This show aired the year I was born. Somehow, I find it 100 percent better than anything on TV today. These men would get cancelled in todays world. think about that
Actually, years later, Johnny grew quite weary of the Hope interviews. He drove him to the edge, boredom and too little spontaneity on Bob's part. Always scripted... I can see his point. Loved em both, tho. 👋💜
Apparently all of Bob's replies were always scripted by his writers, and Johnny hated interviewing him, feeling he was incapable of giving a genuine and spontaneous interview.
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 60 años de carrera apareció en teatro, radio y televisión, en películas de cine, y en actuaciones para el ejército de los Estados Unidos.
Eyes wide shut. The guy tapping. Remember he couldn’t stop tapping things. He’s the main bad guy we never really know. It’s god dang bob hope who they’re talking about. This interview confirms it. WOWZERS!!! Lol.
Remember Ed used to do all them commercials live while taping..so he had to get up and walk to the set . Ok ..we are back to normal again. @@brianoneill7186
Kathy Young Bob and Johnny always had the dominant thing going on between them, if u watch a lot of episodes with Bob as guest on the Tonight Show. U can be calm, Bob wasnt nervous one bit 😂 He did it only to make Johnny a bit disturbed, but Johnny held his ground.
@@NickPlaysShit Johnny was a very decent drummer. Buddy Rich gave him a kit and Johnny would play during his spare time. There used to be a clip of Johnny playing with the band and was very good. Johnny also was a pretty fair singer
The constant screwing around with the pencils (every time he came on the show) must have almost caused Carson to want to strangle him! I don't know how Johnny took it!
Johnny did not like Hope. That pencil tapping was like Chinese Water Torture. But yea, he hated him but had respect for him. Also, Carson had his deepest voice during this era of his show due to his incessant cigarette habit of 3 to 4 packs a day. Carson also hated it that he left during the interviews.
that is a myth....Hope and Carson knew that the network bosses insisted that Hope go on the Carson show to promote his Specials...The Carson show had an audience of about 3 million night-owls...Hope's prime time specials drew 80 million viewers....so Carson had no way to prevent NBC from promoting Hope's specials on Carson's show
@@essessessesq Thanks, we'll just call you the original myth buster. Very interesting numbers and Hope (based on the numbers alone) must have been pulling in about 10M annually vs. Carson's 1M annual (or perhaps it's Hope pulling in 20M/yr. and Johnny pulling in 2M/yr if you go by the numbers.
@@harpoon_bakery162 yes. you're right, Bob Hope made a fortune from his highly-rated TV specials, which is why NBC kept him under contract for 60 years, until he was actually physically unable to do them anymore because he was well into his nineties...more trivia....Groucho Marx's son wrote a bio of Hope and revealed that Bob had shaved 3 years off his age early in his career...so Hope really turned 100 in the year 2000 and lived to the age of103
I watched this without any preconceived notions and started reading the comments and just don't see any friction between Johnny and Bob. Sure, Bob is mainly there to promote some show, which must have been awful since they cut out the clip of it. Overall it was average funny for a Tonight segment.
It's been said that Bob Hope went on Johnny's show whenever he wanted (very powerful guy at the time), and often just to promote an upcoming TV special. Hope always needed to have jokes prepared ahead of time, so before an appearance with Johnny he'd have his people send Johnny a list of several questions that Johnny would have to ask Bob on the show, and Johnny was not to stray from them; answers were prepared ahead of time for laughs. I can only imagine how Johnny reacted mentally to such nonsense. Hope was always scripted, Johnny was often spontaneous and loose. So it was a bad mix. I think Bob was fidgeting so much here (pencils) because he was edgy or nervous. A TV taping like Carson's show, without any prep or cue cards, may have been trying for him. Strikes me as insecure to behave like that. Maybe he was secretly resentful or envious of Carson's easy manner and relaxed demeanor.
NBC insisted that Hope go on shows like Carson's to promote Hope's specials.....remember, Carson's late night show had an audience of 3 million viewers...but Hope's prime-time specials drew 80 MILLION viewers...Hope was BIG $ for NBC...Carson was small potatoes...Carson was well aware of that...and NBC never offered Carson a prime time show....unlike Carson's 2 predecessors as host of the Tonight Show...both Jack Paar and Steve Allen graduated from the Tonight show to prime time NBC shows, and both of them were successful...but NBC never gave Johnny a shot at prime time.
Johnny's daughter said he hated Bob... Bob couldn't ad lib the show it was a list of questions in a specific order of ask and answer...he said if I ever get like him just shoot me...

true
Bob Hope, Johnny Carson!True legends ,those were the days..
Johnny Carson and Bob Hope were the best at what they did! And what they did was excellently entertain the public. EXCELLENT!
Bob Hope tells Johnny as he walks out, "Well, you are going to have a great show tonight. I saw Rickles out back walking his pet cobra."
Eh no, we can hear it loud and clear Einstein
Bob, and Johnny really admired, and respected each other ...you can tell
Actually, years later, Johnny grew quite weary of the Hope interviews. He drove him to the edge, boredom and too little spontaneity on Bob's part. Always scripted...

That Ed Johnny banter was better than the interview, I would have preferred that for ten minutes. No offense to Bob fans.

@@danieljoseph9439 read the same thing.also notice how he took johnny pen as soon as he sat down. I think he was trying to irritate him.

ayr1225 Yup, absolutely!
Ed wasn't on the couch after the break. Wonder if that had to do with the contentious interaction with Johnny.
Or doing an Alpo commercial.
Luis Willis Maybe. Ed always used to sit next to Bob when he was on. It doesnt make sense why Bob should request it.
Remember Ed used to do all them commercials live while taping..so he had to get up and walk to the set . Ok ..we are back to normal again. @@brianoneill7186
How awkward. Hope kept messing with pencils on Johnny’s desk like he was nervous or eager to flee.
Kathy Young Bob and Johnny always had the dominant thing going on between them, if u watch a lot of episodes with Bob as guest on the Tonight Show.
U can be calm, Bob wasnt nervous one bit 😂 He did it only to make Johnny a bit disturbed, but Johnny held his ground.
he was very fiddly in another Carson show he appeared on, apparently very much needed his golf club whenever on stage 🤪
wait a minute. did Conan get his pencil ticking habit watching Bob Hope?!?!
that kids is why they pay Ed
Michael Bentine was on the Goon Show with Peter Sellers
Band was on strike...must have been a union strike
HERE CAUSE OF CONAN
Martin Bearne Link?
Johnny Carson was way more talented than scripted Bob Hope.
Hope stayed busy to stay sharp! Nothing, nothing got pass him!
what's with the pencil s
He used to play with those
Hope and Carson had a contentious relationship. Taking Carson's pencil was Hope's passive/aggressive attempt at throwing him off his game .
It’s the good club
John B. McLemore 100% right
@@NickPlaysShit Johnny was a very decent drummer. Buddy Rich gave him a kit and Johnny would play during his spare time. There used to be a clip of Johnny playing with the band and was very good. Johnny also was a pretty fair singer
Take the pencil off him.🤨🤨🤨
What was going on with the band during this time? Why weren't they there?
Erin Tesoriero On strike, I think.
There was a musicians strike.
docs mustache got caught in his trumpet.
The constant screwing around with the pencils (every time he came on the show) must have almost caused Carson to want to strangle him! I don't know how Johnny took it!
Yes, betrays a lot of tension, as well. It like someone using nail clippers. Ugh.
Ed getting a little mouthy lol

I suspect that it might have been nose 🍬 as well as the heavy cigarette habit.

@@essessessesq Some of those network honchos were lousy decision makers, or couldn't see what had promise even if it was right in front of them.
@@eduardo_corrochio you are exactly right about the network bosses. Jerry Lewis, for example, said they had the intelligence of a 12 year old kid

lol, Ed was drunk?
Poor Bob. Did Delores lay his clothes out for him?
I like Hope and I like Carson, but together, they are awful.
Johnny's daughter said he hated Bob... Bob couldn't ad lib the show it was a list of questions in a specific order of ask and answer...he said if I ever get like him just shoot me...
is there a genuine reliable source for that claim?
Evidence or propaganda?
johnny didnt have a daughter
Hope was always scripted and Johnny was more improvisational. They did not mix well on screen at all. Carson said Hope was his least favorite guest.
Ed McMahon was *such* a *load.*
Brando once said,,,,,,,The Money Hope had.......Just Fucking Retire.......Never thought Hope was Funny..
Because you're too fragile and uptight. Cope better.
Very odd performance by hope. The fidgeting is incredibly annoying.
