      He was Jackie Gleason's announcer since the early 60's.

    It's the late Johnny Olsen at the end of the commercial.🌚
    He died when I was 11, as a former announcer of The Price Is Right.😭
    He died showing us all how to have a fun time!!😭
    If I had been born a girl(Jennie), I would have cried like a little girl if ever I heard Johnny Olsen's voice!!😭

    Would have been great if Crazy Guggenheim could have been in this!

    Is it my imagination, or does Gleason look a bit "baked" in this ad? And didn't this also air on that special he did in October 1973 which was the last time the late Sheila MacRae played Alice in "The Honeymooners"?

    👰🧖‍♀️👧General Electric has such a hypnotic-looking logo❣It looks like swirly icing on a sweet roll or a birthday cake; Giggle❣❣😋 I get hungry for cinnamon rolls, sticky buns, or an iced brownie just by getting mesmerized by the swirls❣❣

    $225 in 1973 is worth $1,360 in 2020.
    But honestly, who cares?

      You just need a down payment...and if it were R-A-C, you'd still be paying for it ;-)
