And today they have the "Just for 19 cents a day" commercials airing all the time. No need for a telethon.

Re: Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethons
Just curious as to how much money was embezzled during the years and who's pockets were filled.

There’s been a few times that I watched the telethon and it seemed like Lewis was faking his crying (remember he was an actor).

Re: Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethons
In most of Lewis’s comedy movies he always made fun of those who were challenged. I guess back then no one cared.
