Remembering Jerry Lewis
“We would join other radio and TV telethon hosts from around the country and meet with Jerry in Las Vegas for telethon meetings and promotional photos,” says Kelly, pictured here with Lewis in this 1974 promotional photo that was on display inside every 7/11 store in the San Diego area. At the time Kelly was doing afternoon drive at the legendary KCBQ/San Diego and hosting the syndicated TV game show for kids, Words-A-Poppin.
As Kelly told RAMP, “All of us in radio and television who worked with Jerry Lewis owe him a tremendous debt of thanks for letting us help him raise money for ‘Jerry’s Kids.'”
