Speaker 1 (00:16):
Welcome to classic comedy of old time radio. I'm your host,
Ron Eckelberger. Jelo Again, Jack's boyhood friend who is now
mayor of his hometown, visits Jack and the Gang. This episode,
entitled Visit from Monsel Talcott, Mayor of Wakegan, Illinois, is
(00:38):
the two hundred and fiftieth Jack Benny Show and it
originally aired on March twenty one, nineteen thirty seven.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
The Jello Program Coming to You from the Grand Ballroom
of the Hotel PR starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston
and Abe Lyman and his Orchestra, The Orchestra from the
program with Jeeve and your Swap. You've haven't seen the
(01:20):
hallmark on gold or silver, but perhaps you never knew
why it is there. It's there as the symbol that
the article which.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Bears the mark is genuine.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
In the same way the name Gello on the package
is your assurance the product in that package is genuine Jello.
And so the reason I keep emphasizing those big red
letters is this Jello is a gelatine desserts. The name
Jello is a trademark belonging to General Food. When you
see the main red letters on the block, you know
You're getting genuine jello made by General Food. So if
(01:50):
you hear any other flavored gelatin dessert referred to as jello,
you'll know that is incorrect. Or there is only one Jello,
and only Jello brings you that extra fruit flavor. That's
why Jello is the most popular jelet dessert in the
entire world today. So be sure you get the real thing.
Always insists on genuine jello. And now we bring you
(02:35):
the man who came to New York for arrest and
has to go back to Hollywood to get it. Jack
Playboy Benny's glow again. I got this born left over
from last night, folks, and I want to tell you, Don,

Speaker 2 (04:40):

different about me tonight?
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Already?
Speaker 3 (04:48):
No?
Speaker 2 (04:48):
What cat to see those cat can see those dark
rings under my eyes?
Speaker 3 (04:57):
H see, I thought it was mass Scara.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Well, lady, hey, Jack, give me that hard will you?
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (05:03):
No, this horn and a chicken sandwich cost me fourteen dollars.
Say Kenny, we met you last Sunday when you had
to go back to Hollywood. How did your picture turn out?
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Oh? Swell deck, you know if Phil Harrison is in
it too, and old boy.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
And the girls at the studio hanging around here, oh,
taking my place? Huh huh.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Nah, these are young girls, say Kenny.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Who has the love interest in your pictures?
Speaker 4 (05:25):
I have?
Speaker 2 (05:25):
And there's one place where I sing a love song
to the leading lady right under her balcony. Yeah. And
when I finished, she smiles and throws the rolls at me,
and then she comes running down the steps.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Yeah, and then what happened? So that's when Phil Harris
takes her over.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Oh that's not very fair. Don't you feel badly?
Speaker 3 (05:40):
No? I got a rolls out of it.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Well, when I get back to Hollywood, he'll have some
real competition. I learned plenty here on the gay White Waves.
Hello you little Destriata. Oh hello Mary, stay gone, Yes,
take that heart away before he plays.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
The be on it.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
And I'll tell you, Mary, I've just worn to a
frattle from the constant Hurley Burley.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
In excitement.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
I gotta go somewhere where I can be alone for
a couple of hours. Why didn't you find out where
your last picture is? Playing? Man? Don't be no playing,

Tonight parties and night twubs. I tell you I'm getting

You couldn't get a ringside table at the Automast, Oh
I couldn't they?
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Oh kidding Mary?
Speaker 2 (06:25):
I really think that Jack has turned out to be
a pretty wild sort of a guy. Oh yeah, he
went to Minsky's the other night. Didn't stained it during
the opening chorus? Well, it was hot in there. I
wasn't whoa Kenny.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Let's drop all this talk.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
I'm on the ragged edge now, and they play something
soothing with this so I can sort of pull myself together. Okay,
say Jack, when you go out tonight, you want to
try something that'll pick you right up?
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Hey, what is it?
Speaker 3 (06:52):
A striker's cocktail?
Speaker 2 (06:54):

Speaker 2 (06:57):
I can spikers a drinker's cocktail? What's that one drink?
Speaker 3 (07:02):
And you sit down?
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Oh no, not me. I can hold my own. Why

Better be careful, Jack, You keep this up and you
look as bad as spread Alan. Now wait a minute, Liman,
you're talking about my pal. You say one word against Allan,
I'll have him knock your block off. And I'm the
guy that can tell him. Freddie and I may have
(07:28):

spark of loyal friendship that can never be extinguished. Play

Okay, say, look, there's still a customer.

In the store.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Well lock him in.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
We'll get him tomorrow in that good old summer time. Officially,
this is the first damn spring, and wherever you are,
here's the spring for your menus. It's called tropical dessert
made with tangy sunshiny lemon jewel. And it's easy to
(27:58):
make too, just as all one pie your lemon jello
in one pint of hot water, chill until slightly thickened,
and then pulled in four fags and eight dates chopped
fine and one banana thinley spice bold, and serve either
plain or with whipped cream. It's gay to look at
and downright delicious to taste when I'm planning to serve
this tempting springtime dessert soon, but be sure you make
(28:20):
it with genuine jello or jello has that extra rich
fruit flavor flavor from fresh ripe fruit. So ask your
grocer for jello by name and looked for the big
red letters on the box.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
They spell Jello.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
The last number of the twenty fifth program in the
New Jello series, and will be with you again next

Welcome to classic comedy of old time radio. I'm your host,
Ron Eckelberger. Jelo Again, Jack's boyhood friend who is now
mayor of his hometown, visits Jack and the Gang. This episode,
entitled Visit from Monsel Talcott, Mayor of Wakegan, Illinois, is
(00:38):
the two hundred and fiftieth Jack Benny Show and it
originally aired on March twenty one, nineteen thirty seven.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
The Jello Program Coming to You from the Grand Ballroom
of the Hotel PR starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston
and Abe Lyman and his Orchestra, The Orchestra from the
program with Jeeve and your Swap. You've haven't seen the
(01:20):
hallmark on gold or silver, but perhaps you never knew
why it is there. It's there as the symbol that
the article which.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Bears the mark is genuine.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
In the same way the name Gello on the package
is your assurance the product in that package is genuine Jello.
And so the reason I keep emphasizing those big red
letters is this Jello is a gelatine desserts. The name
Jello is a trademark belonging to General Food. When you
see the main red letters on the block, you know
You're getting genuine jello made by General Food. So if
(01:50):
you hear any other flavored gelatin dessert referred to as jello,
you'll know that is incorrect. Or there is only one Jello,
and only Jello brings you that extra fruit flavor. That's
why Jello is the most popular jelet dessert in the
entire world today. So be sure you get the real thing.
Always insists on genuine jello. And now we bring you
(02:35):
the man who came to New York for arrest and
has to go back to Hollywood to get it. Jack
Playboy Benny's glow again. I got this born left over

Speaker 3 (05:02):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (05:03):

Speaker 3 (05:11):
Oh? Swell deck, you know if Phil Harrison is in

Speaker 2 (05:14):
And the girls at the studio hanging around here, oh,

Speaker 2 (05:22):
Who has the love interest in your pictures?
Speaker 4 (05:25):
I have?
Speaker 2 (05:25):
And there's one place where I sing a love song
to the leading lady right under her balcony. Yeah. And
when I finished, she smiles and throws the rolls at me,
and then she comes running down the steps.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Yeah, and then what happened? So that's when Phil Harris
takes her over.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Oh that's not very fair. Don't you feel badly?
Speaker 3 (05:40):
No? I got a rolls out of it.

frattle from the constant Hurley Burley.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
In excitement.

try something that'll pick you right up?
Speaker 3 (06:51):

I'll have him knock your block off. And I'm the

make too, just as all one pie your lemon jello
in one pint of hot water, chill until slightly thickened,
and then pulled in four fags and eight dates chopped
fine and one banana thinley spice bold, and serve either
plain or with whipped cream. It's gay to look at
and downright delicious to taste when I'm planning to serve
this tempting springtime dessert soon, but be sure you make
(28:20):
it with genuine jello or jello has that extra rich
fruit flavor flavor from fresh ripe fruit. So ask your

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
