you see two men that love one another

Hey pallies, from the blogg tagged "Archive of American Television" comes an interview with the jer 'bout his long time association with the MDA telethon. If you clicks on the tagg of this Dinogram you can read the whole interview includin' how our Dino did some way early telethons with the jer.

What I have chosen to share with you is the portion of the interview where the jer tells 'bout that amazin' moment in Dinohistory at the 1976 telethon where the frankie brought our Dino and the kid back together. Enjoys readin' the jer's remembrance of that "incredible moment."

Does plan to post the Dinoclip of that Dinoevent on Labor Day as we remember and celebrate the day in Dinohistory when our Dino and the kid gots back together. Dinodevotedly, DMP btw, pallies, likes in addition on the original post there is a link to be able to view the whole interview that the jer gave.



On his 1976 reunion with Dean Martin on the telethon:
The other great moment that’s pretty close emotionally was when Frank [Sinatra] decided to bring Dean on and have us embrace, and stop the twenty years of silence, because it was twenty years we hadn’t talked. And Frank worked it out. He worked it out so that everyone in that studio, every member of my staff— nobody knew Dean was coming on. The only one that knew it was Ed McMahon. So I could never have heard about it. It was such a total surprise. And when you look at the footage and you see the look on my face and the look on his face you see two men that love one another. It was an incredible moment. It was great television.
