Transcript

The J.E.L.O. program starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston, Phil Harris, Dennis Day, and yours truly, Don Wilson. The orchestra opens the program with On the Road to Pismo Beach. You know, ladies and gentlemen, once J.E.L.O. has become a favorite dessert in any family, it usually stays a family favorite from then on.

Every day we get letters from folks telling us how they've been enjoying J.E.L.O. for years and enjoying it more and more all the time. And there's a reason for this too. Jello is just so downright delightful that once you try it, no other dessert ever seems quite so gay and beguiling, quite so rich in rare tantalizing flavors as Jello. And another

reason why Jello is such a year after year favorite in most homes is because it can be served in so many different ways. Using Jello's six delicious flavors, strawberry, raspberry, cherry, orange, lemon, and lime.

Incidentally, if you haven't tried strawberry and raspberry jello recently, do so real soon. Both are now better than ever, with a new improved flavor obtained by using a natural flavor base artificially enhanced. And the result is something mighty distinctive.

A truly unique goodness. Why not enjoy a grand dessert made with bright tempting jello tomorrow? That was on the road to pissball beach played by the orchestra.

And now, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to announce that last Monday, a great and well-deserved honor was bestowed upon our illustrious Master of Ceremony. Oh, Don, do you have to tell everything? For many years now, the outstanding stars of Hollywood have been selected to inscribe their footprints in the forecourt of Gromman's Chinese theatre as a tribute to their supreme artistry.
