From Hollywood, the George Burns and Gracie Allen show for Hormel and Spam! Crazy people singing glee with us through these streets Last for Nalisten, who is Bob Houston?
The quiz question friends and we'll pay you to know the answer. Ready for the question? Alright, what is an easy way to serve the family a swell main course for dinner that costs for a few cents?
There's no magic about it, just open a can of Spam, S-P-A-M, and bake according to the simple directions on the label. It takes only a jiffy, and you'll set before the family a delicious taste surprise that satisfies even the huskiest appetite.
That's because spam is grand tasting meat, and baked, it certainly makes a hit. The perfect combination of juicy pork shoulder and ham meat, originated by Hormel, gives spam extra flavor, extra goodness. Try a spam bake for dinner tomorrow.
Just be sure you ask your food dealer for SPAM spam. The stars of our big happy family, George and Gracie! Thank you very, very much.
Tonight, ladies and gentlemen... Oh, George, where's Gracie? She's not here. Tonight, ladies and gentlemen... George, can you do a show without Gracie? Certainly I can do a show without her. Do you think I need Gracie?
Certainly, but he needs Gracie about as much as Dorothy LaMour needs a sarong. Oh, yeah? Well, listen, I happen to have a lot of talent and it will all answer you later. Hello? This is Stan's name. I was great.
Y'all speaking. Gracie, where are you? We're doing a broadcast. Yes, I'm supposed to be here. I couldn't get down on the phone with my granddaddy, very sick. He was on the phone. He was on the phone?
