Talks About His Christmas Party (AFRS)

The J.D.E.L.O. program brought to you by J.L.O. and J.L.O.Pudding starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston, Phil Harris, Dennis Day, Rochester, D.E.R.S., truly Don Wilson. The orchestra opens a program with, we did it before and we can do it again.

That was, we did it before and we can do it again from the Broadway show Banjo Eyes played by the orchestra. And now, ladies and gentlemen, we bring you a man who gave a big party last Thursday at his home in Beverly Hills.

A host whose Christmas dinner was the greatest thing since Harper's Bazaar diet, Jack Benny. Thank you, thank you. You log in, this is Jack Benny talking, and John, for a man who ate 15 stalks of celery, and heaven knows how many when I wasn't looking. You're a fine one to complain.

But after all, Jack, that's all there was to eat, celery and ham hocks. Ham hocks? I had turkey. You had ham hocks, sticking that feather duster in him didn't fool anybody. Look, it pulled Dennis because he asked for the breast.

Anyway, Don Hamhawks are marvelous. I'm crazy about him. Well, I'm glad of that because my wife says the next time you come to our house, that's all you're going to get. That's the cheapest thing I ever heard of.

You've got a backyard full of chicken. Anyway, Don, regardless of what you say, my party was a success. Hello, Jack. Oh, hello, Mary. Say, Jack, you notice anything new today? Well, let's see. Are you wearing a new dress?

No. New shoes? No. New pocketbook? No. Well, I give up. What's new about you? I'm wearing that lousy mascara. You gave me for Christmas. Now, just a minute, young lady, and that gorgeous hand-painted gift box.
