Bob Hope was almost 88 when this taped. We should all be so sharp at that age. He lived to be 100.
Actually if you watch any documentary on Johnny Carson...he told staff he didn't like interviewing Bob Hope because he was boring and needed a script during interviews. Watch the PBS special on Johnny to see for yourself.
@@robertnahum5823 Yes, I have read numerous articles that said Johnny had to follow a carefully scripted interview routine. If Carson asked a question out of order, Hope would give the the answer for a totally different question. I had always marveled at how quick witted Bob Hope was, but he was actually carefully scripted. I don't know why he didn't retire.
@@lucyloo2520 And Carson would have been ecstatic to have BH on. Audiences loved him and so did sponsors!!!
@@robertnahum5823 yeah I just watched a video talking of how he didn't like having Bob Hope as a guest, he wanted to improv with Bob but seems Bob had no idea how to improv, it was carefully scripted, which is kinda sad knowing a briliant comedian had pre much everything scripted when doing such things he did, I still love Bob Hope his movies what I've seen are great like 8 on the lam, I love that movie... I'm in my 30's and grew up with a lot of different shows and movies from way back...
@@robertnahum5823 anyone who watched this clip should see the genuine warmth and affection between these 2 men...they are both relaxed and having fun here....you can't fake that
the man Bob hope is a legend
At 88 he's funnier than most today.
No one alive today with the Star Power of these guys. Giants!
God bless this dear man who goes to see our soldiers all over the world. All American great man. So proud of him.
It contributed to his being able to stay well beyond his prime.
May he rest in peace he was a great entertainer .
This episode was playing the night an asteroid hit the pasture next to our house. I was about 5 years old and my mother was folding clothes while watching the show . Just as Bob walked to his seat on the show the house shook a little and a loud crash could be heard by the entire neighborhood. My dad , who was asleep instantly sprang out of bed and ran outside we all followed close behind, curiosity ran high for sure lol . When we finally fought our way through a tangle of legs and arms belonging to the neighbors and our parents, we could see that the field by our house was afire and black smoke filled the slight indention left behind by the impact . We all were talking loudly and at once , guessing what could have done this . A plane? Frozen shit from an airliner was my the best guess my dad could come up with and we all have him he'll about that foe weeks afterwards lol . Anyway, upon closer inspection the next morning, we deduced that a small meteor shower had occured and we had narrowly missed a direct hit at our address. By the look of the hole left in that field , not 500 yards away it would have definitely killed us all . That night I silently said a little prayer thanking God we were spared that night and I pondered what a fickle thing our lives and fate really are and how unbelievably small and fragile a human being is in a world that has no mercy and is never safe. And that's why I live each day as if it were my last as often as possible . God Bless Much Love ©®
You came up with all that when you were five years old? You must have been a smart kid for your age!😅

@@Dm-cg9nv not gods, but legends. You're obviously oblivious
@@johndyslin798 I'm not going to lie, I had to Google what oblivious meant. But what I mean is that I hate when people say things such as "there will never be another Muhammad Ali" or "music will never be the same as the 90s". I feel like we have many great talented famous people today. If I'm talking about talk shows, I think Conan O Brien is one of the best of today. The only thing I don't like about the talk shows from today is that they get political and it bugs.
Came here after watching the Conan O'Brien and David Letterman conversation on the relationship between Johnny and Bob.
HOPE had no say in that. NBC insisted he plug his specials on other NBC shows...Johnny knew that full well....Johnny also knew that Bob Hope pulled an audience of 80 MILLION viewers on prime time TV and earned NBC a ton more ad money than NBC ever made from Johnny's late night audience of only 3 million.
Conan and Letterman both disagreed vehemently with Bob Hope's political views, so i daresay they are hardly credible witnesses....besides which every word they said is nothing but hearsay and of no value....only Carson and Hope themselves could be credible witnesses on this matter
False. Mr. Carson's "Tonight" show produced seventeen percent of NBC's profits and had a nightly audience of FIFTEEN MILLION viewers at the height of his populartiy. Bob Hope was a bully. LOL.@@essessessesq
the FACT is that at Carson's HEIGHT [which was NOT his last 10 years, when he was SELDOM even on the show !] 15 million homes tuned in for some PART of the show....NOT for the entire hour....and these were mostly single people...HOPE, on the other hand, drew EIGHTY MILLION homes to see his PRIME TIME specials, and these were mostly FAMILIES with major purchasing power....and this is the obvious reason why NBC insisted that Hope go promote Hope's shows on all NBC talk shows...name-calling him a ''bully'' for doing his job for NBC is puerile playground behavior .Carson's demeanor shows that Carson respected and liked Hope....and many posters here do NOT like Hope but that dislike does not alter the facts stated above about Hope's huge ratings....NBC kept Hope on the air well past his age of NINETY for one reason only....he drew HUGE audiences and made a LOT of money for NBC....those are irrefutable FACTS @@strussman
Mr. Carson was strong all of the way to the end. However, around 1990, CBS started to pursue Jay Leno, and Arsenio was giving NBC a run for its money in the Demo.@@essessessesq
Bob Hope was the only person who could book himself on Carson.

@@2raw4sport Johnny's ratings in his career as host remained around 7% of all household with a TV ....not 7% of all viewers or 7% of all Americans, but 7% of all ''househilds''....in that era, a prime time show often drew all or much of every family to the show... could be 5 or 6 people... BUT .the 11:30 pm to 1 a.m. Tonight Show, conversely, was typically seen by only one or 2 people in a house.....a prime time show? let's take Red Skelton's show in 1967 tv season as an example....he averaged 29.8 % of all households with TVs...in other words, Red had 30% of all TV households in the usa watching with probably an average of 4 people viewing the show...Johnny had 7% of all tv households watching with an average of probably 1.5 people viewing....this means Red's prime time show had around 13 times as many actual viewers as Johnny's late show....i could not find any Nielsen numbers for Hope's TV specials but they certainly drew as many viewers as Red's weekly show....so THAT is why NBC had Hope go plug his shows on Johnny's shows...Hope prime time specials drew a huge audience of families that was 13 TIMES as large as Carson's show with mostly lone night owls in the audience....needless to say, advertisers would have to pay a LOT more for every ad they ran on a Hope special than for an ad on Johnny's late show.
Love all these men. Im laughing tears!
Hard to believe that Johnny Disliked Bob Hope it’s Common knowledge but how Professional he was you’d never Know
Johnny sidestepped true feelings fellow entertainers. Jay Leno. Hope
Johnny was a little jealous of Bob hope
I heard Bob would show up to the show unscheduled and it irked Carson.
@@rogerbahakel8130 probably true....Bob Hope's prime time specials drew 80 MILLION viewers....Carson's late show had an audience of 3 million....NBC never offered Johnny a prime time weekly show....
@@oldgroucho2203 a myth....NBC insisted Hope go on Carson's show to plug his prime time specials....Johnny and Bob both knew that, and they had no control over it.

All time favorites
Bob Hope was a force of comedic nature.
Umm not really
@@r3tr0actiongamer24yeah. Hannah Gatsby is way better
''Hey Dan, This could have been you'' LOL
Two great gentleman
@Jeepman89 I really hope you are joking
@Jeepman89 i respect your opinion, but i don, t think is a real motivations
@@jd01ify Carson is incredibly tricky to understand. I think he is a phenomenal actor. We all saw him trying not to break up laughing about certain things he knew he shouldn't have. Much of what I read about Carson, I can say he had a dark side. He got very competitive as well, so I would not doubt there was jealousy, and I suspect this is what was going on with his feelings off-camera with Bob Hope. Also, notice how jealous he got when guests were having conversations without him... Carson was very nasty in real life. His lawyer Henry "Bombastic" Bushkin wrote a book on him called Johnny Carson. He was the closest person to him for a long time. I think we must understand that people are born and raised a certain way, become messed up in the head. Some of those will seek an outlet, or will try their best to prove themselves to others. Carson was always seeking his mother's approval, which I am betting he never got, and that seems to be a common characteristic with a lot of these famous people, like Burt Reynolds and Charles Grodin (even though his dad died early). Carson was the kind of man apparently to die alone. Lucille Ball also gave bad encounters to others, maybe with an exception where they had a kid with them.
Now did these people give great entertainment? For sure. Were they good at what they did? Yeah. This is what they work to do, to bring entertainment, which is medicine to others. Their real life does not matter in comparison. Their product is, a.k.a encouragement of laughter.
Bob Hope was a massive talent, as was Johnny.
Agreed!!
Both were better Oscar hosts than Jimmy Kimmel!
Carsons show was legendary. The guy was funny...
Dont read these crummy comments. Hope is 88 here. Still funny. Always a legend. Love to see him and Bing together
I understand how hard it is to come to a realization about a celebrity you admire, but it doesn't make their foibles any less true.
@@lucyloo2520 I love both their work I don't know them or care about thier foibles possibly if they were Nazi's it would trouble me but there are plenty of unenlightened people that I loved and still hold in high regard, people make mistakes and have mental health issues. My best friend has terrible PTSD and unbelievable mood swings that sometimes become abusive. I don't judge people. I value their work especially when they grew up in a different world and background that I could never understand or put myself in their shoes. Hope loved America and gave his all for his fans and the troops during wars. Unless you flew to Vietnam with bombs bursting overhead to give some solace and entertainment for the boys neither should anyone else.
Bob Hope: “Isn’t that something?” “Yeah, how about that?”
Bob Hope overstayed his welcome. It’s not incompatible to appreciate him while recognizing that. Carson, on the other hand, knew to leave at his peak, and allow a reverence to grow in his absence. Hope did K-Mart commercials in the late-90s. It is what it is.
@@victorkong82 if you don't think there was and still is a reverence for Bob Hope then you really don't know what you're talking about. Fans are fickle but people who truly are fans and enjoy someone's work continues to watch and support them no matter how old they are. Now you may think people have an expiration date and they shouldn't still perform. And some people troll online to just be little people, Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire still couldn't dance like they used to but it was fun seeing them in That's Entertainment part 2 and it was fun seeing Gene Kelly in Xanadu. People with talent are not the ones that need to retire at a certain age. It's the politicians that lose touch in their 70s or God forbid 80s and 90s. How can old people understand or identify with anyone growing up today or the middle class? If you have dispersions to cast go there to people making decisions not writing a book or lecturing like they could do better. I'm always happy to see old Hollywood in commercials and Miller Martha Ray June Allison Bob Hope Betty White, True fans find it delightful to see one of their old favorites 9n a talk show, cameo or commercial, you'd rather judge and decide whether or not they can still do what they used to do and analyzed their performance That's not we we"re supposed to do You're supposed to just enjoy it or turn it off if you don't. . Do yourself do yourself and Try to be a more positive person I feel sorry for the people around you and they would have probably appreciate that effort. The fact that you feel the need to come on here and make this bearing comments says a lot about you. Work on your perspective your family and friends will appreciate it that is if you have any of the latter. You can tell a lot about people that come on here and judge others it's not a good thing.
Love Bob Hope for his devotion to comedy for the regular person!
Nice suit! Black is Johnny’s color.
Amazing... regardless 🇩🇰🇺🇸🗽🦅🌠📫🙏😊
I get out of sync when I’m in Malibu too bro
If Johnny hated Bob Hope, I don't see it
Johnny Carson famously hated interviewing Bob Hope. This was near the end of "The Tonight Show," and Bob seemed pretty sharp and entertaining at this point. So, I don't get it.
I don't think Johnny hated Bob, he just hated interviewing him. He thought Bob had "stayed too long at the fair" and should have retired sooner.
Maybe Bob had lost a little step in this clip and was a bit slower in his delivery, but I don't think it was THAT bad.
Carson could not stand Bob Hope.
The big issue with Bob, is that Bob has greater leverage at NBC than Johnny and they both knew it.
When Carson took over The Tonight Show in 1962, Bob was already a fixture at NBC for 25 years. Bob was allowed to appear anytime, without notice..This effectively bumps some other guest off the show for the night... It didn't help that Bob was almost 30 years older than Johnny and that Bob was heavily dependent on his cue cards..
Don't get me wrong, I love watching both Johnny and Bob. I can understand frustration that Johnny has. But, he still has tremendous respect for Bob.
Leslie Townes Hope. It was 21 years ago - I barely recall it now but I had a story about the late born in Eltham, England comedian.
Bob has a very sharp mind for his age
always quick witted to the end...on his 99th b-day he told the press "I'm so old my blood type has expired"
GREAT VIDEO ! MONDAY 11/20/23 NOVEMBER 20, 2023
If Johnny Carson detested Bob Hope, he really hid his feelings well. lol. This is how a Pro behaves.
I used to love Bob Hope and rush home to watch his Specials. I never understood why my friend's mother could not stand him either, until I got into my forties. LOL. He stayed much too long, by about fifteen or twenty years on television.
I never thought he was funny.
and yet, NBC continued to make Special prime time programs with Hope until he was well into his 90s....and why? Because Hope drew audiences of 80 MILLION VIEWERS to his TV prime time Specials, that is why....Hope's prime time shows drew more than TEN TIMES the small audience that Johnny's late nigh show had....NBC made a fortune from Hope, and Johnny knew that very well
Mr. Carson was the single highest grossing talent in the Television Industry. At one time, his "Tonight" show generated seventeen percent of NBC's TOTAL proft. Mr. Hope had a life time contract with NBC, and because of his history, it was difficult for them to "cancel" him until 1996.@@essessessesq
They were contractually obiligated as Mr. Hope had a lifetime contract with NBC.@@essessessesq
Do you have any Deborah Kerr interview ?
90 % of the comments are about Johnny not liking Bob
and there is not a shred of actual EVIDENCE offered by anyone here that Johnny ''hated'' Bob Hope....whereas Johnny here appears to genuinely LIKE Bob Hope
Two great talents. I would Lucille Valla.
Bob Hope gave personally & financially to many charities.
The US govt paid him millions of dollars for those trips " for the troops "...he didn't suffer
Is there Hope in Bob? Or Bob, in Hope? And who's drinking Scope? Does the Pope, drink 🍸 Scope? 😁 Nope ...let's keep coping
Carson evidently hated having Hope on....
Don’t believe everything you read.
yes, and you can just see Johhny SEETHING with HATE here, right/ hahaha
he seems pretty good to me..."Hope" I'm as sharp at his age...
Yeah, how bout that
Bob Hope was 88 and Johnny was 61. So Bob was a whole older generation than Johnny.
Johnny was 66 here.

Bob Hope (Eltham, Reino Unido; 29 de mayo de 1903 - Toluca Lake, California; 27 de julio de 2003), nacido como Leslie Townes Hope, fue un artista estadounidense nacido en Inglaterra, que durante más de sesenta años de carrera apareció en teatro, radio y televisión, en películas de cine, y en actuaciones para el ejército de los Estados Unidos.
Copied and pasted from Wikipedia
I don't think he hated him .. hate is a strong word .. maybe some things about him annoyed him but if he truly hated him why have him on the show ? edit: nevermind .. someone else mentioned he had a deal with nbc to promote his specials and carson had no choice but to have him on oh boy
I don't think Johnny hated Bob. He may not have been his favorite guest, but you can tell Johnny respected him. Even if Johnny was required to have Bob as a guest, at that point Johnny knew he was retiring, he could have done the interview without the flattering comments about Bob. Carson seemed very genuinely engaged in the interview and would have no reason really to fake it at that point.
HOPE had no say in that. NBC insisted he plug his specials on other NBC shows...Johnny knew that full well....Johnny also knew that Bob Hope pulled an audience of 80 MILLION viewers on prime time TV and earned NBC a ton more ad money than NBC ever made from Johnny's TINY late night audience of only 3 million. Johnny and Hope were both pros and both knew how NBC worked...Hope was a star on NBC TV and radio for over 60 years. Johnny knew that
That KIDDIE SHOW. THE GOLDEN GIRLS!
In a book I read it said Carson did not like Hope, this is true …. Hope needed everything scripted because he had no real ability to improvise which was Carson’s style - So Carson had to stick to a script with Hope and he hated that. If you watch during any pause Hope just sits there no ability to keep things going - Johnny had to work 2x as hard.
Johnny's daughter said he hated Bob 🤪
Hope appealed to an older, more sophisticated audience...for the "high society"...
very snooty
Carson had a daughter?? I thought Johny had three sons.
@@rwood87 that was Fred MacMurray
Since Bob Hope was a whole generation older than John Carson it's easy to see why they didn't click, I watched a video before this how Carson didn't like Bob Hope on his show he tried to improv with Bob but he didn't seem to know what improv is etc, his disliking grew over time until he decided to stop doing his show in '92... it is disappointing Bob needed scripts to go off but I still love him regardless he was still a great comedian regardless...
total bullshit
Guests: Bob Hope, Richard Harris, Helen Thomas. Love Johnny but you can't blame the 1991 audience for looking for a little more excitement elsewhere. Johnny picked the right time to call it quits.
I'd take that lineup in a heartbeat compared to the crap today.
@pete smyth Not true.
Carson privately wasn’t a fan of Hope .He said Hope was too scripted and used cue cards .
Yeah, but Carson was smart enough to keep an even keel for everyone. It's what made him so successful...and everyone thought he loved everyone! LOL
@@HelloooThereBob had a lot of pull at NBC. Carson would have never invited Bob on if he didn't have to.

Bob Hope relied so heavily on his writing team for jokes, it was forbidden for any improv in his presence.
That's not true. He ad libbed a lot. But yes some were scripted,like most.
thanks for putting some TRUTH into this ''i hate Bob Hope'' nonsense!@@letsgobrandon6281
Interesting to see the comments accentuate the negatives on a guy that entertained troupes while you sit at home in mommy's basement playing x-box, criticizing an American treasure
bravo for this!
I grew up loving Bob Hope, Groucho, Bob and Ray, Alan Arkin, etc. Johnny was quoted by many re his distaste for Bob Hope, if true, I do not see a hint during this interview. Is it jealousy? Bob was incredibly wealthy chased many beautiful women and was #1 forever.
I suspect so. He does a damn good, detailed, and specific way of highlighting what makes him admirable to look up to. People are weird...
Johnny was jealous, but it wasn't petty jealousy. It was that Bob Hope ruled NBC long after his ability had declined, and Johnny had to cater to him. He said Hope became a worse and worse guest over the years, but anytime Hope came by he had to be put on the show, because you can't say no to Hope.
Part could be jealousy, a video I just watched a little while ago states his disliking towards Hope was because he was scripted, and he wanted to improv with Bob but seems he had no idea what improv was 🤷♀️ and so Carson's disliking to Bob Hope grew until he decided to stop doing his show in '92... again part of Carson's disliking of Hope could be jealousy but not necesarilly solely....... Bob Hope was a great comedian regardless

A classic moment from the silver screen: [co-star]: "A zombie has no will of his own. You see them sometimes, walking around blindly: dead eyes; following orders; not knowing what they do; not caring. [Bob Hope:] You mean like the democrats?"
I wonder if Bob realizes that Johnny hates him.
Why do you say this
@@russellflacco7811 Check the book that Carson's lawyer wrote on him. He was the closest person to Carson for a very long time. He was a very nasty person. Its interesting how good these people are at acting. Regardless, he did give good entertainment, and his class was pretty admirable with guests.
@@russellflacco7811 Also, listen to Letterman and O’Brien discuss Carson’s thoughts on Hope. It’s here on CZcams. Carson came to do a guest voice on “The Simpsons” when O’Brien was one of the writers, and had some funny stories to tell about Hope.

Bob sold NBC the Burbank property they built their studios on. Part of the deal was that they would run his specials as long as he kept cranking them out. Johnny despised Bob Hope for not hanging it up after his act became irrelevant and embarassing. Bob only came on Tonight when he was plugging one of his "specials" (Tonight Show had to allow him on) and then immediately split.
Johnny does a pretty convincing job of hiding his disgust.
Bob was still lucid here, but by 1992, his hearing worsened, and in his last appearance with Johnny, and first with Jay, it was obvious he was going downhill. I have a hard time believing Johnny found Bob 'senile' when this interview was done.

To be honest I never thought Bob Hope was funny and as he got older he got worse.
Well .... to your point: Bob Hope was Carson's least favorite guest. As seen here Hope refuses to have an authentic conversation, preferring to fire off his readymade jokes & plugging his next TV special.
Bob's persona in his very early films was funny and engaging. But by the late-1950's he had become a self-parody of his own comedic character; reciting unfunny jokes on auto-pilot; cranked out by an army of mediocre writers.
