In the 1960,s we did not miss the Bob Hope specials on our small black and white TV , fuzzy screen and all I remember my father having a fit when he saw Phylis Diller , he hated her kind of humor for some reason

its the creep phone and here's the party creep: Creddy Creeper-

10:17 he was the most active guy On tv and his movie's and visits to the American troops over the years. You can't expect at his age to remember his lines

Thanks for sharing this! What an interesting document for those learning about push-back against censorship in an increasingly commercialized society and the perceived dissolution of network standards and practices occurring at the time.

The Smothers Brothers, Dan Rowan and Dick Martin were making an appearance on The Bob Hope Special.

I was 4 in 1950 & my family got their first t.v. (a '12 RCA ) in April '50, ( the very mo. & year of this program)! I can't say that I saw this show, but I was immediately "hooked" on this new medium! Many previous Vaudeville stars, e.g. Eddie Cantor, Ed Wynn, Sophie Tucker, Jimmy Durante & many more, were the first "stars' of television, but were quickly replaced by newer & younger talents! Bob Hope was 47 then, but remained " on top" for 40 more years!

Very well done 1950 Bob Hope Easter Special.Thank You,for showing it.

Ms.Lillie singing in this segment was quite good,she had a beautiful voice.

Bea Lillie was in " Thoroughly Modern Millie " with Julie Andrews,Carol Channing,Mary Tyler Moore,James Fox,John Gavin,a 1968 musical which was a fun,well made movie by director,James Roy Hill.

Canned laughter, when do we get to the funny bits".

The chance to see Bob dancing with the Nicholls brothers is vaudeville magic

Introduced by Frank Barton.

i sure love Bob hope in his show!! Thank u!!!

It's not from 1966, it's the 1965 Christmas special

From the '50s to the '70s, whenever there was a Bob Hope Special on TV, our parents would make it a memorable evening for us kids; Mom would make a special dinner, and for dessert, we'd have mom's delectable homemade cannolis, and we were even allowed to eat it all right in front of our 19' black & white Ford Philco TV! 😊 The only other time we were allowed to have dinner and dessert in front of the Ole Philco was every October when they aired the annual showing of 'The Wizzard of Oz!' Those were such fun times! ... RIP, Mom, Pop, and Brother Bob. ❤

What a great comedian! Television is not the same without him.

That Pepsodent sponsored this was in a way "old home week" - remember "The Pepsodent Show" which Hope helmed from 1938 to 1948 when Lever Brothers (owners of Pepsodent) pulled out?

His USO Shows for the military were funnier.

See the fashions change over the few years. The dancing girls wore lots less.

...at least the Television Academy hasn't forgotten him; the Bob Hope Humanitarian Award is given from time to time...Drew Carey (S/SGT, USMCR) has recently been taking up some of the slack with the USO, as well as the actors and writers unions.

I was age 6 then, in first grade. My family watched every special on TV of Bob Hope. He was hilarious.

The song at the beginning is the Song thanks for the memory by Les brown.

Dorothy was absolutely gorgeous.

I was there at Tan Son Nhut. Got pic's with my trusty Kodak Brownie Starflash.

What a great lady Anita Bryant was then the radical queers did everything they could to destroy her life!!!

The sixties were so much more than Hippie Culture. Sharp and almost Edgy but with class.

Bob hope reminds me of frasier.

"...of Comedy and Glamour." Wtf?😂

Bob Hope was no hero. A hero would have recognized the death and destruction caused by the war and would have presses for US withdrawal thereby saving tens of thousands of lives. Instead he chose the "conservative" route and chose to encourage the hawks and therefore was complicit in tens of thousands of deaths. May he burn for his sins.

Mr. Hope came to ChuLai, Christmas '65. was fortunate to see him. RIP Mr. Hope 3rd Batt. 7th Marines ChuLai,RVN 10/65-11/66

Wonder if he said you're safer here than on the roads in usa 46.000 die each year in auto Accidents!

I was only born in '58 . Silent Nght was favorite Christmas song . Christmas Eve , 1914 , Deutsch troops started singing Stille Nacht. The British troops started singing Silent Night . The German troops put pieces of white cloth on bayonets , & British troops followed . They exchanged some Brit cigs for swigs of Deutsch Schnapps or Vodka . "What the hell are we fighting for ? " You can't even make this s__t up ! One lesson in decency.

Joey Heatherton. Who wouldn't?

The stars are the audience.

USA vs. Vietnam. Who knew? Not Westmoreland.

Bob Hope was a great American even tho he wasn't.

Bob hope version of 9 to 5 (1980 film)

It tells something about the era that he could use so many racist innuendos in his jokes.

John: I was inspired and influenced by bob hope when I was 9 in 2001, I kept this inspiration and influence for 22 years cause I don't want to get rid of them, cause he still lived during early 21st century, even himself turned 100. I should know I saw him turn 100 from the net when I was 11. That's why I keep them after all these years.

The heyday of 100 decibel canned laughter and applause

I miss these days so much I was young my father used to sit and watch all of this. This is good humor. He was one of the best.

Introduced by Frank Barton.

Never knew redd fox did these shows.

Some of these I've never seen before.

Bob was a national treasure

I grew up watching Bob Hope specials. I was age 6 during this one, but I liked him at that young an age. Now days his old specials are like comfort food. The good old days of tv! Thanks for You Tube!

Ex USAF here. Grew up watching his XMAS shows. later in 2018 on holiday in Thailand I flew in and out of Utapao. Eerie to walk out on the tarmac and look around. No jetway. Just a ladder up to our plane and then flight to Krabi or Phuket? I forgot already!

I adore Phyllis Diller!!!

Jimmy Durante , from vaudeville to television with a tip of his hat. Remarkable bit of long ago talent and something to be remembered. Thank you Yema Zore for sharing this. I hope younger people will realize how important these archives are.

Where is the picture? I heard the music and singing but there isn't any picture, only a BLACK SCREEN.
