J.D. Health Health. Oh! The Jello program brought to you by Jello and Jello Pudding, starring Jack Benney with Mary Livingston, Phil Harris, Dennis Day, Rochester, and yours, Julie Don Wilson. The orchestra opens the program with I Am an American!

Year after year, Jello keeps getting better and better. And today, Jello is richer, more delicious than it's ever been before. The reason for this extra goodness is a new Jello process that locks in Jello's famous flavor and makes it even more tempting, even more enjoyable.

Jello is a beautiful dessert radiant with color and glistening with goodness. And its swell flavor, so tangy and refreshing, makes you think that you're actually tasting the ripe juicy fruit itself. Yes, Jello's marvelous flavor is gloriously good, a flavor that everybody loves. And now that it's locked in, Jello's grand flavor reaches a new peak in pleasure.

But prove it for yourself. Open a package of Jello. Notice that there's no sweet fruity odor, no telltale aroma to warn of escaping flavor. Then dissolve the tiny jello particles and notice the way jello's captive goodness comes pouring out with a rush of delicious fragrance and flavor. Ask your grocer tomorrow for several packages of jello.

You'll find that jello is better and richer than ever now that its flavor is lost in. Americans played by the orchestra. Now ladies and gentlemen as you all know, Next Tuesday, March the 17th, the St. Patrick's Day.

So, instead of my usual hack need, introduction this evening... You can sit down, now, Jack. Hmm? Sit down. Oh, hmm. So, instead of my usual hack need, introduction, it gives me extreme pleasure to bring to you a young Irish lad who has become a great success on this program.
