Barney Fife was actually on a single episode of the Joey Bishop Show; Episode is called Joey's Hideaway Cabin (1964) and it's all but impossible to find. Been searching for 10+ years.

Me too! I love Andyyy

Andy Taylor brings me back to my childhood where life was alot simpler

[@kurtschlarb9762]

Jeffrey. Me too. Damn shame these folks die, then you hear all this bad stuff about them. I know it's all talk. But they can't defend themselves. No wonder some them try to live forever.

They "sleep" in the grave bro, waiting for the LORD'S return. If they were in heaven, Jesus wouldn't have to come back.

Andy maybe but Hope was kind of an ahole....

[@kristabrewer9363]

I doubt that VERY much

[@kristabrewer9363]

@@garymcaleer6112 WRONG! #1 Just anybody doesn't go to heaven (I have no clue if Andy Griffith or Bob Hope were Christians or not. But even if they DID make it to heaven, something tells me they won't be making anyone laugh) #2, and most important. The dead who die are NOT in their grave (I know this to be a fact. And you would also if you knew the Word). The very SECOND a Christians dies, they go to be with God (A Christian goes to be with God, so I can only assume that the non Christian goes to hell)

What if Barney Fife was in this skit Will that be funny?

[@enricosanchez894]

Thank God that Bob Hope's writers didn't write the Andy Griffith Show.

[@hankkingsley2976]

He owes peking 2000 dollars

[@WytZox1]

* Bob Hope often failed in his sketches to allow guests to reach their full comedic potential. When Don Rickles did a silly sketch with Bob I so wanted Don to step out of character and call Hope a has-been hockey puck but alas Don apparently had too much respect for Hope to do that even if it would've saved the sketch. ☺

[@olgabagley3564]

You Got that right try the Danny Thomas show with Andy Griffith better 👍

Yeah. I agree

I remember watching this episode 😊 ❤ My dad loved Bob Hope, We saw Walter Cronkite announce the assassination of J.F.K.😢

[@paulsanchez1687]

This was great. Just funny.

[@CHDanhauser]

Fun! Strange to think that they made a joke involving JFK. Four weeks later to the day after this show aired, JFK was assassinated in Texas. Looking back, they had no idea.

[@GregWatson-wb8yd]

That happens. Real life too

One month and three days later would change the world forever.

[@madbrowniac7871]

Just remembered something. One of Bob's writers met one of Andy's creative control guys. Larry Gelbart met Gene Reynolds and they went on to shape a TV sitcom called MASH. A couple of episodes were even directed by Bob's announcer Hy Averback who also announced for MASH as well!B.W.

😪

[@upthedownescalator630]

[@fromthesidelines]

This was from Bob's second NBC Chrysler special in the 1963-'64 season. And the amazing thing about them, was that he was also appearing weekly as host of "BOB HOPE PRESENTS THE CHRYSLER THEATER"- which was on film, in color. Yet, his own variety specials WEREN'T telecast in color until December 1965! That's Peter Leeds, a regular Hope "stooge", as the guy seated on the left in the cab...

And the cab driver was character actor Charles Smith who played in many films starting in the late 1930's. He played in the Henry Aldrich series as Henry's friend, Dizzy Smith; needed "H2o" for his car while giving James Cagney Jive-talk lessons in "Yankee Doodle Dandy"; invited for Christmas dinner by Frank Morgan at the end of "The Shop Around the Corner"; along with countless other movies and television appearences.

Andy himself was the one who decided to end the show. He didn't want it to drag on and also wanted to go out in top - it was featured in the Top 10 in Nielsen ratings for each of its nine seasons (1960-68).

as much as I like Bob Hope and Andy as much as I like Bob Hope and Andy Griffith, this particular sketch really didn't leave me laughing. one interesting cultural note, in those days there were a lot of westerns and it was funny for people to be shooting each other all the time, but after the Kennedy assassination a month later you never saw this kind of Comedy anymore of people shooting each other.
