The J.E.E.T.O.T. The J.E.E.T.O.T. program starring Jack Benny with Barry Livingston, Phil Harris, Dennis Day, and yours truly, Don Wilson. The orchestra opens the program with, The Son Will Be Up in the Morning. The Son Will Be Up in the Morning.

Today, ladies and gentlemen, the word jello means more than it ever did before. Today it not only stands for jello, America's favorite gelatin dessert, it also means jello puddings. Those three swell ready prepared puddings that have now been added to the popular jello family.

Both jello and jello puddings are unsurpassed for rich tempting flavors. Both are easy and inexpensive to serve and delightfully good. And both bear that famous name jello, a name that stands for tops and polity, a name that spells extra enjoyment and complete satisfaction.

As you know, jello is a trademark, the property of general food. So be sure to mention it whenever you ask the grocer for jello puddings or any of jello's six delicious flavors, Strawberry, raspberry, cherry, orange, lemon or lime.

And by the way, if you haven't enjoyed strawberry or raspberry jello recently, do so real soon. Because now they taste better than ever. Each has a new improved flavor obtained by using a natural flavor base artificially enhanced.

And that's what gives those two popular flavors that rich distinctive jello goodness, the goodness that made jello America's favorite gelatin dessert. As the sun will be up in the morning played by the orchestra. And now, ladies and gentlemen, this being the hottest week of the year in Southern California, we bring you a man who can hardly stand it in his long underwear, Jack Benny.

Thank you. Mm, itches. Uh, you know, you know again, this is Jack Benny talking. And, uh, Don, let me tell you about my underwear. I don't care what the thermometer says, I'm strictly a calendar man.
