Until a few years ago, Labor Day meant the Muscular Dystrophy Telethon, which for many years was hosted by entertainer Jerry Lewis, who started the telethons in New York, and promoted them via appearances on shows like What's My Line?
In 1969, this animated spot aired prior to, and, presumably, during, the telethon. Forgive the video quality.
Even though the telethons ended nearly a decade ago, and a 2020 revival fronted by Kevin Hart was a non-starter, MDA is still raising money.
