Some Labor Day Weekend History -
One of my favorite weekends as a child - we'd camp out in the living room to watch because the Telethon was the only time the TV station didn't sign-off for the night
Jerry Lewis hosted his first official Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) Labor Day telethon on September 5, 1966, raising $1,002,114 in its debut. Throughout the years, the telethon presented a variety of acts to draw viewers and donations. Comedy, musical and dance teams took center stage while stars took calls from generous donors.
Key Details
First Broadcast: Aired on September 5, 1966, from the Americana Hotel and broadcast locally on WNEW-TV in New York.
Growth: The initial success led to an annual tradition over Labor Day weekend, eventually expanding nationwide through the "Love Network".
Legacy: Jerry Lewis hosted the annual event until 2010, helping raise over $2.45 billion for the Muscular Dystrophy Association before the format ended in 2015.

Embrace the unholy alliance, Republicans. If the lefty regressives do an ad, you do one too!
Hire some stuntmen and toss one of them off of a building wearing a rainbow t shirt. When the msm cries foul, tell them you hired a gay stuntman.
C'mon, I can't think of everything.
