The Jello Program starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston, Til Harris,
Dennis Day and yours truly, Don Wilson the Orchanthrope in
the program with It's a whole new thing, Ladies and gentlemen,

(00:27):
this is the age of research. All We've been doing
a little research on the subject of jello. Well, we
found out that the best days of the week to
serve jello are Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday,
which is just another way of saying the Jello is
always anytime and every time.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
A perfectly swell dessert.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
For Jello brings you that full, extra rich flavor, a
flavor express and Sonny is the real ripe fruit itself,
and all six of Jellow's famous flavors has the same
rich goodness. Strawberry, raspberry, terry orange in line a grand
satisfying flavor that has made Jello America's favorite.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
Jealous and dessert.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
And you like Jello's gay appetizing appearance too. It's shimmering
jewlike colors that make it look so inviting.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
So enjoy some tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
Just be sure to get genuine jello and don't accept
any substitute.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
Look for those big red letters on the box.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
They fell Jello.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
That was It's a whole new thing played by Phil
Harrison's orchestra.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
Now, ladies and gentlemen, once again we bring you our
master ceremony, that bumbling personality, that ever comedian, that PiZZ
Jack Penny.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
Jelo Again, this is Jack Fanny the carbonated kid talking
and Don, I like that introduction. It fits me to
a key.

Speaker 4 (02:19):
I am bubbling and effervescing the PiZZ.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
You can have back. But Jack, let me explain.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
When I called you a fizz, it was really a compliment.
I met you were physical, you know, a fizz for sure,
I understand, Don, purposely. In other words, if you called
me a mug, you really mean I was magnificent.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
Is that it exactly?

Speaker 5 (02:37):
Well?

Speaker 1 (02:37):
Don, if you think I fell for that, you're a
fat head and that short for your whole body. Anyway, Don,
let's not get into a routine, because I know how
you appreciate a good story, and I heard a gag
a few minutes ago that will positively put every one
of your tins in motion. Shy, it's a honey, it's

(03:01):
a good one. Well, Virgil the sound man told us
to me, and you know what a clown he is.

Speaker 4 (03:05):
Just get this done, done.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
None, I haven't even told you the story yet.

Speaker 6 (03:10):
What are you laughing at?

Speaker 1 (03:12):
Is this the one about the near sight of old
vas that Ferry's a midgeon? No, heaven, none, heaven, not
that one. This is a brand new story. Get this.
There was a fellow walking down the street and he
was leading a pink alligator on a leave when all
of a sudden it started to act up and slap
at him.

Speaker 3 (03:27):
Uh huh.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
So the guy got annoyed, turned around of this pink
alligator and said, you better behave yourself or I'll take
a Bromo selz and that'll be the end of you.
Oh isn't that terribly gone? Oh it's curious that Virgil
has a great sense for you. Yeah, it was a
funny story, mister Benny. Oh, Dennis, I didn't see it.
Did you like it?

Speaker 3 (03:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (03:48):
But it's one thing that puzzles me.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
If the man was walking down the street, where did
he get the Bromo.

Speaker 4 (03:53):
Celsu Well, I don't know. He probably had a box
of it in his pocket.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
Oh, then I guess he had a glass of water
in his other pocket. Yeah, Dennis, and a banjoe on
his knee. Now, don't worry about it. So you're here
kind of early tonight, said Dennis. Where's your mother.

Speaker 5 (04:10):
It's across the street from.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
The bowling alleys, from the bowling alley. Well, with her legs,
you better walk out anyway, Dennis. I'm glad you're here
on time tonight. No, I'll try and make a habit
of her. You know, Jack, I can't get over that
story you told me. It's silly, but I get a
great kick out of it. Isn't it ridiculous?

Speaker 5 (04:28):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (04:29):
Hello Mary?

Speaker 5 (04:29):
Hello Jack?

Speaker 1 (04:30):
What's your Mary? I must tell you. Did you hear
the story about the fella that was walking down the
street eating a pink alligator on a leash?

Speaker 7 (04:36):
Is that the one when the man said, I'll take
a broma shelter and that'll be the end of you.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
Yes, No, tell it to me. Well this guy was Wait,
you just told me the answer. I thought you said
you never heard it.

Speaker 5 (04:47):
Oh suck Jack. That's one of the oldest jokes in
the world.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
Marry jokes happened to be my business, and that was
the oldest joke in the world. I'd be the first
one to know it?

Speaker 5 (04:55):
Should I let him have it? Folk?

Speaker 1 (04:58):
Never mind, do me a paper, will you marry? Go
out and come back in again?

Speaker 7 (05:02):
Well, see Jack, as long as you're telling, Joe's wanted
to tell a good one. I heard a gag last
night that was terrific.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
Oh you did it?

Speaker 5 (05:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (05:09):
A man walked in the house and said to his
wife his raining cats and dogs outside.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
Uh huh.

Speaker 5 (05:13):
And he said, how do you know?

Speaker 4 (05:15):
And he said, I guess step.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
In a poodle. I know where you heard that, Mary
as a whilcair bull. Phil Harris has been husking that
for three years. That's his team, Joe. You know, don Phil's.

Speaker 4 (05:34):
Idea of humor is really pitifil Oh.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
I don't know about that.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
Jack arms the bowl one night. The people screamed at it. Sure,
they scream at him every time he finishes a gag.
He has a waiter throw a custard pie in his face.
That's why I didn't see anybody do that. Oh well,
you must have been their bucket of water night. That's
his idea of changing material.

Speaker 7 (05:54):
Well, I'll say one thing about Phil. He sure attacks
the young collegiate crowd. All the college boys go there, they.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
Have to go there, Mary. That's part of their initiation.
Before they can join the fraternity, they have to either
listen to Harris or sleep all night in a graveyard.
He said, a graveyard. Yes, and you'll be surprised at
the number of kids around here that aren't afraid of gold.

Speaker 7 (06:20):
Yes, sir, you know Jack chill Share believes in that
college share. Look at that time on the bass drums.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
Oh yeah, Phil, Harris and his collegians. Look, he felt
collegians with one l.

What's going on? I'll tell the true Phil. For the
last five minutes we've been talking about you. Well, the
little bills up ain't never hurt nobody, no fella, never
done you no good either. Your grammar is worse than
Abe Liman's and he never got beyond blocks. Well, who

(07:03):
cares about grammar? I got other things to worry about. Oh,
I can imagine, say, Phil, I noticed that new sign
you got on the bass drum. What happened to that
corny painting you used to have there?

Speaker 6 (07:12):
Corny?

Speaker 1 (07:12):
Yeah, you know, the one with the yellow Moon and
the green River and the purple trees.

Tell it to her, Dennis. Well, mister Benny was walking
down the streets leading a pink alligator. Oh sue, eh, dude,
it wasn't me, missus D. Dennis got the story all wrong.

a polar bear in the guest room and an ostridge
in the garage, and mine's in the pantry. Let's move out.
