Barbara with legends in the entertainment business!!! The late Regis Philbin (1931-2020) idolized Bing Crosby!!!! as a child in the 30s'. Redd Foxx (1922-1991) of Sanford & Son (1972-1977) fame along with The Royal Family (1991)- blue 🔵 comedian to the end. And of course Bob Hope, another great!!! Rest in Peace all of you- including Barbara Walters (1929-2022)
Thanks for posting this. I never watched the complete interview with Redd Foxx. I loved how candid and honest he was bout race in Hollywood. The Bob Hope interview was cool. Too bad he was having MULTIPLE affairs during their marriage well into his 70s. Either Mrs. Hope was in denial, lying, had an arrangement, or just put on a good face for the cameras.
I was impressed at how eloquent Bob Hope spoke. Interestingly that he supposedly actually did not like Bing much. Their relationship was basically a working one. Bing spoke well too, but willing to never speak to his child again because of a minor moral difference said so much about him. Also, I so agree with Redd with his angers. It's so blatantly obvious that he was not respected for the man he was. His show was one of the all-time best in my opinion. Other than "All In The Family", it's the only show that I can watch over and over and still laugh just as loud.
Hope loved Crosby...in a book I read that Bob actually authored himself he wrote that his friendship with Bing was the best one he ever had and that he thought Bing could do no wrong. Debunked rumours regarding Bing and new info are restoring his good name.
They were friendly but completely different types of people; Bob was very social and outgoing, while Bing, when not working, was quite reserved and preferred to keep to himself and his family.
Loved this retro special. Barbara sure asked these celebrities some very tough questions. Very interesting conversations too. The one I found the most interesting is the one on one with Bing Crosby. The man was obviously old fashioned. He was against sex before marriage but was for legalizing marijuana? At a time when smoking a joint would of got you arrested and possibly done jail time? Well he was a Republican and a conservative so to me it's really not that surprising about his marital views but the weed one got me a little confused. Now Redd Foxx's interview was my personal favorite. His second wife was so beautiful and his lavish lifestyle was over the top just like the athletes and rappers today. And that mirror above his bed? 😂 We all know why he had that. He really did live up to his explicit material.
Bing himself was a heavy pot smoker when he was in the Rhythm Boys in the late 20's and he continued to smoke it through the early 30's. He and Louis Armstrong smoked together, see Gary Giddin's two volume biography of Bing for more on this issue. So obviously Bing would be pro-marijuana.
Too bad Red Foxx died owing millions to the IRS. Likely all those clothes and items were seized. His wife Joi and he separated in 1979 and divorced in 81. He had to pay her $300000 in the proceedings.
I'm ever much an authoritarian pretty much as Bing says he is. I'm into setting my children straight.And yes,I did learn to be a proper parent strictly from Bing and other loving,successful parents.Learn early on from Bing(I look to Bing some to set my kids right)you'll parent without hurting them.
- - - - No longer mentioned, but Bing (along with Dean Martin) were monster influences on Elvis. Unfortunately, the Elvis biopic made Elvis out to be nothing more than a product of blues music. Anyway, you can hear in Bing's crooning, kind of an Elvis rhythm to his voice.
Sorry, but Red Fox is no Bob Hope. He keeps comparing himself, but Hope is in the stratosphere, and few have reached heights like Hope. I so like Red & his 1 hit show, but I think he also had an exaggerated view of his own importance.
Always watched the Christmas Specials with my Dad. He loved them. He only would get gas at our local Texaco Station
BING'S VOICE IS SO SMOOTH AND SOOTHING..

Thanks for this upload :)
RIP ALL THREE LEGENDS
Thanks for sharing
RIP Miss Barbara. You brought us many hours of entertaining television over the years. My condolences to her family. 😔😔
Seems like a lifetime ago.
I wish the interview with Red was longer.
Aired a few months before Bing died.

Barbara looks like a babe here 😍
Especially during interviews but not as an anchor.
I remember these BaBa WaWa interviews before the Oscars. When people actually watched the Oscars, that is.
Great interview! Barbara's a beast 👍
I'm curious to know what films Bing made that he didn't like.
The GE ads with Pat Hingle as Thomas Edison were parodied in an "SCTV" episode in this year.
He looks like the actor that played the wizard from the wizard of oz

She was tan, She just arrived from Cuba. Beautiful
I love ❤️ Redd Foxx

Hey Edison!! You forgot Tesla!!
RIP Barbara Walters
Bing Crosby died like 5 months after this interview.
Red Foxx looked so cool.
Red Foxx starts: 38:00
It's interesting that the Hopes adopted children instead of having their own. Burns and Allen did the same. And Jack Benny & Mary Livingstone.
Fertility issues.
All enuics n comics.
Poor Redd died dead broke. But Grady Grady he:s still shady.

Amen👽👍
THE REASON FOR THE LONG MARRIAGE HAS TO DO WITH THE FACT HE WAS NEVER HOME MORE THAN 2 WEEKS AT A TIME.
Plus he was sausage swinging round the 🌎 world.
Yes he plugged many women with his sausage by all accounts.
$0.5 billion helped, too.
31:18 bing was ahead of his time
I agree with bing Crosby about weed legalization
I'm ever much an authoritarian pretty much as Bing says he is.

Sad that Redd was such a genius but couldn't get out of his own way

16 dogs? Damn,Redd
Yikes, Bob Hope was naive about politics. Or am i just jaded?
Softball craaap questions
Crosby's son blew his brains out. Der Binger said "Ah Boom boom boom."
People were too hard on Nixon. If a democrat did the same crap, it would be okay. SAD.
Calm down, grandpa. You know deep down in your tired old heart that ain't true.
Don’t mess with Sam Irwin.
@@mackdaddyg321 🤡
Nixon WAS a crook.
Bing Crosby was mean to his children.
Um debunked rubbish.
Said by a nepo baby. That then retracted it.
Even back then bashing Christianity straight garbage.
