That's right, Danny Thomas... Sylvania is presenting you with the 1953 Award for the "Outstanding Comedy Show of the Year"! Thanks, Sylvania, for honoring Danny Thomas this way... wc wouldn’t be human if we weren’t pleased and proud. And grateful to Danny, Jean Hagen, Ben Lessy, Sherry Jackson, Rusty Hamer, and Corky (the dog) for giving us such a hilarious show. Orchids, too, for the many wonderful guys whose job it is to stay off the TV screen . our pro- ducer, our director, and the stage crew... for making this show a prize-winning series. Thanks , too , for your second award...for timely coverage of the Coronation last June. But we feel a little guilty about this one. The glory actually belongs to those two friendly networks, the BBC and Canadian Broadcasting Company. Their brilliant films and superb cooperation made this award possible. If we can take credit for anything, it’s simply the fact that we brought this important event to the country quickly and effectively. But that’s nothing special at ABC. Thanks especially to The American Tobacco Company and Speidel, who sponsor the Danny Thomas Show. They are the real winners of awards like these.
