The R-J’s Clarke also previews the lineup of Jerry Lewis’ upcoming Labor Day Telethon in a recent column:

Joining Lewis from 6 p.m. Sept. 3 to 3:30 p.m. Sept. 4 at the South Coast will be resident headliners Louie Anderson, Lance Burton, Celine Dion, Clint Holmes and Rita Rudner. Barry Manilow, whose double hip surgery will keep him home, will send a tape.

Other comedians mentioned: Max Alexander, Ray Romano and, as always, one of a half-dozen hosts relieving Lewis will be Bob Zany.
