Ed Sullivan gives Jack an award - Last show of the season

quality of product is essential to continuing success and outstanding examples. Yes Lucky Strike means fine tobacco, so round, so firm, so fully packed, so free and easy on the draw. LS MFT, LS MFT. Program starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston, Phil Harris, Rochester, Dagestad, yours fully done, Wilson.

Ladies and gentlemen, since tonight is our last broadcast of the season, I would like to pay tribute to the star of our show. Fifteen years ago, a kind and gracious young man started his radio career at the tender age of 37.

I was awfully tender. And tonight, fifteen years later, he's still kind, still gracious, and still 37. And here he is, Jack Goody. I give him a hug again. There's a Jag Betty talking about it.

That was a very silly statement to make. If I was 37 and that was 15 years ago today, I'd be 49. You mean 52? I can get it wholesale. Anyway, for your information, Don, when I started a radio 15 years ago, I was 22.

What are you talking about? I knew you'd been and you had gray hair. Don, I was born with gray hair. I was worried about the doctor bill. I'm glad I didn't pay him, slapping me when my back was hurt.

And, John, here's an amazing coincidence. If you read it in the story, you wouldn't believe it. After all these years, who do you think is sitting in the audience this very moment? The doctor. No, his lawyer. The case comes up in court.

Anyway, John, since this is the last program of the year, I've got a surprise for you. I'm giving everybody a bonus. Here's a check for you. Well, thanks, Jack. I know it isn't much, but it'll help you get back to California.
