Publisher's summary

This episode of Bob Hope's classic NBC radio show originally aired on November 12, 1946.

Bob Hope made his radio debut on NBC in May 1937. He became a top-rated fixture on Tuesday nights with his theme song, "Thanks for the Memories". His legendary broadcasts from military bases around the world helped boost American morale during the dark days of World War II. Over the years, his radio regulars included Jerry Colonna, Brenda and Cobina, Vera Vague, Wendall Niles, and orchestras led by Skinnay Ennis and Les Brown. Featured singers on the show included Judy Garland, Frances Langford, Doris Day, and Gloria Jean.

Hope's radio career lasted well into the mid-1950s. By then, he had become a major movie and television star. He died on July 29, 2003, at the age of 100.

wow Bob Hope Is Really Hilarious

I'm 34 so I wasn't around during his time in Hollywood I'm too young jeevan remember Bob Hope. I just remember him and reruns of old shows on TV at night. But I'm just listening to this and this is great he's like Saturday Night live cleaner more moral not as dirty which I love I don't like dirty jokes. He's just a lot funnier than today's jokes and so much easier for the whole family to be able to enjoy this a lot better than crap on TV.also did you notice that they make fun of Democrats which is a nice change as a republican myself it's nice to know that at one point Hollywood was Republican until everything changed in the elite took over and told them all that nature should become Democrat and go against our country before the 1960s Hollywood was pro-America not an enemy of America
