Did you or your parents watch the Jerry Lewis MDA telethon on Labor Day growing up?

[smahala1991]

This is more for the older generation on GAG. The telethon ran from 1966-2014. Do you think the same formula could work today or do you think it wouldn't work in today's culture?

[Chazmatazz269]

We watched all things Jerry Lewis. My mother was a big fan and we learned to luv him as well. Luv’d Abbot and Costello too!

Hi, nice to meet you!

I remember when I was younger saw the Jerry Lewis telethon he was funny. Jerry Lewis did a lot of fundraising to help lot of people. I would think it would help just like it did back then. He had a lot of name brand acts.

[josephinelcajon]

Absolutely! I meet him in a supermarket in Vegas. He seemed to be a very nice guy.

My parents never watched it but my wife always watched it and once we got together I watched it with her.

@MISA777 I have been on here for a year or so. Some of the people are pretty nice. BeWell, X-7

[AviatorTom]

Yep, every year, Labor Day, the TV was on the MDA Telethon all day long.

No not work people's attention span is too short now would have to be 1 hour or less and have women and men acting sexy to keep the viewers happy

[Likes2drive]

You mean Jerry’s kids? I remember that but I never really thought much about it or watched it , saw the commercials a lot

[MISA777]

Hi, nice to meet you!

[Jamie05rhs]

I never saw it. I know who Jerry Lewis is, though. He's a funny actor.

[Googlemyahoo]

No. He sucked and wasn’t funny just like Jim Carrey.

[Libertycityguy]

I caught it a couple times but didn't really watch it.
