Telethon to Come to L.A.: The Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon, an entertainment fixture in Las Vegas for 17 years, will move to Los Angeles this year, officials of the Muscular Dystrophy Assn. said Wednesday. “We’ve always brought most of the talent in from Los Angeles,” said association spokesman Jerry Weinberg. “It was much more cost effective to move to Los Angeles.” The telethon has raised more than half a billion dollars during its 17-year run in Las Vegas, including last year’s record $42 million.
