Bob Hope: This man gave the world over 80 years of entertainment greatness. He rose the ranks from vaudeville to radio to movies to television to everything else in between. Most importantly, though, he devoted an astonishing amount of time to US troops, having supported and entertained troops overseas with his USO tours in every war and conflict that occurred between WWII to the Gulf War. He was the best emcee in the biz, a generous philanthropist, and just soooo funny. Bob Hope gave the world so much of himself. Listen to his remarkable story now!
