No Date For Jack

J.D. Altheft. Ooooooooh! The Jello program starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston, Phil Harris, Dennis Day, and yours truly, Don Wilson. The orchestra opens the program with, do I love you? The Jello program with, do I love you?

I often think, ladies and gentlemen, that we should celebrate the end of a good meal the same way we celebrate the end of a good year on New Year's Eve. You know, with a smile, with lots of rejoicing and good cheer.

Well, the happy ending to a meal merely calls for the right dessert. A swell topper offer like jello. You can serve jello in dozens of different ways and know it will be a grand success.

For one thing, jello looks so good with its brilliant glowing colors that seem to say, here you pick up a spoon and begin. And for another thing, jello tastes so grand because it has an exciting, extra-rich flavor.

A flavor is refreshing and delightful as the real ripe fruit itself. Just be sure of one thing when you buy. Be sure to look for the name Jell-O on the package. Well that name is a trademark.

It's the property of general foods and it tells you here's the real thing. The one and only Jell-O. So remember those big red letters spell Jell-O and Jell-O spells a treat. I love you played by the orchestra.

And now ladies and gentlemen in just a few short hours we will welcome in the New Year 1940. So without further ado, we bring you a man who was once 19 and once 40, Jack Benny.

Uh, Jell-O again, this is Jack Benny, who was rapidly closing in on social security talking. And Don, you can go right ahead and kid about my age because I'm not the least bit sensitive. Remember that famous saying, Don, a man is just as old as he feels.
