Bob Hope

A lot of kids and teenagers today have never heard of Bob Hope. But if you ask your parents, they'll tell you he was many things, TV and movie star, patriot, but he was first and foremost, a comedian. Bob Hope was regarded as one of the premier comedians of the 20th century. His first actual appearance on anything was the airwaves during the late 30's, into the 40's and so on. After radio folded, Bob quickly made the transition to television, where he was even more popular than before. Hope also made a series of movies, the "Road" series with Bing Crosby and Dorothy Lamour. Bob was also well known for doing USO shows for soldiers during the various conflicts of the 20th century. An avid golfer, Hope later integrated a golf club into his USO shows and television appearances.
