[@MrDeCorey]

[@garycarpenter6433]

He was the funniest fellow for a very long time RIP Bob Hope

[@k9feces]

This monologue is a time capsule, love it. Always watched these specials as a kid.

[@RedcoatsReturn]

The old master! Still then he had great material and could work a crowd. I hope to see him when I go to the great beyond!

[@duskeyowl2507]

Hope was a leach when it came to audiences. All of his monologues for his specials were recorded using Johnny Carson's audiences, from the tonight shows. Everytime you see Hope on the Tonight show, he used that audience to tape his monologues.

[@keithfaulk1354]

In my opinion..Bob hope was one of the best comedians to ever live..

[@SaxonC]

Love his monologues!

[@crystalclear999]

He always will be. What a wondeful man.

[@76carmel]

His jokes never get old. I always enjoy that.

[@garyroberts3859]

They never get good either.

[@alisonchristodoulou825]

Have loved him since I was a kid. RIP Mr. Hope. ❤

[@britainluver431]

I have his book, and I never stop reading it.

[@LOUDsigh]

britainluver431 wut book?

[@barringtonfisher87]

Is it that long?

[@drjosephmichael]

every comedian could learn from bob hope

[@macclesfieldman]

Woody Allen did

[@briandonegan8480]

Back when you could make innocent fun at the figures of the day including the President (one whom he supported and campaigned for and did again in 1992) and nobody got offended

[@skipbellon4342]

One of my favorites

[@Lawschoolsuccess]

I saw him and James Cagney in a dance routine and it as just amazing.

[@susannatuttapanna2010]

That's from The Seven Little Foys, which is a charming film, but that scene steals the show. Cagney was a great dancer (he started out in musical theatre) and had brilliant comedy timing but became primarily known for his gangster roles, there are a few films where he dances though, and he did some good comedies. He was in his 70s and had arthritis during The Seven Little Foys, which makes it even more incredible.

[@vincenzoridente9994]

The legendary Bob Hope

[@baldilocks1914]

Pretty good at 87

[@movieman104]

bob hope was great loved him n meet him in person

[@geoffjoffy]

He's 87 there.

[@eatinglovepies]

this video is made of laughs and applauses that comes out every 10seconds and last for 10seconds,and with an old man talking too.haha long live bob hope!!!

[@rogerclark3229]

Can you do better?

[@dalebaker9109]

87, his amazing for his age! but sadly, he was too start falling apart health wise, but he had a great ran.

[@LoadedFPS]

Dale Baker almost

[@mrblue8439]

We miss you Bob.

[@patrickhamos2987]

.......damn!!!

[@jamesheath7601]

87 years old wow

[@artist6000ish]

So wait. He was 87 in this video?

[@Erin.56]

He died in 2003 at 100 This was 1990 so he was 87 here

[@bangfarang]

Eighty-seven years and three and a half months.

[@flannerymonaghan-morrs4740]

He does not look it though!!!!

[@MapleSyrupPoet]

Don't let Bob fool yah all ...he had, "Big Balls," ...tough cookie, Bob was

[@artanisknarf]

Clearly not filmed in front of a live studio audience.

[@devinmichaelroberts9954]

Yea it was a few of the jokes he tries continuing but can't because of the applause so he waits a few seconds.. if it was fake he would just plow through and they would cut the applause around him.

[@allegedactor126]

Devin Michael Roberts True. In fact, not only was it a live audience, but for these specials he would come out and use Carson’s Tonight Show audience-which apparently annoyed the shit outta him 🤣

[@JamesFellone]

I’m a Republican myself but this is too funny 😂

[@kippergc1]

Rodney Dangerfield the master

[@tvtimetravel]

Introduced by John Harlan.

[@matman8540]

$1.84 a gallon? WAAAAAH

[@alientube1984]

That's about what it costs in Bosnia now!

[@gohantanaka]

matman8540 That’s what it is now, 8years later.

[@jamestiscareno4387]

Bob Hope, how to tell political jokes without even a hint of sounding mean and nasty.

[@yeeticus_maximus9616]

This is just Norm Macdonald version 1.0

[@StevenTorrey]

The first President George Bush...

[@joshjhutton]

Guy in the red hat at 5:22 is not impressed.

[@Alex-ds3cg]

Take notes James Corden

[@bandwagon22]

Elvis Mitchell in the New York Times, stuck with writing an appreciation on the same day as Canby's labored obituary fell back on the exhausted line that Hope always played the same character, which was Bob Hope. A fitting tautology. Hope was a fool, and nearly a clown, but he was never even remotely a comedian. Nobody had the bad taste to recall the moment at which Hope was openly booed by the grunts in Vietnam: He was to the comedy of the war what Nixon was to its negotiation.

[@zufgh]

You've commented on multiple Bob Hope videos with these tiresome little diatribes and vague references to his politics. No one is listening to you. Stop typing them and go watch Big Bang Theory or something.

[@clffliese26]

@FutureIsNow Question: Did you like John Wayne? Every character he played was a variation of himself. If you were to ask any actor or actress, if they were going to be honest, they would tell you that, no matter what character they were playing, a majority of the character came from within. The best actors simply play themselves.

[@johnbranson3298]

Just sad.

[@jonimichalski9193]

He world have So many Jokes about Trump and Biden

[@garyroberts3859]

Hope is so unfunny…decades ago on TV I thought the same

[@FutureAbe]

he doesn't very funny

[@Ddanielgonzalez]

Mythagoras that sentence makes no sense

[@Jabberwockybird]

I literally can't even

[@remieres]

I get why it's funny, but I'm not laughin. I was born in 81. Yet this is rather dry inside humor. I'm not saying it's not funny.

[@duskeyowl2507]

It's okay I was born 20 plus years before you and never found hope funny...

[@alexschroeder8902]

Yeah, I'm here trying see why all my favorite comedians say he us the GOAT of comedy, I dont get it. I'm not laughing at all. I was born 1983

[@heidithaw1072]

alex schroeder. He did topical humor. You were seven years old so it would not be amusing. He also sort invented modern stand up and he was in a lot of movies and vaudeville. That is why they say it. He was around when I was a kid so it is nostalgic if laugh out louf.

[@visaman]

@@alexschroeder8902 His peak popularity was during World War 2. By the time he last went to Viet Nam the troops were booing him.
