J.P.L.L. The Jell-O program coming to you from Hollywood, California starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston, Phil Harris, Dennis Day, and yours truly Don Wilson. The orchestra opens a program with Good Night, Moonlight. The sweetest words of tongue or pen are, let's have that same dessert again.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, those are the happy words that every housewife loves to hear. And believe me, those are the words you do hear whenever there's Jell-O for dessert. Because jello is a dessert that folks like to see on the table just as often as possible.
And no matter how often you serve jello, it never wears out its welcome. One reason is jello always looks so wonderfully good, with its bright colors reflecting all the rich beauty of fresh sun, ripe and fruit.
And jello always tastes so good too, no matter which one of jello's six delicious flavors you choose. There are the rich tempting flavors that recall the season's first strawberries, raspberries, and cherries. Also, Jellows' grand citrus flavors, orange, lemon, and lime, all of them just as gloriously refreshing as the dewy, fresh fruit itself.
So, friends, order some Jell-O from your grocery tomorrow, and while you're about it, ask for several packages of those popular new Jell-O puddings, Jell-O chocolate pudding, Jell-O vanilla pudding, and Jell-O butter scotch pudding. They're really swell!
The moonlight played by the orchestra, and now, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to announce that, next week marks our final appearance on the air for this season.
So tonight we bring you our master of ceremonies who has one more Sunday to greet you. That's right, Don. One more broadcast. Yes, sir. And one more paycheck. Yipe! Jack Benny! Uh, Gila, again, this is Jack Benny talking, and Don, here we are coming to the close of another season.
