Bob Hope was one of America's most cherished stars. He was often compared to Bing Crosby whose place in American history was as important as Hope's. However, they had distinctively different styles on the air. While Bing Crosby was mellow and easeful, Bob Hope was much like a "machine gun" firing jokes one after the other. |
