* An early [[Recap/DiagnosisMurderS1E3MurderAtTheTelethon episode]] of ''Series/DiagnosisMurder'' involves Mark organizing a telethon to raise money to keep Community General's ER open, getting former tv show host Buddy Blake to be the MC. Seeing as how the episode is called "Murder at the Telethon", unsurprisingly there is in fact [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a murder at the telethon.]] Specifically, that of AssholeVictim Buddy.

* ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyBravo'': "Johnny Telethon" features a public access telethon to raise money to save the local discount store. Because the Tingblad Family Chimps weren't able to make it to the show, Johnny improvises by showing off his armpit-farting talents.

* In an episode of ''Series/{{Friends}}'', Joey is asked to assist with a telethon. He thinks he has been invited to host and arrives in a tuxedo, but discovers that he is actually one of the volunteers assisting with answering the phones. During the broadcast he tries to draw attention by waving to the camera, only for the person sitting next to him to smack his hand away. He eventually takes a donation from Phoebe that gets them over the target amount and leads to the actual host coming over to thank him (and compliment him for dressing up).

Added DiffLines:

* ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'': In "[[Recap/EdEddNEddyS2E7HandsAcrossEd Hands Across Ed]]", Eddy starts a telethon scam in order to pay for Ed's "eyebrow operation". It ultimately doesn't work as the acts stink, so Kevin and Rolf start their own show.
