J.E.T.L.F. All! The Jell-O program starring Jack Benny with Barry Livingston and Phil Harris and his orchestra. The orchestra opens the program with hallelujah, things look rosy now. Things the time to wake up and live, swing into the new temple, go places and do things.

And you have much more time to go places and do things when you depend on Jell-O for dessert. For Jell-O's so easy to make. No need to spend long hours preparing a complicated dessert. You can make jello and a jiffy and it's bound to make a hit.

Where everybody goes for jello's refreshing flavor in a thick way. So serve jello soon for dessert in any one of its six flavors. Strawberry, raspberry, cherry, orange, lemon, and lime. But be sure you get the real thing, genuine jello.

For no other gelatin dessert has jello's extra-rich fruit flavor. Order jello tomorrow from your grocer. Ask for it by name and look for the big red letters on the box. They spell Jell-O. Hey, Mary. Mary, come here. Don't you love the way Phil wiggles around when he leaves the orchestra. Look at him.

Yeah, they can only see him fell. He sure is too though, isn't he? Yeah, but he doesn't have to show off so much after all of this in television. Jack, quiet! Your microphone's open. Why? Everybody can hear you.

Oh, oh, I'm sorry. I'm terribly sorry. Hey, Don. Don, I feel terrible about budding in like that. I hope I didn't spoil Phil's number.

Oh, that's all right, Jack. Nothing serious. Yeah, I hope so. That was Hallelujah. Things look rosy now, played by Phil Harris and his orchestra. And now, ladies and gentlemen, we bring you our genius... Hey, Jack! From now on, when I'm playing my opening number, I'd appreciate a little professional courtesy on your part.
