Buck Harris - Jack has a cold so Phil and Kenny do the show

J-E-L-L-L-Oo! The Jell-O program starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston, Phil Harris, Kenny Baker, and yours truly, Don Wilson. The orchestra opens the program with This is It! The season opens, marbles, skipping rope, bicycles, baseball, new hats for wives and seed catalogues for husbands.

There's one word for it, spring, and there's one dessert for it, Jell-O. Jellows bright and glowing colors certainly suit the season, and Jellows delicious extra-rich fruit flavors are refreshing as bright springtime breeze. Serve it any way you like.

It's bound to make a hit. A shimmering mold of layered Jellows, perhaps strawberry, orange, and lime. A frothy bowl full of whipped Jellows in tempting pastel colors. Twinkling little Jellows cubes, maybe raspberry and lemon.

There are lots of ideas to choose from, and Jellows makes everyone a success. Well, that extra-rich fruit flavor tastes as delicious as the real ripe fruit. And that's why Jello desserts are so satisfying every time.

So look for the big red letters on the box. They spell Jello, and Jello spells a treat. This is it played by the orchestra. Now, ladies and gentlemen, every Sunday at this time, it is my custom to bring you Jack Benny.

Tonight, however, Jack is confined to his house with a slight cold. Slide, I went to see him this morning and there was a man with a sickle sitting on his bed. Oh, he isn't that bad.

Say, how Jack get that cold anyway? Well, he got it from Carmichael, his polar bear. Well, it's his own fault. He shouldn't have kissed him. It wasn't that. Jack's been taking care of him, and that's how it happened.

Boy, between Jack and that polar bear, Rochester sure got his hands full. He certainly has. Well, anyway, let's get on with the program. Now, folks, in as much as Jack is unable to be here tonight, Phil, Kenny, and I are going to try to bring your own little Joe with me off to you.
