I love the annual Chabad Telethon…and I doubt the folks behind the recent ones will be offended if I say that I liked it better back when Jan Murray was its host. Here's a clip from 1991 with Bob Hope making one of those pitches that was read right off the cue cards with zero comprehension. At the end, Murray says the obligatory kind words about Mr. Hope taking the three minutes to do this but Jan can't resist pointing out that pronouncing Jewish names was not Bob's strong suit.
