What I thought Jerry said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the rock band GWAR!" (wha????)
Cut to a shot of War doing a medley of their hits.

I could never force myself to watch more than ten minutes of it. The show biz schlock and pity-pushing are so palpable it tastes like a slug of mercuric acid.

It's kinda sad he couldn't get up and do a spaz-dance with Charo.
OK, a friend says Jerry sang "Mammy" on the show (sitting down).

Jerry had oh so many senior moments, but none quite so bizarre as when he somehow managed to nearly get run over by his own motorized wheelchair cart.

Jerry condescends to the Jackson 5, whereupon they burn the damn house down
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsqBjvOUPsQ
this is the era of Jackson 5 during which I first heard them and it's so special to me, how funky they were getting, just the vibe - when I was a kid I had the Enjoy Yourself single & listened to it over & over & over - and man just look at them chew up all the scenery. so rad.

Never seen the Telethon, being a Brit. But Jerry Lewis was classic onstage on Broadway and in London in Damn Yankees. Pure old school showbiz classic.

biggest performers I caught last night were Manilow & Norm Crosby :/
― kind of shrill and very self-righteous (Dr Morbius), Monday, 6 September 2010 14:26 (thirteen years ago) link
is there any more boring a performer than Tony Orlando? I saw him on one of the telethons a few years ago and he was singing some song (i dunno if it was even one of his as I generally avoid his music) but during it he was making ridiculous facial expressions as if he had just blown your mind after every lyric.
― funky brewster (San Te), Monday, 6 September 2010 14:32 (thirteen years ago) link
also remember a few years ago that he had his son perform (Gary Lewis and the Playboys). and of course Gary's voice sounded terrible and tinny ("This Diamond Ring").
story on that is that Gary Lewis was supposed to originally just be the group's drummer, but they pushed him to the forefront of the group because he was attractive and related to celebrity, and could sell the group. Since he couldn't sing well, so they mixed his voice in with several other peoples so that he sounded more like Mario Lanza. this is why they lip-synched on The Ed Sullivan Show.

Tony Orlando's showbiz hyperbole fits this show like a glove. To wit, SNL 1978:
Bill Murray:
Nominations for Update's Quote of the Year have piled up over the months and even though two weeks remain in the year, uh, the front-running quote looks hard to beat. Comes from the former member of Tony Orlando and Dawn, Tony Orlando himself. [Photo of Tony Orlando] It was on Bob Hope's seventy-fifth birthday special that Tony said, and I quote here, [slowly and solemnly] "If you could put all the laughs that Bob Hope has gotten, one after another, they would stretch all the way to the universe and fill up the black hole in space." Unquote. Jane?

ditto
does Jerry just do the first 3 hours and the last 90 mins? seems that way.

slightly off-topic, but i wonder if anyone in his circle ever tried telling him that he is much funnier playing "himself" (like in the bellhop or buddy love or the king of comedy) than he is doing the manchild character that he made his reputation on
