When I was a kid, it was the only program that was on for 24 hours....
Use to try to stay up to watch it.... Never could...
I remember the time Sinatra brought out Dean Martin after their partnership had a bad break up...

Brings back memories of Labor Day.
Seems the convenient stores 7/11 was heavily involved. I remember the local TV stations making a big splash about it with a segment of local talent.
There was a politically incorrect joke. What has 10,000 legs and can't walk? Jerry's kids.

the best thing was the graveyard shift, when they would put on these small time lounge acts
The one I remember is some guy in his 50s (60s?) w/a terrible toupee in an Elvis jump suit and his beer belly singing "You May Be Right"

Remember watching the telethon as a kid. And being from Southeast Louisiana, many times there were hurricane updates fairly frequently as well.

A great childhood memory especially in Baton Rouge where the local affiliate (Ch 33?) would take over during the Las Vegas national breaks. You never knew who was going to show up in Vegas or locally during the telecast. Baton Rouge was a tight-knit small town back then and very generous.
As a child, and thinking as a child, I'd watch Jerry late into the night just waiting for a guy in a science coat to run out to tell Jerry, "We found the cure". It never happened of course, but I hoped it would.
Thank you Mr. Lewis.

We always watched a lot of it. With just 3 channels, it was often the best choice.
Now I can’t think about it without hearing Chris Rock going off about the lack of progress and getting the kids a table dance.
l’ve been watching the Jerry Lewis Telethon… for probably about 15 or 20 years now. Not one stitch of progress whatsoever. Come on, man. Lie to me, Jerry! What the frick you doing, Jerry? Put a stick in the kid’s back, prop him up or some shite! Come on, call Steven Spielberg. Get some special effects on this shite! Get George Lucas on the case! CGI, motherfricker! What the frick! Tie some string around him, make a cripple puppet or some shite. Lie to me!
Where the frick’s the money going? What, to keep Jerry’s hair black? Where’s the money going? Think about it. Frank Sinatra: dead. Dean Martin: dead. Sammy Davis: dead. Jerry Lewis got a full head of black hair.
And if you ain’t gonna cure the disease, cut the kids a check! That’s right, you know the little boy who’s getting ready to die? Get him a table dance. Get him a table dance, for Christ’s sake! I’m sure the Make-A-Wish people hear that request every now and then. Get the boy a table dance. ”What do you want, Jimmy? You’re dying. Wanna meet Jim Carrey?” ”No, I want some big titties in my face. ” my last wish, come on.” Bigger Blacker transcript
