Transcript

The Jell-O program starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston, Phil Harris, Dennis Day, and yours truly, Don Wilson. The orchestra opens the program with Beat Me Daddy with a pickled beat. Did you ever go out into an orchard, ladies and gentlemen, and pick fresh ripe fruit right off the trees?

Do you see bright colored fruit still warm in the summer sun? Well, it's just such pleasant memories as this that come to mind when you enjoy Jell-O. For Jell-O actually rivals the real right fruit itself, both in color and refreshment.

Jell-O's gays scintillating colors make Jell-O attempting an attractive dessert. A dessert that always adds lots of charm and good cheer to every meal. And in Jell-O's full-body tantalizing flavor, you experience a delight that's simply unexcaled.

A tangy goodness that you'll insist on enjoying again and again. So get Jell-O tomorrow. In all of Jell-O's six delicious flavors, delicious flavors, strawberry, raspberry, cherry, orange, lemon, and lime. Just one taste of this grand treat, and you'll know right away why rich, shimmering, genuine jello is America's favorite gelatin dessert.

Does beet be daddy with a pickled beet flavor? Oh, god, that's true. And now, ladies and gentlemen, for the next to the final broadcast of the season, we bring you a man who came to you last October, freshes a daisy, and is now standing here faded as a future Jack Benny.

Well, Jill, again, this is Jack Benny talking. And Don, I'm sure glad we've only got one more program to do. After 35 consecutive weeks of broadcasting, I'm worn out. Boy, I'm all in. Oh, Jack, radio isn't as tough as all that.

When you come right down to it, you only broadcast one day a week. I know Don, but think of all the preparation, the jokes, and the new ideas I have to have. Tell you, I'm exhausted.
