- Here's a mini-finale of the 1987 Jerry Lewis Telethon. This was the time in the shows history since 1973 where the $1 dollar more goal was raised with over 90 to go in the telecast, allowing for a lot of fun, pride and pure entertainment.
I've included the $1 more tymp, a speech by Jerry, Sammy Davis Jr. opening the final hour, a touching moment when he's interrupted by a tympani, Bob Sampson's final few words that year and the last part of the duet that Jerry & Sammy sing to close the show. Jerry can't contain his thrill - watch!!

Jerry lewis is the most generous, kind, sweet man and humanitarian ! And my silly,funny clown who made us all laugh and will always be in my heart, RIP MY FUNNY CLOWN XOXO
Cool. How were you related?
Still doesn't seem like Labour Day without Jerry and Ed raising money for this cause. R.I.P, guys. 🕊
This is the great man that the MDA threw away like yesterdays garbage. Jerry making telethon magic, God bless you Jerry it will always be your telethon.
Telethons were the highlight of my childhood cuddling next to my Dad and watching Jerry and "the stars come out." Rest In Peace, Jerry.
Did you or your dad ever contribute? LOL...
Sammy Davis Jr was emotional because he UNDERSTOOD that his five minutes on stage raised a TON of money for a worthy cause. He saw it in real time.
And, so did his hip. LOL...

This was an annual event that made you proud to be an American---we came together to celebrate our icons of entertainment and give as a nation to support a cause. GREAT MEMORIES.
It sure was
it was really rare to see Sammy davis jr. get so overcome w/ emotion that he had to leave the stage in tears.
Its Not labor day anymore without the Telethon!
It was really rare to see Sammy Davis Jr. get so overcome w/ emotion that he started crying!
Sammy knew that payments were due on his jewelry, and that he was financially broke.
This segment from '87 has to be the 2nd greatest moment in the telethon's history, next to the reunion with Dean. And I agree with the other posts in this group. It didn't matter that Jerry was too old or unappealing, it was still HIS show, for 45 YEARS!! There's a reason they named the damn thing after him. He raised $2.5B for MDA and the way they tossed him out like a bag of garbage was totally unacceptable... and unforgiving!!
Jerry should have left around 1999. Most of "The Love Network" only aired parts of the show after this time.
@@johnsjohnson448 My local affiliate ceased airing the telethon coverage after 1998 because the decision was made to not broadcast 24 hours a day in early 1999 as a cost-cutting measure. The station resumed airing the telethon in 2003 to commemorate their 50th anniversary on the air.
I was there, I had just moved to Vegas in August of 87, What a joy!
Wow..
...the most successful Telethon ever: the earliest time that the previous year's total was broken, the 5 million dollar final difference from the previous year; that this difference was not due to an increase in the size of the LOVE network, as in the early 1970's, and the best talent on television that year (including Sammy Davis Jr's best performances ever) ; sheer perfection; Bravo, Jerry!
It's rare to see Sammy Davis Jr. get so overcome w/ emotion on National TV that he had to leave the stage in tears.
jose you rock that is why i have watch the telethon and give every year thanks jose again you rock and even jerry lewis rocks dam i miss jerry doing the telethon as well as bob sampson may he rest in peace keep putting videos like this one on youtube with jerry and ed getting that one dollar more

I miss Jerry and I will not donate until Jerry comes back, period.
I miss the labor day telethon
His eyes lite up like a young child
I feel wonderful watching now, and at the time I was less than a year old. Whould've guessed I'd be an indirect recipient of this work.
sammy davis jr had a emonitional meltdown in front of his best friend Jerry Lewis
rachel ames : Under the circumstances, nothing wrong with that.
RIP Jerry and Ed!
Jerry is the best!!!!
Como é bom ver um Teleton com esses astros de primeira grandeza.
Sammy gave it everything he had everytime.
This was on KHJ (KCAL) Channel 9 in Los Angeles CA
Jerry knew what to do in order to hit his goal Jerry was on top of hisgame he always brought his A game to the table
One single entertainer A purpose and commitment to patient care produced the finest live television event for over 50 years. M D A will go on to serve its client and Their families. The telethons(good & not so good) are gone now, opting for the 19 dollar a month Concept. As we honor the of the life, and passing of Jerry Lewis, August 20th 2017.
I will Never Forget the hours of pleasure i spent watching Television with a purpose.
I also will Hate M D A Shabby way he was removed as National Chairman.
In The words of Jerry Lewis " for those who understand no explanation is necessary "
For those who do not No Explanation will suffice.
Jerry was wonderful. He made so much money for MDA and this how they treat him. His love for his "kids" young and old were very sincere. There will never be another Jerry Lewis and Ed McMahon Sammy Davis Jr. Or a Frank Sinatra. They contributed their time for this cause. May they all walk on. God Bless you all.
Also to his dieing day it was never important to him to let the public know why he choose to make his life work. It was so important to him clear back to the time to his Dean and Jerry days. It was so great when Dean choose the reunion to take place on the telethon. Come to think about it I bet Dean probably know why Jerry did this all those years, he took it to his grave too. Never be another person who choose to make a show like this for a personal reason, only know to themselves. No matter what you think about him as a person.... He sure did all he could to help this cause... RIP Jerry
I was just 3 when this aired.
JERRY AND SAMMY ARE TRYING TO NOT HAVE AN EMONTIONAL BREAKDOWN ON NATIONAL TV DURING THE 1987 MDA TELETHON. (SD EVENTUALLY GETS TOO OVERWHELMED AND HAS A EMONTIONAL BREAKDOWN.)
4:41-5:52 If Your Looking For My Favorite Moment From Sammy Davis Jr Here You Go
4:58-5:11 My Favorite Moment From The Boogie
RIP Jerry
you have to feel wonderful
This must come out of Los Angeles KHJ-TV(now KCAL-TV)California 9.
@handymanm same here.it was a tradition.i watched last year and man!!!!!!! was very disappointed.yes its a worthy cause and i do give but the host and entire show was just sad.after all jerry lewis has done,they threw him under the bus like that.unbelieveable.
by the way when i said 4 that was the year 88 when the telethon cracked the 40 millon dollar mark
from 34,096,773 to see that big number you have to feel wonderful with that dollar total and more a ton more a heck of a figure on the board and by process of elimation it was 88 ed was asking for a number 4 well jerry got that to and that was the last year of the telethon at cesars palace in las vegas
Where would the MDA be today without all the time and effort (and no doubt money) Jerry so kindly donated to them over all those years in the hope a cure would be found. Shameful!
Lasted about two years after they fired Jerry. Worst move they ever made
hey jose what was jerrys expresson when the board hit 40 millon back in 88 if you have the roll to the 1.00 more and then to 40 millon
Should have never canceled the telephone too many people depended on it
