Captain Janks prank calls the MDA Telethon back in 1991 disguised as Larry King and asks host Jerry Lewis what he thinks of Howard Stern, prompting Lewis to call Janks a "schmuck". Now, for the first time, the infamous (off-air) prank call set-up is included here. Janks calls MDA Telethon producer Jim Brown disguised as Larry's producer, "Pat Piper" and convinces him that Larry would like to come on-air via phone to make a donation to the telethon. After several back and fourth phone calls between the two of them, Janks convinces Jim Brown the call is legit by playing "snippets" of Larry King's voice with a cassette player into the phone. After what appears to be "Larry" on the phone, Jim transfers the call onto the live show, and Jerry Lewis.
