I remember in Vietnam Bob Hope coming and for a hour or two we troops could laugh knowing the sacrifice he made each Christmas to do this wonderful thing since WW2. God Bless You Bob Hope! Rip
I believe he is the only entertainer I truly cared anything about. He did it right. Not overly insulting others, mostly making humor at his own expense while having the confidence and twinkle in his eye knowing we all had the same shortcomings. I miss the true entertainment values him and his generation provided. Godspeed Bob.
Yes. I thought it in paradoxical way: His existence was appropriate for that entire century, with his sense of comedy arriving about the same time the movie industry was rapidly developing into talking pictures. He just seemed to fit. Whether or not he was born in England made no difference. Whether or not he was "getting up in age" when the movie industry was starting to make real momentum in the 1940's. He just seem to fit. His humor and comical appearance were of the times - right up into the 1990's. Before entertainment & social media had disgustingly driven the style and quality of comedy out of the gutter and off to the sewage treatment plant. Which Im glad class acts like him, and my folks aren't around to see how worse society is nowadays. His existence was strange, perhaps even frightening in the sense that during his time he witnessed the not so good stuff of life, which included rapid transformation of military strategies combined with equally impressive development of equipment (subs, aircraft carriers, tanks, airborne deployment of troops, planes and of course, powerful bombs). As a result of those Great Wars, society rapidly transformed too - transportation, communication, cold storage, public utilities (esp. water related), work environments such as the production lines, modern medicine etc. etc. These things are good of course, except it means progress. With progress there's more people. With more people there are more problems. So it was good & bad times he lived in. He lived in an extraordinary era, punctuated as you noted from 1901-2003. Which I think is fine. If I was faced with living for a century, I would want the same timeline if I was to be so fortunate.
Bob Hope, 1 of a kind. Never aired his politics in his shows. Never jokes in poor taste. Always willing to give of himself. I know of 1 GI he gave a few laffs to while deployed in Hell. Thanks Bob, your kindness will never be forgoten.
Remember the days when the house would honor our fighting men and people with cheer instead of booing God bless Bob Hope one of the true American Heroes
@@bvaldes3703 "lack of self awareness" Speak for yourself. It is impossible not to be aware that there are those today, on the cultural ascendant that hold in contempt those who hold the world together.

He is not unaware that the king's whole court admires his new robes, he merely observes that the king is naked.
Eric you sadly are wrong. He entertained people in his films, comedy, at the many Academy Award shows he hosted and throughout World War 2 was one of the top people who entertained the U.S. troops overseas. All of the good he did I am sure outweighed the bad. Plus you seem to think that God would not forgive him. Also he divorced his first wife in 1934 and was married to his second until his death.
James Moyner so. He was evil. A sinner. People don't find God 2 MINUTES b4 their deaths. Adultery is evil aka a sin. His good wasn't good enuff 4 a holy God! Bob was a serial adulterer.
@@OikPoinFive "He was evil. A sinner." Does not the bible state that condition for every human? Does God weigh one sin more than another, or is it that we all are sin that makes us not presentable to God? Get off you holy high horse, the sin you have displayed in your posts (and that sin is numerous) does nothing to glorify God, only to spout your arrogance. God knows where Bob is, really none of your business...look after your own soul and leave the judging to the Lord.
Besides Red Skelton, Bob Hope was the only other Comedian I never got tired of. I watched them alot over the years...Many A time I woke up with a sore stomach because I laughed so hard the night before. Comedians today can't touch them.
Red Skelton overacted, had forced obnoxious humor unlike Hope. I mean let's see things for what they truly are. Robin Williams got away with obnoxious better than Red Skelton for example. Buddy Hackett, another exaggerated unfunny man.
Dance Lessons Orlando It's held Annually, he passed after the 2003 Oscars, so they gave him a tribute at the 2004 Oscars. Like they do with the in memoriam segment.
Eric unless he confessed his sins to God and asked for forgiveness before he passed away. Even if it was in the last few minutes of his life. The Bible says we are not to judge the condition of another persons soul, for we know not the inner workings of others. We can not say with any certainty whether or not a person is in hell only that we pray he or she asked for forgiveness. Comments like yours give Christians a bad name. All can be forgiven as long as we ask just as the prodigal son returned home and was welcomed by his father so we are welcomed by our Heavenly Father when we humbly ask for forgiveness. You should worry more about the condition of your soul and less about others. Shame on you
Mike Chermonitz bob hopes in hell. Was was a huge adulterer. Not a Christian. Bible warns masses go to hell only some 2 heaven. The rich n famous are even likelier to end in hell.
dr strangelove - Bob Hope passed away on July 27, 2003 and was honored, 7 months later or at the next Oscars, held on February 29, 2004 . The 2004 Oscars was honoring 2003 films and Celebrities that have passed since the last Oscar presentation; which was held on February 11, 2003.
By god, at least he stuck(no pun) to women. Very refreshing he’s not in Scotty Bowers book. Haha I think when he went before the perly gates, God said “ hell, at least you knew where to put it “
Wow, has times changed, Tom coming out to a “snappy tune” and honoring a patriot who happens to be a Republican. No race baiting saying he didn’t give enough for those with darker skin. Compare this with his endorsement of Obama.
A pedophile (Hanks) honoring an MKULTRA owner/programmer (Bob Hope). Read "Thanks For The Memories" by Brice Taylor to see just how evil BH was. He was horrible

It's been 10 years since this ceremony happened. Hard to believe. It only feels like yesterday I was watching it on TV. I was 10 at that time.
@@shakeybritches8089 That's what I was thinking...
It’s been 10 years since this comment, making this 20 years from the original tribute!
THE GREATEST OSCAR HOST OF ALL TIME!!!
The best there ever was or will be. Mr. Bob Hope.
Thanks for the memories.
Anyone here think it's cool how Bob Hope lived long enough to see the year 2000 (new millennium)? Considering the fact that he was born in 1903.

Ericjc49 wonder whats his thoughts on 9/11 and the war
Ericjc49 Ikr
OperationFatGuy sorry for not responding a year ago. But I read on IMDb that he and his wife expressed their horror during 9/11

He is truly missed
Bob Hope is an American hero and treasure
Born in 68 I was lucky to see him on TV along with some great actors, I miss those simple days
Remember the days when the house would honor our fighting men and people with cheer instead of booing God bless Bob Hope one of the true American Heroes
Most of the American wars were for money not for liberty nothing to honour there
Okay boomer

one of the greatest Americans.
@Peace World Bob Hope would be insulted by your statement
Bob Hope lived a full, rich life (100 years).
What is funny is that his 2nd wife outlived him. While he reached 100 Dolores reached 102 and dies in 2011.
James Moyner sadly Bob Hope committed much much adultery, a huge sin in the bible, which is real. Hope is still burning in hell and forever.

BOB HOPE. ABSOLUTE TREASURE
GREATEST.!! I think that’s All that Needs to be Said..
It’s honestly crazy to me that I know now that I am related to Leslie Townes (Bob Hope)
Great video and can we see the Steven Spielberg salutes Stanley Kubrick video please?
Memory eternal.
I think if you played the Forrest Gump Feather theme to a video of someone making their bed and flossing their teeth it would be emotional.
Did you all think tom hank voice sounds like bob hope voice...
They didn’t play “thanks for the memories” this time 😢.
So nice . . .
I would like to say my head is perfectly round

Back then when Oscars we’re great to watch friendly and funny and not boring and hateful like today’s Oscars.
is it too late to give him one? A posthumous oscar for his decades of films, tv shows, radio shows
What are you talkin' about, Ryan, huh? Bob Hope has received 5 Honorary Oscars
for his strongest efforts.
18!
Tom Hanks is my male version of Meryl Streep. love them both
