The show must go on.
For 66 years, the Fifth District Eagles Cancer Telethon had found ways to make sure that happened, and even a global pandemic couldn t stop the 67th consecutive show on Saturday.

The hosts were still live, though this time from KTTC-TV studios instead of the Civic Center. And the presentations and performances were recordings from past telethons rather than live on stage. Normally 20 hours, the show was shortened to eight.
