I didn't know Sabado Gigante had another name. My husband and I have seen his show sometimes when we've flipped through channels. I, of course, don't really know what's going on, but my husband knows a little Spanish. It's great that he's doing a telethon. In the U.S., a famous American comedian, Jerry Lewis, does a telethon for kids with Muscular Dystrophy on Labor Day.
In Chile, Don Francisco long time ago copied the idea to Jerry Lewis. I knew about the Telethon of Jerry Lewis. Furthermore I`m Jerry Lewis` fan.
