Bob Hope Would Have Been 113 Years Old Today
Leslie Townes 'Bob' Hope was born this day in 1903. It seems appropriate for this weekend to play him at his best performing for the troops oversees. I should also mention Raquel Welch co-stars in this monologue wearing an angora mini-dress.
I have to be honest, whenever his specials were on, I would run from the living room when I was a kid. Never laughed at one of his jokes.
This set however is quite funny. The subject matter is more down to earth than just the run of the mill jokes about 'the rat pack' and G rated takes on contemporary events.
He did these USO tours for an astounding FIFTY years! Thanks for the memories Bob!
