Back when a laser wit and brilliant timing meant something, young Bing, and Bob, tripping up Jimmy yet Jimmy is having none of it paying them right back. LOVE THIS!!
This is what you call winning the Trifecta from seeing three of the greatest stars in Hollywood history all together on one stage. Must of been one hell of a star-studded evening!
Although I loved Bob Hope, (and of course Bing too), and was taken by Jimmy... I can't help being swept away by the poise and charm of Bing. Such a refined man. Wow! ❤ And then I have to stop and remind myself that I loved Bob the most. 😊 They just don't make men like those anymore. 😢
Three absolute giants of the entertainment world! I consider myself lucky to have seen their work while they were in their prime. I met Jimmy in 1967, he was a joy to be around.
No entiendo inglés,pero solo ver a Bob Hope y las reacciones q provocaba me alcanza p reírme y alegrarme la vida aunque sea un ratito...tuve la suerte de ver películas de el en castellano y era genial..!maravillosos recuerdos...
It would have been perfect, if they also had Donald O'Connor on this segment. Having worked and costarred with Bing and Jimmy. Not to mention, had been a host himself several times.
You know this was one damm good Entertainment show on a Saturday night I always watched. TV was good back in those days not like now. I hate SNL at all its run its coarse and is not funny anymore to me.They don,t make these shows anymore as well as the guests to. Sad but now they are all passed on. I miss them....
Can you imagine today's "stars" or "entertainment" try and do this? This current generation is Pathetic and a Sad reality for folks today. Just Worthless...
Because Bing came up with his own lines, unlike Bob. It shows whenever they appeared in each other's shows. Either one went off the script. Bing usually reacted by throwing in a witty quip, and Bob would complain. No hate towards Bob, but he was very reliant on cue cards. Fact is, he was one of the first entertainers to use it.
Reminds me of a Jack Benny video clip with FredAllen and Eddie Cantor. Jack accidentally raised his arm in front of Eddie, whose comeback was "You're covering me." All ad libbed.
Pertaining to your comment, you are not alone. I will agree that this type of entertainment which I saw myself in my teen years was classy, elegant, clean and proper--not like today. At any rate, sadly enough, behind the scenes, Bob Hope was playing golf with Richard Nixon and Prescott Bush during the World War 2 years. Prescott Bush, through his Union Banking Corporation financed Hitler's rise to power. I am darn sure that Bob Hope knew about that. During the Viet Nam era, there was a company called the Hope Metal Forming Company which made parts for military equipment that was used in the Viet Nam war. Bob Hope earned big money off that war. While entertaining troops in Viet Nam, he would tell them hope you guys come home soon. Like hell he wanted them to come home soon. That war was earning big profits for him.
