Transcript

From Hollywood, the George Burns and Gracie Alan Show for Hormel and Spam. Crazy people are the showways of Kistro, singing glee with a smoothie sleeve. Last but not least, and with Bud Heston.

Hank Brinks another Burns and Alan Show to your house, and in just one sentence, I'm going to tell you why Spam is so popular with families everywhere.

Ready? When you buy Spam, you know exactly what you're getting. For just as shown on the label, Spam is pure pork shoulder with ham meat added, your guarantee of goodness and quality, and combine that with the many uses for this delicious meat.

It's only natural that Spam is a hit, cold or hot, as you'll discover by trying the easy recipes on the label after you buy Spam when you shop tomorrow, and please Mr. Shaw, I'm running out of breath, but I'm all through, so put up musical period on this for me, please.

They are those two Spam Bassadors of Fun, George and Gracie! Thank you very much. Hello, Gracey. Say, you should have been with me Saturday night.

I went to a party at Irene Dunshouse. By the way, but what's Irene Dun doing? Dun doing. Oh, do I have to use this bag? Kind of English is that. I said, what's Irene Dun doing?

It means, what's Irene Dun? Gracey, isn't Irene Dun a motion picture star? Oh, yes. I saw her in my favorite light. Well, that's the picture that Irene Dun did. Dun did? Well, that's even worse than done doing.

Well, George, maybe I can help you. You see, Gracie, Irene Dunn told me that doesn't mean... Dunn told you! Oh, what did Irene Dunn told you all, Rochester? Look, Gracie, when Irene Dunn does a picture, it doesn't mean that Irene Dunn done a picture.
