Bob Hope talks about his blackboard

Listen for Bob's hilarious delivery of the line: "You don't wanna score there." From THE DICK CAVETT SHOW. October 4, 1972. Add "&fmt=18" for the high-resolution version.

Hope was fabulous. BS after his passing is just that BS

This was the best Hope television interview by quantum leaps, no surprise since Cavett is the the medium's best interviewer and an infinitely better talk show host than Carson.

Cavett is great but really comparing him with Johnny is not fair. Two different styles altogether.

Rodney Dangerfield would completely DESTROY Bob Hope in a head to head joke telling contest. In terms of stand up comedy, Bob Hope was not even worthy enough to tie the brilliant Rodney Dangerfields shoelaces if they both waited backstage before they are about to go on and perform one after the other. Bob Hope was an excellent actor, singer and dancer. A great entertainer in his own right. But he was simply the worst comic ever to walk into a TV studio. The troops just wanted to escape from their problems so they laughed at anything that he did just as a way of taking their minds of war. Like I said, Rodney Dangerfield would completely DESTROY Bob Hope in a head to head joke telling contest.

The reason this was so funny was because Bob's many flings and extra-marital affairs was a not-so-secret secret although I'm sure Mr. and Mrs. middle America had no idea what the joke was about :o)
