Jay-Dee, now help! Ohhhhhh! The Jell-O program starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston, Phil Harris, Dennis Day, and yours truly, Don Wilson. The orchestra opens the program with, yes, yes, in your eyes. Ahhhhhh! Snowy white Easter rabbits, gaily colored Easter eggs, flower bedecked Easter bonnets, red, blue, white, green, yellow, everywhere you turn on Easter, the keynote is color.

In fact, that's one reason why so many thousands of families today choose a beautiful jello dessert for dinner. Jello is as bright and colorful as an Easter parade, a perfect picture of tempting goodness, the center of attention at every table, and believe me, it's every bit as appetizing as it is attractive.

Jello, you know, comes in six brilliant shimmering colors, and whichever you choose, you get a world of swell, delicious flavor, rich tangy flavor, and a refreshment that rivals the ripe juicy fruit itself. So enjoy this grand dessert often.

Ask your grocer for several packages of Jello tomorrow. And when you buy, look for the big red letters on the box. They spell Jello and Jello spells a treat. That was, there's yes, yes in your eyes played by the orchestra.

And now, ladies and gentlemen, I bring you a man who last Sunday gave us his interpretation of the hunchback of Notre Dame. Now, I will not say that his performance surpassed Charles Lutton's. Well, no.

I will not even say that his performance equaled Charles Loughton. Well, uh... In fact, let's forget about Loughton and bring you Jack Benny. Uh, you know again, this is Jack Benny talking, and Don, when you criticize my performance last Sunday, well, that's just silly.

That's like trying to run down the Gettysburg Address. It can't be done. In other words, Jack, you feel that you made history last Sunday night? Definitely. Now I'll concede I can't become a great dramatic actor in one week, but you'll have to admit that when I played Quasimodo the hunchback I got off to a flying shark.
