Legendary comedian Jerry Lewis hosted his 45th and final
21-and-a-half hour telethon in 2010. MDA continued the
telethon in shorter forms with different hosts and formats
through 2014 before officially abandoning the Labor Day
tradition.

Congress passed an act making Labor Day a legal holiday in the District
of Columbia and the territories. On June 28, 1894, President Grover
Cleveland
signed it into law. More than a century later, the true
founder of Labor Day has yet to be identified.

Many credit Peter J. McGuire, cofounder of the American Federation
of Labor, while others have suggested that Matthew Maguire, a
secretary of the Central Labor Union, first proposed the holiday.
