Transcript

The Jell-O program brought to you by Jell-O and Jell-O Pudding, starring Jack Benny with Mary Leeringson, Phil Harris, Dennis A. Rochester and yours truly, Don Wilts. The orchestra opened the program with Be Young Again. Not just a little flavor. That was Be Young Again played by the orchestra. And now, ladies and gentlemen, let us take you back to last Wednesday night

and show you how Jack and the rest of us celebrated New Year's Eve. My little story opens at Jack's house around 7 p.m. where Jack assisted by Rochester is getting dressed for a big sign.

Rochester, where did you put the cufflinks for my dress shirt? The what? The pearl cufflinks. What happened to them? Don't you remember, boys? You said I could wear them to my lodge meeting the other night.

All right now, give me my cufflinks. Well, here's what happened, boys. One of them slipped out of my cup and rolled under the pool table. Uh-huh. And when I got down on my knees to pick it up, somebody faded me.

You were allowed to be... So you lost one of my links in a trap game. What happened to the other one? That lasted for about three passes and then been gold. That's a fine fix you put me in.

What do you expect me to do? Keep my hands in my pockets all evening? Why don't you stick one of me a best like Napoleon? Napoleon? People's Emperor Frank! I know what he was. You don't have to tell me about Napoleon.

My cousin Boo Boo was worn as hat sideways since he was 12 years old. Oh, well, I'll just have to roll these cups up a little and hope they stay there. Pardon me, Mr. Benny, but what conveyance are you planning on to take you to the Build More Bowls?
