The Jell-O program starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston and Phil Harris in his orchestra. The orchestra opens a program with Go South, young man from the Cotton Club Review. Whether it's a company dinner or just a regular family affair, any meal will be a greater success.
If it's topped off with a delicious dessert, then no dessert is more delicious or more popular than Jell-O. Jello is a grand dessert, easy to prepare, well to look at and luscious to taste. Jello is crammed with extra-rich fruit flavor.
A true fruit goodness that rivals the flavor of fresh ripe fruit itself. But remember this, there's only one jello, and only jello brings you that special extra-rich fruit flavor. So if you want to top your dinner with a dessert that will be an assured success, serve jello.
But be sure you get genuine jello, don't accept any substitutes. Look for the big red letters on the box. They spell Jell-O. That was Go South, young man, from the Cotton Club reviews. And now, ladies and gentlemen, we bring you a man who every Sunday night at the same time, walks up to the microphone, looks at square in the eye and says...
Jell-O again, this is Jack Benny talking. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Well done, that was a cute opening, that was a nice introduction and nice teamwork, too, I thought. You and I certainly work well together, don't we?
Oh yes we do Jack, it's remarkable the way we seem to balance each other. What was that done? I say it's remarkable the way we balance each other. I think so. Of course we would have a little trouble on a sea saw.
