service Jerry Lewis Gave to the Organization was enough and they kicked him to the Street like he was A bum . Absolutely Ridiculous and you will never get me to believe that his departure was a Mutual thing. Willing to bet Donations went into the crapper after he left

    Telethons aren’t fun anymore. My local Children’s Miracle Network telethon sucks; no live music or fun vibes. That’s why I’m pranking radiothons. That interaction between Fred and Jerry is cringe in light of recent events.

    Nothing “cringe” in their interaction. “Recent events” may be cringeworthy, but don’t conflate those with the good and or innocent moments. Otherwise, the creeps win.

    Me and my mom watched this every year..she even called in and donated money once in a while..about 20 years later my mom was diagnosed with Myasthenia gravis..weird enough..the MDA gave lots of help and support..about some odd years later I came across this video and was floored..I remember seeing this live as it broadcast back then..my mom cried..she remembered too..3 years ago God called her home..thanks to the MDA..our lives could have been much worse without them
