England
mr. Gregory Winthrop
the last time I'll ever pay anybody in
advance from television city in
Hollywood the Jack Benny program
presented by Lucky Strike a light smoke
the best-tasting cigarette you ever
smoked
like fun light smoke a Lucky Strike the
ride smoked sunlight smoke a Lucky
Strike for the taste that you like light
up a Lucky Strike light up in lights
move a Lucky Strike you'll say it's the
best-tasting cigarette you ever smoked
thank you very very much ladies and
gentlemen and welcome to the Lucky
Strike program now the reason we had
that rather unusual opening before the
commercial is because that seems to be
the latest trend now on television shows
you know right off the reel they want to
give you something exciting before the
commercial something's a shot you see
and although I do think that some of the
programs overdo it like for instance the
other night I saw a program a show where
the television show where it started
right off with an angry mob dragging a
man down the Main Street of a town then
they tied him to a pole you see
then they put branches all around them
then they lit fire you know the branches
and as this man was burning at the stake
Indians were shooting arrows at him from
all directions I believe it was the
Loretta Young
but you know we have such a full show
tonight I'm not gonna tell any jokes I
want to bring out my guest star right
away ladies and gentlemen young lady who
is so talented and so lovely mrs. L
McKenzie
mmm it's so nice having you on my show
again this is your fifth appearance
isn't it no no Jack this is my fourth
appearance am i chilled before funny I
thought it was the fifth time no no you
see it's my fourth appearance and before
I make my fifth I'd like to ask you
something what is it well you see um
you've been awfully good to me in the
past and you've helped me in my career a
lot and you've been very instrumental in
getting my own program for me but but
what how many times do I have to be on
your show for nothing that's a matter of
conscience and I haven't got one look
about as long as you brought it up I'd
like to bring up a point to it a couple
of months ago you were a guest on Ralph
Edwards issues your life and I did make
an appearance on that show that night
well Jack I had a feeling that the
reason you appeared at the studio that
night was because you thought they were
gonna do your life
we'll all week long into cryin lessons
from Betty Davis the show you see I was
expecting the county tax assessor isn't
it you were a guest on Ralpha this your
life and I did make an appearance yes
and I wish you'd return my charm
bracelet twice they threw me out of the
steam room at Hillcrest
turn missing I had a Millard down for a
filling Alan why don't you get ready I
know they're waiting to hear you're
saying you get ready for your song and
while you're preparing for it I'll
entertain I have a joke that I want to
tell you now as a rule I do not tell
jokes I just sort of ramble along and
talk you know but this is a wonderful
joke I think it's about a window washer
who was working on a building the city
hall building downtown in Los Angeles he
and he was washing windows on the 16th
floor when suddenly his foot slip
sail along to remove
whale of artillery
my love
in the globe
like in love
c'est la la
say
guide me back
the only one
she isn't she delightful I mean what a
great artist about a week ago I must
tell you I picked up Gisele Mackenzie in
my car you see and we drove up to
Mulholland Drive all alone just the two
of us you know and I went to a spot that
I had in mind there you see and I we
were alone you see in the car and I shut
off the motor and everything we sat
there and talked everything worked out
great she bought two Lots from me to
build a home up there it'll be wonderful
because you know the air up there so
much better than downtown in Lausanne oh
this reminds me of this joke that I want
to tell you about this window washer who
was washing windows downtown Los Angeles
and the city hall building is he and he
was up on the 16th floor washing the
windows and suddenly his foot slip
somebody get this thing off of here Don
