 The Jell-O program starring Jack Benny with Johnny Green in his orchestra. The orchestra opens the program with, that's the codfish ball from the picture Captain January. Today we are happy to celebrate the fourth anniversary of Jack Benny on the air. It's a great occasion folks. So here's to Jack Benny, here's to Jell-O and here's to the very month of May. The bright colorful days that bring us the first hint of summer. But you needn't wait for summer to enjoy the lively goodness of its most popular fruits and berries. You can anticipate that pleasure right now with Jell-O. For Jell-O brings you the right fruit taste of cherries, raspberries and strawberries all year round. Jell-O and only Jell-O knows the secret of capturing that extra rich fruit flavor. It tastes just as fine whether you make it yourself or get it at a restaurant. Tomorrow marks the beginning of the National Restaurant Week. So sometime this week when you're out at a restaurant, why not order an appetizing dish of Jell-O? Only always remember to ask for Jell-O by name, either at your grocers or in a restaurant. Always insist on genuine Jell-O. Tonight marks Jack Benny's fourth anniversary on the air. Radio marches back. 1932. Hello, National Broadcasting Company. This is the president of Canada Drive. Who's going to be the master of ceremonies on my program? Jack Benny. What? That's punk? 1933.

This is Mr. O'Neill of the General Tire Company. Who's going to be the funny man on my program? Jack Benny. What? Back punk? Radio marches on. And now, ladies and gentlemen, Jell-O brings you that punk, Jack Benny. Well, hello again. This is punk Benny. I mean Jack Benny talking. Gosh, I'm so excited. This is my fourth year on the air. Isn't that a wonderful record on four years? Oh, I don't know. Jack came as a man. He's been on the air six years. Well, that's only three years apiece. I'm talking about a single performer, you know. Well, how about Rudy Valle? He's been singing for seven years. I know, Don, but how long can his nose hold out? Anyway, I don't want to brag or sound egotistical, but I think that's the man from Louisville. There's a wish I could be with you on your fourth anniversary. I ran my darned it, but couldn't make it. I signed brevity. I wasn't that nice, Don. But you know what kills me? Everybody has congratulated me on my anniversary, except the members of my program. Isn't that awful? See, you think I was some... some... punk? Yes. No. But they do owe me that courtesy. Here comes Mary. She remembers. Oh, hello, Mary. Hello. God, Jack, isn't it warm for May the 3rd? It sure is. Ah, May the 3rd. Oh, May the 3rd. Mary, remember May the 3rd, 1932? Exactly the goal. Talk back, Jay. You see, Don? Uh, say, Jack, can I drop for a minute? I want to send a telegram of congratulations. To who, Mary? My cousin. She's getting married tomorrow. Oh. I'll be right back. Well, I guess you're right, Jack. Oh, you can't blame me. You've got so much on her mind for a kid, you know. Hello, Jack. Congratulations. Oh, thanks, Johnny. Thanks. Why don't you pick the winner in the derby? Oh. Well, thanks, anyway. You're welcome. See you later. Okay. You see, Don even Johnny forgot, you know. Well, Jack, you know, he's got so much on his mind. Oh, sure. His music and everything. So you had the winner in the derby, eh? Yep. Well, that's fine, Jack. You know, I hate to bring this up on your anniversary, but if you remember, I had half of your horse. I know, Don, but my half came in first. Well, let's see, what did I win? I have two dollars to show. Of course, I'll have to give the jockey something. Well, hello, Jack. Congratulations on your anniversary. Well, Kenny, thank you. I'm glad you remembered it. Nothing on his mind. Hey, how did you have to remember my anniversary, Kenny? Gee, it's in all the papers. Here's something I gift out of the New York Times. Yeah, what does it say? It says, for the fourth consecutive year, the Senate Finance Committee took up the administration budget proposals. Hmm, well... Uh, they spelled your name wrong, Jack. See what it is, Mary. I bet it's an interview or something, eh? Hey, Jack, there's a pair of spats outside. Wants to see you. A pair of spats? Is there a man inside? Yes. Don Besson! Come on in, Don! Look who's here, fellas. Good ol' Don! Hiya, Don. Well, Gene, well... Well, Jack, I just thought I'd drop up and offer my congratulations. Well, this is some surprise. Mary, here's Don. Oh, hello, Mary. Hello, Don. I guess you received Jack's wire, all right. Hey, Don, you're looking like a million dollars. Gee, you're one of a few who remembered me. I'll never forget you. You did last Christmas. Well, that wasn't my fault. Hey, why didn't you hang up your stocking when you went to bed? What, did you take off my spats? Same old Besson. Gee, it's good to see you again. Hey, Don, how's the wife and kitty? Kitty? How many kitties do you think I have? I don't know. I thought you were keeping score. Mary, Don has only one trial, and it looks just like him. What's the difference as long as I keep him in the house? Fine. Yes, sir. Say, Don, Don, you remember Wilson. Oh, sure. Hiya, Don. Hello, Don. How do you feel, Don? Fine, Don. Well, that's Don. And this, uh, this is Kenny Baker. Oh, glad to meet you. And this is Johnny Green, our orchestra leader. How do you do, Mr. Green? Very well, thank you, Mr. Besson. Old friends there. You've got a great orchestra, Mr. Green. What size baton do you use while dusting? Well, I formally used a 7-inch baton, but now I get much better results with a 9-inch one. I use a 15-inch stick myself. Oh, why? It's easier to hit the musicians. Mary. Mr. Besson, we're just about to start our next tumble. Would you care to assist me in directing the boys? I'd love to. Very well, then. Play, Don. Play, John. Remember, no fencing. Have music. Played by Johnny Green and Don Besson. And it sounded great, too. Didn't it, fellas? Oh, yeah. You know, I gotta pay you two boys a compliment. Oh, really, you both have swell orchestras. I don't know, your music is so... It's so... It's so... It's so... It's so... It's so... It's so...

Yeah, Jack, happy as a locke and ready to give you the bird. See, that's nice of you, but you didn't have to come all the way over here. Frank, you could just as well have sent me a telegram.
