Transcript

Company presents the Abbot and Costello Kid Show, transcribed in Hollywood, with our guest darn armagene Nelson cookie on the Blondie Show, and featuring the Luca Stella Junior Youth Foundation Award. Every Saturday morning on this program, some lucky boy or girl received hundreds of dollars with the valuable gifts, and the Luca Stella Junior Youth Foundation

Gold Trophy for good citizenship. Every boy and girl in the country is eligible for this award. We'll tell you how to win it later on the program, but first let's have some last to our stars, Ben Abbott and Lucas Delart.
