The Tonight Show with Jay Leno - Bob Hope Interview (November 27, 1992)

Another video recently digitized from my Betamax/VHS archives. Bob Hope on an episode of Jay Leno's Tonight Show- November 27, 1992.

He is 89 years old and very cognitive, informed and articulate. I can't say that about most people that age

[@SlickArmor]

Actually, he was not in good shape cognitively as he had a complete script they had to go by. Something that really angered Jay.

[@dougdanzeisen9608]

Bob still seems pretty sharp at 89 to me. He was pretty funny, if no longer as topical.

John: yeah that's right, bob hope show and bob hope specials were made at the time when jay leno is born.

[@johnsjohnson448]

I loved Mr. Hope as a kid and would rush home to watch his specials on NBC. Now, I look at him differently as a cheating on his wife, self-promoting, self-centered, and selfish human-being. He was stingy with his money, and stayed too long.

Man I don't want to get that old

[@Ben_Hattie]

That music Bob left to didn't fit him at all 😆

[@RangerVickyJohnson]

Haha 😂

[@johnsjohnson448]

The Band probably played a "dark" tune because Bob likely crapped in his pants.

"Purple Haze" (Jimi Hendrix)

[@johnsjohnson448]

Once Jay and his team studied the demo numbers, Bob Hope never again made an appearance. LOL.

[@actownsend7288]

Jay respected Bob now

[@tw364]

@johnjphnson wrong that was up to NBC.

[@johnsjohnson448]

Jay AND NBC.@@tw364
