Bob Hope on Don Lane Show with Bert Newton 

It is now 2024, and after watching this clip, this certainly brings back memories of some wonderful and great actors /comedians of the Hollywood era. I am in my 60's.

The first time I’ve seen Bob Hope talk without a script. He’s great. So easy to talk to. I thought I’d seen all the Don Lane shows but not that one. All three greats gone. We going to miss you Bert. RIP. Xx

what an era. you would swear we are on anothe rplanet at this point. RIP all these guys.

Those were the times when a celebrity was truly a celebrity. Love Bob Hope and all those who entertained us for many decades belonging to that era. RIP all and many thanks.

ONLY WISH WE HAD THESE DAYS BACK TOP NOTCH TALENT.MISS THEM ALL 8-((

I raised a glass for Bert, and my Dad, who also died last month. Two legends in my life. As a young child, Dad would let me stay up to watch Bert on the Don Lane show. We LOVED to laugh. Thanks for the Memories Bert xx❤🇦🇺

Love how Bob takes in the standing ovation...before he even sits down.

A really wonderful presentation; like nothing I'd ever seen before! Maximum entertainment and fabulous hosting. Thank you so much for this golden memory!

this is the best interview with Bob Hope ever

I wish I saw Bob live. He was a genuinely funny man. Don and Bert good here with Bert knowing his stuff.

Bert Newton who recently left this world, was a great natural entertainer. He had a super persona which drew everyone to him. As new immigrants we watched the Don Lane show twice a week which ran from 1975 - 1983. This show, above all else, was one filled with the very competent flair of Don Lane, but complemented hugely by Bert Newton. In this clip, Bert is a complete and confident ambassador for Australia. He does not in any way fawn before Bob Hope who was a legend in his own right. Every Australian should follow his example in being people from a great land down under. Rest on Peace Bert.

Don Lane, Bob Hope, and of course our Bert Newton. This has to be the best ever produced on Melbourne television. Always in our hearts.

Wow! Hearing Bert slip in a few jokes that absolutely kept up with one of the wittiest guys in the world! You can see Bob was totally aware of it.

Can't think of a better near hour of tonight show tv at any time anywhere over the past 50 years.

What a treat and a barrel of laughs the audience and peaple on tv who saw it were lucky now you’ve got rubbish on tv and they call themselves celebrities too

Oh! For the memories! A time when people had a life...

The all time late greats! Thanks for the memories!!!

Bob looked genuinely amazed when he came back, at Bert's request. One of the giants. Rip great man.

I love Bob Hope, he taught me how to be a smartarse

Whoever put this up thank you it was lovely too watch ❤

Thanks this.I was working at Nine when he visited. Huge thrill Did great shows at the Vic Arts Centre

Fantastic clip of the good old days in the 70's. Totally and thoroughly enjoyed this nice long interview with such a legend - Bob Hope - plus of course Don and Bert.

"In The Arm's of The Loving Angel's Bert" An Australian Legend, I Remember as a Teen you had me in Hysterical Laughter on the Don Lane Show. Your Light Will NEVER Go out. Make those Angel's Laugh Beautiful Soul Bert. To Beautiful Patti, Mathew, Lauren and Bert's Wonderful Grandchildren families and Friends you are in my kindest Of Thoughts. From Victoria. 🕯😣😇

What a love fest for Bob Hope down in Australia!

I saw Bob Hope at the Sydney Entertainment Centre, a legendary act!

The Don Lane Show was the Best , Bob Hope is a Legend

Bob Hope, LEGEND

Love how they take the piss out of each other and no one gets offended.not like now!!!!

This is from 1983.Bob Hope was 80 years old here.

This was a great show , great interview s and talented performers musicians and gentle men Thank you God bless you 🇦🇺♥️🙏❤️💖🌹

What a great show. Thank you

I can see why Florence Henderson made the comment that Bert Newton was an Australian version of Bob Hope. Bob & Bert seemed to have the same quick wit & were both loved by many. Only sorry Bert hadn't lived to 100 like Bob. Bert will be sadly missed by many & his funeral entourage will be huge. RIP to all these legends Don, Bert & Bob. There will never be stars like this again.

Usually Bob Hope would just respond in interviews with "Ain't that something" or "Can you believe that". Here he actually goes beyond.

Oh I remember this one loved the Don Lane show and Dear Bert Newton bitter sweet as they have now left for that big stage in Heaven Yes Thanks For The Memories RIP guys xxx

It is so sad to watch these programs because they have all gone now. They entertained us like no other. All the entertainers have all gone now. I loved them all . Now Bert has gone. These were good programs. Never to see again except on u tube Thankyou. Goodbye dear entertainers. RIP.

Don lane is be very good. I really liked him

This has taken me back over 40 years to when I was a teenager watching this in my lounge room in Melbourne. Magnificent!

All without cue cards. Bob Hope was great at unfiltered repartee. Thanks for the video post.

RIP BERT

Loved Don Lane. Great show.

Love Bob Hope, Don Lane and Bert Newton.

I grew up in a town close to Laurieton NSW... The older folk there, still fondly remember Bob and co, "dropping in" expectantly.

I loved Bop in the movies. Bop worked hard in the industry. We will all miss Bop.

The wonderful and fantastic bob hope and phylis dillet we will never see their like.again

if you have got to force yourself to laugh, please don't Don. Bob Hope can see right through you.

Bert was so much like Bob Hope .

That was great.

Bob Hope, what a legend. Funny story, Bob Hope said that his name was actually Lesley Hope, or Les Hope. He changed it because everybody used to call him Hopeless.😂. The Don Lane Show was so much fun. Don and Bert were so great together. Shows like that are gone forever. RIP Bob, Don and Bert.❤️

It was great to see Bob Hope back in Australia again!

That was so good 👍

This is a Blast from the Past, and what great times were had , amazed to hear Bob Hope's storys too , he was a true gent and entertainer , love Phyllis too , now being italian i got say John st peters was in fantastic form , he made peppi e turri with his comic freind what a Laugh.

Bob wanted to take Bert back to America he said he would be huge over there

Love Bob Hope ,Phillis And Bert

What an absolute legend and a wonderful man. RIP Mr Hope

Hope is wonderful...what a natural..

Great stuff!! Thanks.

This is awesome

The interaction between Hope & Phillis Diller would be frowned upon these days.

wonderful bob this is your life...haha, don and bert know their stuff great show and shows

a champion of the blue-rinse set

It was awkward to start, almost painful to watch but did get better to the point he appeared to be enjoying it. He was a great sport to do this and spend so long.

One great man and love the USA

Buy I will miss Bert Newton the most, love you Patty McGrath,

I never knew the legendary Bob hope performed on stage in Australia! ??

Rest in peace.

3 Greats Gone! Memories in our hearts.

She’s a great sport. Miss Bob Hope.

I miss these variety shows from yesteryear. TV nowadays suck!

A yank interviewing a Pom in Australia! Love to USA, UK, AUS

Thanks for this. But why put '73 if its the wrong year. What year is this, anyone?

what a major loss to the world both Bob and Don, great entertainment.

3 girls together...what a laugh !

This had to be 1983, not 1973. They talked about Reagan running for reelection.

All these people were real comedians you could have a real laugh at them and with them not like today where if you say the wrong thing you get sued by the political correct people

This show went to air in 1984

Luv donn

America had Bob hope: today with Biden it has No hope

Bert saved this

Do you have the Don's Wheel segment to this show?

great stuff have you got any more don Lane

"1952". "Over 30 years ago". That would make this sometime in the '80s.

Probably in 1979 when he was in Perth as well to host the Miss Universe ( or World maybe) in their 150th yr celebration.

got to 100 !

What's the song called

What year was this?

What year was this ????

This is circa 1977?

Jane Scali....wow....
