    Bob Hope
    Bob Hope rose to the top of every medium he touched: headliner in Vaudeville, Broadway star, radio icon, movie idol and superstar on television. His persona reached audiences of every age in every decade of the 20 th century.
    A popular star in Vaudeville, it was Broadway’s “Roberta” where Bob eventually caught the eyes of critics. In 1938, NBC signed him for a radio show that became a fixture in American homes. It wasn’t long before Paramount called on Bob. He went on to make 50+ feature films, including the hugely popular “Road Pictures” with Bing Crosby and Dorothy Lamour. In 1950, his TV career officially launched with “Star Spangled Revue.”
    An accomplished man, Bob’s greatest legacy was his commitment to American service personnel. For nearly six decades, at war or at peace, “G.I. Bob” crossed the globe with 57 USO tours for troops in WW II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the Persian Gulf War. In the history of show business, no one traveled so far, so often, to entertain so many.

    This was so good…..some legit real stars here, Campbell, Williams,…. Of course the jokes were supposed to be corny and eye rollers, the players were really into it too. Loved Dennis Faker’s reaction - not sure if it was rehearsed or not, but Bob Hope’s punter reaction seemed to say what the heck is going on here? Thanks for this upload. As a Canadian, I used to watch this on cable and always looked forward to it. Merry Christmas to everyone south of the border.

    I ALWAYS looked forward to the Bob Hope Christmas Special, specifically because of the presentation of the Associated Press All-American Football Team. It was, and still is, the preeminent All-American team. I miss this televised presentation so much, and when I see the unveiling of each year's team online, I always think about Bob Hope and his quips, with each player singularly jogging out.
