Hope was a leach when it came to audiences. All of his monologues for his specials were recorded using Johnny Carson's audiences, from the tonight shows. Everytime you see Hope on the Tonight show, he used that audience to tape his monologues.
Back when you could make innocent fun at the figures of the day including the President (one whom he supported and campaigned for and did again in 1992) and nobody got offended
That's from The Seven Little Foys, which is a charming film, but that scene steals the show. Cagney was a great dancer (he started out in musical theatre) and had brilliant comedy timing but became primarily known for his gangster roles, there are a few films where he dances though, and he did some good comedies. He was in his 70s and had arthritis during The Seven Little Foys, which makes it even more incredible.
Yea it was a few of the jokes he tries continuing but can't because of the applause so he waits a few seconds.. if it was fake he would just plow through and they would cut the applause around him.
Devin Michael Roberts True. In fact, not only was it a live audience, but for these specials he would come out and use Carson’s Tonight Show audience-which apparently annoyed the shit outta him 🤣
Elvis Mitchell in the New York Times, stuck with writing an appreciation on the same day as Canby's labored obituary fell back on the exhausted line that Hope always played the same character, which was Bob Hope. A fitting tautology. Hope was a fool, and nearly a clown, but he was never even remotely a comedian. Nobody had the bad taste to recall the moment at which Hope was openly booed by the grunts in Vietnam: He was to the comedy of the war what Nixon was to its negotiation.
You've commented on multiple Bob Hope videos with these tiresome little diatribes and vague references to his politics. No one is listening to you. Stop typing them and go watch Big Bang Theory or something.
@FutureIsNow Question: Did you like John Wayne? Every character he played was a variation of himself. If you were to ask any actor or actress, if they were going to be honest, they would tell you that, no matter what character they were playing, a majority of the character came from within. The best actors simply play themselves.
alex schroeder. He did topical humor. You were seven years old so it would not be amusing. He also sort invented modern stand up and he was in a lot of movies and vaudeville. That is why they say it. He was around when I was a kid so it is nostalgic if laugh out louf.
this video is made of laughs and applauses that comes out every 10seconds and last for 10seconds,and with an old man talking too.haha long live bob hope!!!
