Bob Hope used his money to purchase vast tracks of virgin land in the USA and when he died the state could not afford such a large amount so his family gifted the land to California. Thanks to him you have this huge nature reserve. He was a beautiful , generous, funny man that women couldn't keep there hands off. I hope I got the state right, look it up.

As a military service member I have the greatest respect and admiration for the late Bob Hope. He was from a completely different era. If people were offended because he was unwilling to change and embrace change that still doesn't change his contributions that he made to America. He supported service members during a time of war to improve moral and considering the way troops were treated that served in Vietnam perhaps some of those outdated morals and values that some find offensive are what we have forgotten as a society.

I worked at an Oldies radio station in the 1990s that also used to broadcast old radio shows from Hope, George Burns, Jack Benny, etc; I was in my 20s. What really surprised me was how funny these guys were in their prime on those radio shows. Granted, they all had writing staffs, but the comic deliveries were amazing. The comic that surprised us all was Red Skeleton. While most people remembered him as the aged variety host of his own tv show in the 1960s, his radio show was mind blowing. The jokes were quick, funny and often totally surreal. A radio show so ahead of it's time.

Regardless of how he evolved or failed to evolve, he’s an American treasure. I like to think that he did far more good for the country than bad.

I still have such fond memories of watching his shows, specials, and movies with my family while growing up in the 70’s and 80’s. I always enjoy biographies that tell the good and the bad but sometimes I find it distasteful when family, friends, loved ones of the person in question to absolutely trash a person and Their achievements because the individual isn’t able to defend the self. I have to wonder what’s the point and the motivation….so,e times seems like trying to get attention or some kind of sour grapes. This was an interesting episode. 👍

I was born in 1949 and thought Hope was funny on t.v. and the movies. When I got into my 30s his 'shtick' was no longer funny, but dry and stale. He was great in HIS time, but woefully passe as he got older, and comics like Carlin and Pryor became part of the 'in crowd'. What Bob Hope did for the troops cannot be overstated or forgotten. I was in Vietnam with the army in 1969, and wounded on December 14th. I was hoping for a chance to see Hope's Christmas Show, but fate had me in the hospital at that time. As that great American comedian Abe Lincoln once said: "You can please some of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time."

The movie got so many things right about Martha Raye that she sought legal action. However she lost in court. It's quite entertaining. Bette Midler got a Golden Globe for her role.

I’ve been fortunate to have met many celebrities and entertainers. Some are exactly the same in person as they are in stage. For others, their personality is somewhat different and on stage they are playing a role. Bob Hope was probably at the extreme end of the latter. His jokes and material were written by his staff and what you saw was a carefully rehearsed act. His real personality was entirely different from that persona. In person, he was sullen, unfriendly, and not at all funny. He kept to himself and had no interest in fans. Of all the people I’ve met, he was the most disappointing.

So she, even though I was a university student at the time and in my early 20’s, had seen a decline in Bob Hope’s comedy-talent just as I had. Age caught-up with Bob Hope. Still, he did leave a lot of good-comedy for future generations to enjoy. 🙂

Simply spot-on ! Dear Mr. Hope what can I say? Everything you expressed in this episode is undeniably accurate and correct. Bob and Dolores shared a secondary 2 homes in my zip code, and throughout the years, we've seen them together for decades within our community. We witnessed this firsthand his evolution and decline😮 sadly his later years were truly tragic and very, very pathetic. We frequented the same restaurants that they enjoyed as well, and we would encounter them multiple times throughout the years while having dinner. One of the last ones we had encountered them we were at an Italian restaurant on our own version of Rodeo Drive. Sadly Dolores felt compelled to have dragged out her significant other in his degenerative state that he was in and let me tell you it was very evident he was not cogent on any level he was brought in by a caretaker and wheeled into the restaurant and they proceeded with their old Pals from yesteryear and one of them I do remember quite distinctly happened to be at that time the CEO of world-renowned Eisenhower Medical Campus and Hospital out here. Which they had been intimately involved with it from the beginning of its incarnation. It was tragically difficult to complete our meals to witness this form of abuse and negligence to this world renowned Entertainer regardless him being tone deaf and insensitive to The Changing Times. This poor man and human being that his last deserved much better treatment and consideration with dignity. He simply was wheeled up to the table in a non coherent state of being and ignored as the rest of the party Dolores enjoyed their meal and carried on. It was shameful and embarrassing. That evening, I will never forget. But nonetheless, one must concede, he had one incredible career from the beginning to the end no matter where any of one of us falls between the political spectrum. I did have several opportunities to meet Bob at charitable events back in the seventies and eighties through family. He was truly the consummate professional and always very gracious. I remember as a young man how he treated the ladies😉 and especially to my mother. Thank you both for the Memories 🙄 👍 🥂

He was in the older days but I’m thinking who replaced him . Actors , Hollywood, politicians . Think tanks Unniversity learning Actually everything I can think of. Are they any better ??? I don’t think we are any better off with progressive ,woke and all the crude, multi partner drug abusing entertainment . Even the Academy Awards which almost watched by everyone is now a rude and raunchy program no one wants to see or cares about. I don’t think Hope was worse than what we see now . Now all the stuff is in our face

Hope was equal to those aging culture of the great/silent generation. At the same time he was a wolf in sheep's clothing. And, as part of the powerful generation he enjoyed his proceeds from it. Hope, George Burns, and Milton Berle were all strict for the status quo all the while they had their own freak zones. Times have chnage and they were left off the boat.

@@anab.2741 We were stationed in Germany when my Dad and a few others volunteered for Viet Nam. They restarted the IVth Infantry Division and we went to Ft. Lewis, WA. My Dad went over on a ship loaded with equipment. My godfather was already there with the 25th Infantry. His letters were full of the reality of the situation. My did a lot of horrible things to people to get back to the real-world and his family. I have no problem with the atrocities he committed. He was a soldier fighting for his brothers. Not some political nonsense. My father was completely straight with me. All my Mom would say after their divorce was we would understand when we got older. He died from alcohol and Agent Orange. Now he is at play in the fields of the Lord.

Bob Hope was a legend, and not being liked by the hippies that were too stoned to have a legitimate thought, and considering how they treated the Military men when they came home, proved how little their thoughts were. Also, though they wanted to put the Vietnam war on Nixon, it was Kennedy and Johnson that were responsible. To try and hurt Bob Hope's name because he was friends with Nixon, is like trying to hurt Barbara Streisand's name because she was friends with an even bigger con-people in Bill and Hillary Clinton. The young crowd can love Carlin and Pryer more than Hope, but though great in their own right, will still never be as great, admired, and or remembered as Bob Hope.

I always enjoyed his comedy and early movies like the "On The Road" series of movies he did with Bing Crosby. But as time went on I basically outgrew his comedy. As I learned more about Bings' womanizing but especially about how he was abusive to his own children I began to wonder about what kind of guy Bob Hope was all those years.

We went with my neighbors and saw Bob Hope he was fabulous. He started out with small jokes and at the end of his performance the people were rolling in the isle. He was fantastic. It was worth the weight. 🇺🇸

It’s not at all that sinister. Bob Hope came from a completely different generation. WW2 and Glen Miller, the big band era and dancing close, nice and slow. Guys wore hats and suits. Women wore dresses. And everybody smoked! Yuck! It was the thing back then. Before that, there was Charlie Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks and the comedy of W.C. Fields in the 20’s and 30’s. Today, put on an old W.C. Fields radio show, nobody will laugh at the jokes he says. The stuff today, music wise and comedy wise in 2024 will be completely outdated in 2050. It’s not a big conspiracy at all. Tastes change with different generations. I was born in 1963. My generation was the 80’s. But I can relate to all kinds of music. Some people refuse to embrace change. You know, embracing change doesn’t mean you’re giving up on the older music that you like, it means you’re growing and staying relevant. There are kids today that like the music of the 70’s. As far as comedy, today, nobody wants to be critical of other people because we’re in an age of political correctness. I get it. I don’t take pleasure in humiliating a person because of their race or background. But comedy is all about, making fun and being funny! Imitating people to get a laugh! I feel, it’s ok to do that, but you don’t wanna cross the line and hurt any one’s feelings. You still can do comedy and make fun of people but you gotta do it cleverly and not single out an entire group of people the whole night. You gotta mix it up and make it where they’re in on the joke and they laugh too. If you can do that, you’ll have people enjoying the joke too. Also, comics are generally likable people. Nobody likes a mean spirited comic. Guys like Andrew Dice Clay or Sam Kinison wouldn’t go over well today. Times have changed. Self deprecating comics like Rodney Dangerfield are always in style. Guys who do imitations or impressions are always in style. In the 1980’s, my generation, the people my age back then, and I was in my 20’s, nobody my age thought Bob Hope was funny. So, he was only funny to people like my grandparents from the 40’s. But, I don’t want to be super critical, Bob Hope had some really top notch writers who wrote his material and I thought some of his jokes were funny. I thought Redd Foxx and George Carlin were naturally funny and wrote their own material. Comedy is generational to a certain extent. It’s all good! 😂

I appstore love ❤️ Bob Hope & however I had the pleasure of growing up watching 👀 his tremendous career and is my first excellent with comedy stand up or his version of. & how I was eventually introduced to Robin Williams who was also largely influential by Bob Hope as well. & when Bob Hope was unfortunately on his death bed, passed the USO jobs to Robin Williams and others like Gerry Sinise. They both spent a great deal of their personal time in Afghanistan 🇦🇫 and Iraq 🇮🇶 supporting our brave troops. Apparently, Bob Hope was known womanizer. If true? I don't know, possibly? So was Robin Williams in the early days of his life. Very popular with the ladies. I don't blame them 😅😂😮❤

The thing I love about Hope is he was not a sellout like so many 80's icons...Did you ever notice how feminine Madonna from the 80's now sports a 'grill' trying to stay relevant with the black community or how the long hair bands from the 80's suddenly cut that hair to stay relevant with Gen Z...They are fake, they don't believe in a damn thing they are selling, unlike Bob Hope...That is why, love or hate him, at least you know Hope will have your back if you were caught between enemy gunfire...Someone like Madonna would throw her rifle on the ground and run behind enemy lines screaming how American soldiers are butchering innocent people...Never trust a centard, they will turn on you before you can say Hanoi Jane...
