In the 20th century telethons were a popular way to raise money for charities. Often these were fundraisers to find a cure for deadly diseases, but did you know that in 1973 there was a telethon to raise money for highway safety? In the same theater where the Beatles made their American debut and where The Late Show with Stephen Colbert takes place today, Sammy Davis Jr. Hosted a 20-hour nationally-televised telethon for traffic safety. Long before I had any idea I would be working in the transportation field, I was one of the people in the audience at the Ed Sullivan Theater. The telethon was reported to be a failure and wasn’t repeated.
