Bob Hope's Scandalous Life Was Unsettling

[@cathyharo29]

As a youngster I met Bob Hope three times at the old NBC studios. He was always gracious to a kid (me) interrupting his conversations with others to get an autograph. I was sad to hear about his true colors. God Bless Delores.

[@HollywoodQuest]

He has many kind qualities

[@watchgoose]

why did you wait until he was deceased a long time before spreading this dirt on him?

[@Cherryvanilla27]

It’s well known. Eyes Wide Shut is about him. Youre just finding out here?

[@Cherryvanilla27]

They cleaned him up or maybe this is all they know but he was a monster.

[@WVgrl59]

​@@Cherryvanilla27no, it isn't. It is based on Arthur Schnitzler's novella Traumnovelle. 😂

[@WVgrl59]

​@@Cherryvanilla27now you know. 😅

[@CharlotteKeyser-o9o]

Because everyone is dead that would say otherwise

[@tazmaniajohnson2898]

It wasn't dirt, it was the truth.

[@HollywoodQuest]

That was an incident

[@johnvaccaro7022]

Johnny Carson was not a fan of Hope!....His whole routine was strictly scripted...drove Johnny crazy!

[@curtmartin6477]

I quit listening as soon as this guy described Bob Hope as having a razor sharp wit. DO YOUR HOMEWORK...he was the polar opposite of a quick witted comedian.

[@marianneschacht3799]

Why does it even surprise,anyone. Doesn’t surprise me at all.

[@HollywoodQuest]

I will improve the content further, thank you for what you think

[@mizfrenchtwist]

never cared for him or his brand............

[@HollywoodQuest]

Thank you for sharing the helpful information

[@johnmac91]

I have great respect for his dedication to entertaining the troops, but never found him funny. Johnny Carson famously hated having Hope as a guest on The Tonight Show because he didn’t have the ability to improvise, or to be spontaneously funny. All of the banter had to be scripted in advance, which Carson hated.

[@mizfrenchtwist]

@@johnmac91.......... carson , was in a class all his own.........actually in my opinion , he out classed hope . carson was lightening fast , could think on his feet🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰.........

[@user-ke8st8jc1v]

He wasn’t “ flawed “ ,he was a shameless arrogant cheater

[@HollywoodQuest]

Sometimes, in that situation, they have no other choice

[@tam6650]

And not even that funny in my opinion.

[@user-ke8st8jc1v]

@@tam6650 Imagine how ruthless he was to force his writers to come up with a certain amount of jokes in a certain amount of time otherwise he fired them .

[@stevemarshall3490]

If Bob Hope couldn’t read he’d never make it!

[@Cherryvanilla27]

You really couldn’t find a photo of Doris Day? Really?

[@honeybearden8803]

I saw one picture of Doris Day.

[@LisaGrace-Crisologo]

In his heyday I was a young child, and couldn't figure out why he was so popular. I didn't find him funny or talented at all, and thought maybe when I got older, I'd see what others saw. Then I got older and still didn't see it. He never received an Oscar for good reason. I guess timing is everything. If he tried to get into the entertainment industry these days, he'd be a total flop. I'll never understand how he got the women, either. He was nothing to look at, and he was a controlling narcissist.

[@HollywoodQuest]

He has received a lot of help

[@mizfrenchtwist]

i'm sure , he paid the women , very well............

[@richardanderson7091]

I don't think his acting really stood out. He was an entertainer, not an actor in my opinion.

[@HollywoodQuest]

He has many things to improve in the roles he plays in his life

[@honeybearden8803]

That is not Hope’s first wife. That is Marilyn Maxwell, his frequent co-star.

[@HollywoodQuest]

Thank you for providing me with more information

[@carlhovde6846]

He never made me laugh and was morally deplorable

[@laurajphillips]

He wasn’t good looking and he was not a nice man very sneaky!

[@HollywoodQuest]

He has had moments when he was wrong in life, but I believe deep down inside him, there is a good person.

[@richardanderson7091]

Striking?? Lol i dont think Hope was really that good looking. Thats just my opinion.

[@HollywoodQuest]

A very interesting piece of feedback, I really like it. There are parts where I also feel he should change them

[@Cherryvanilla27]

Horrible editing pictures all mixed up. Lazy.

[@maryannemelenka9250]

That's right. ARE THEY TEACHING THIS AT JOURNALISM SCHOOL. WHY WOULD TODAY S GENERATION POST ABOUT A MAN MANY TODAY WHO DONT KNOW HE IS. PROBABLY TO KNOCK AND INSULT OLDER GENERATIONS. EVERYONE HAS TO HAVE A SCANDAL 24 HOURS A DAY. EVEN THE DECEASED. THIS O SESSION WITH PUTTING PEOPLE DOWN WHO HAVE BEEN DEAD FOR YEARS. HES HAD MANY BIOS WRITTEN ABOUT HIM. NO ONE IN HOLLYWOOD WAS A SAINT. SO WHAt? Whose town sinned. Most people have a dark side anyway. But it's sickening how pick on a dead person, even if things were true , he's dead now. Met his maker and fate already. I do appreciate his dedication to troops, he did lots of charity work. I read Bob was right with a buck, but at the same Rinehart could be very generous too. He came from poverty. He had 7 brothers I. ENGLAND. THATS WHY SOME STARS ARE FRUGAL, NOT NECESSARILY CHEAP, THEY KNEW WHAT POOR WAS LIKE. I LIKED HIM AND HIS SMART ASSED WISE CRACKS. BUT HIS THEME SUNF GOT SICKENING AFTER AWHILE

[@HollywoodQuest]

I will improve them

[@sharonstrang715]

He had writers. His talent was delivery and that was all. Totally over rated

[@ChristinaDoyle-s9c]

Why can't people rest always the same after thy died lot rubbish comes out every one has history who cares made me laugh enough said

[@lindalu8463]

I'd like to buy some punctuation.

[@tam6650]

Is that a real sentence?
