MDA ends Jerry Lewis Labor Day telethon


For years, Labor Day wasn't just a day off from work. It meant it was time to watch the annual Muscular Dystrophy Association telethon.

It was time to watch Jerry Lewis in action.

Now, it's truly the end of an era. The MDA announced today it's ending the tradition. No more telethon.

Lewis' reign was already over. That ended in 2010 when he parted company with MDA.

It was first hosted by Lewis and Dean Martin in 1956 from Carnegie Hall. After that, Lewis was named the organization's National chairman, a voluntary position he would hold for 55 years.

It became a weekend-long Labor Day telethon in 1966, usually kicking off Sunday night and running into Monday afternoon.

The telethon ran 21-and-a-half hours in 2010, Lewis' last year as host, and had dwindled to a two-hour show the last two years.

The telethon has raised more than $2 billion since its inception for MDA

And it was thrilling to watch the numbers on the tote board ring up like a slot-machine jackpot as money poured in for the cause so near and dear to Lewis' heart. It became a personal endurance test for Lewis, who never said why he was so involved. He usually ended the event by singing You'll Never Walk Alone.

Well, just was stopping by to say Hi everyone... have a great weekend people!

Wow what a difference from when he was hosting. : (

Sweet!! I'm looking forward to sleeping too!!

I don't believe your story is crazy at all Simple. Totally believe it. I know of many just like it, different situations, all with the same conclusion. We are 'nothing's' to them.

I also highly recommend what in the world are they spraying if someone has not seen it yet.

Sad isn't it? Now they are going to concentrate on on-line fund raising, Can remember on Labor Day when we were kids heading to the lake or beach the firemen would be at the lights in every town with boots collecting for MDA

Another one?

Yup, and Luis was posting a ton of them all day!

:s27smileyhug:

:sw_kittenattack:

Just throwing it out there. My ears are ringing BAD! Lots of pressure to the point where my ears kind of hurt a little bit. The ringing goes off and on, but when it's on it lasts a good amount of time. At this moment they're ringing...LOUD.

Mine too! All day!

It's kinda freaking me out. It doesn't happen often to me and it is BAD right now. Never ever have I felt/heard it like this.



Are yours worse than normal tonight/today?

Yes and I am dizzy too :(
