J.P.F.L. The Jello program starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston, Phil Harris, Kenny Baker, and yours truly Don Wilson. The author opens the program with How Can I Thank You? You know, out here in Hollywood, the makeup men are famous for their ability to turn a talented actress into any of a dozen different characters, all gay and glamorous.
Well, I was thinking, you can do something like that, right in your own kitchen. Or you can turn one package of jello into any of a dozen different treats that are truly glamorous to look at and simply brand to eat.
Garnish your jello with seasonal fruits, mold it in shimmering layers. Serve it whipped light and frothy as air. Use jello for a crisply molded salad or tempting you relishes. Yes, there are as many ways to serve jello as there are days in the air.
But however you choose to serve Jell-O, you're sure of a success. For all six flavors bring you that delicious, extra-rich fruit flavor that can't be topped for sheer, satisfying goodness. So look for the big red letters when you buy.
They spell Jell-O. And now, ladies and gentlemen, we bring you our Master of Ceremonies. I could say he's one of the greatest comedians of all time.
I could say he's one of the most glamorous lovers of the screen. I could say he's an outstanding personality. Well, why don't you? All right, I will. Ladies and gentlemen, Jack Benny. Hello again, this is Jack Benny talking, and listen, Don, no more that I could say stuff.
For heaven's sake, if you have anything as nice as that on your mind, come out with it. I can take it. Well, at first I was going to Jack, but then I thought I'd better tone it down a bit, not make it too strong.
