Sensitive to economic conditions, Playaz hold Telethon for themselves

In the midst of a plummeting stock market, failed financial institutions, and soaring gas prices, the Playaz held a fund raising telethon, benefitting themselves.

The Playaz were able to raise approximately eighty-five million dollars, thanks to generous donations made over the course of their prime-time, 24 hour broadcast that was host to a multitude of celebrities and entertainers.

Special guests such as Ray Stevens performed, as well as Tony Orlando and the lone living Hager Twin, Jon Hager.

The Playaz present Tony Orlando with the naming of a street after him, conditioned upon Orlando
making a generous donation. After review of Orlando's financial records, the street name was revoked

The phone banks were manned by notables such as President Bush, Dian Parkinson, Fidel Castro, and Queen Elizabeth II, among others.

The Playaz and the entertainers used incredible amounts of narcotics, including 'comet dust', to keep them going for the 24 hours. The show grew increasingly bizarre as the night wore on. At one point, there was a solid 64 minutes of air time devoted to an obviously high Wayne giving a dissertation on Lasik surgery and it's benefits.

However, that did not deter the viewing public into giving the Playaz the money they so adamantly demanded.
