J-E-L-L-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O The Jello program coming to you from Hollywood, California starring Jack Benny with Barry Livingston, Phil Harris, Dennis Day, and yours truly, John Wilson. The orchestra opens the program with, goodbye Broadway, hello, figure all of the street.
Today, ladies and gentlemen, those big red letters on the box mean twice as much as they ever did before. For the day the name Jello not only means America's favorite gelatin dessert, it also stands for those rich creamy jello puddings.
Jello puddings are so downright delicious and so quick and easy to make, they're winning new friends every day. With jello puddings all you have to do is add milk, bring to a boil, and pour into sherbet glasses to cool.
And there almost before you know it, you've made the family a smooth creamy pudding with the mellow flavor so grand that it outrivals any other pudding you ever tasted. So the next time you ask your grocer for Jell-O, ask him for Jell-O puddings too.
In all free flavors chocolate, vanilla, and butter scotch. And when you buy, be sure to name Jell-O's on the package. Jell-O is a trademark, the property of general foods. And it identifies two of the finest desserts that ever graced the dinner table, Jell-O and Jell-O's creamy puddings.
As goodbye Broadway, hello figure, Rose Street, played by the orchestra. And now, ladies and gentlemen, it is with great pleasure that I bring you a man with whom I have been associated for many years.
A man whose friendship and thought of it... Hold it, Don, hold it. We've got a long play to do tonight, so you needn't bother with the introductions. But Jack, I had a very special reason for wanting to do it.
