A seat inside a live television appeal for Easter Seals.
April 1, 1978, National Easter Seal Telethon
Why This Ticket Matters
Telethons brought entertainers, television casts and viewers together around a charitable cause. This admission ticket captures that format in 1978, when the National Easter Seal Telethon invited a studio audience to a long live broadcast in Hollywood.
The printed program names Jack Klugman as host and Shirley Jones as co-host, and advertises guests and casts from popular television programs. Those names describe the planned lineup printed on the ticket; they do not establish that every advertised guest appeared. As an artifact, the ticket connects a night of broadcast entertainment with Easter Seals’ work supporting people with disabilities.
