FILMED 4-4-1975 at UCLA's PAULEY PAVILLION. A sold out paying crowd too. Also on the show were LES BROWN and his band -AMERICA-FLIP WILSON-ARETHA FRANKLIN. I was one of the basketball players that carried Mr. HOPE off-stage, what fun.
Very funny and yet a very harmless sense of humor. No swearing, nothing obscene. Also actors of their generation spoke more audibly. And its a pity John Wayne was not on stage more often...
Is it me, or does there seem to be a sad loneliness in this world now that the Duke is gone. The likes of which we shall never see again. I never knew the man personally, but there was something about him, some thing that is long gone now, and not in my life time will there ever, ever be another like the late great John Wayne. God rest you in peace John. Some day i'd like to shake your hand in person. For the joy you brought to the world, through your films. RIP Mr Wayne.
I agree with you 100%. But you see it was more then just watching John's films, it was almost like you were there in person, that's the feeling i get when i watch John Wayne, he was such a gentle man, a kind man, and was never too proud to share a joke and just be him self. I can tell you, if there were more kind men like John Wayne in the world today, this world we live in would be a much better place.
It's too bad they never made a movie together. They did do another skit where Bob asked Duke if they could work on a film. Duke hesitated, saying he mostly makes westerns. When Bob explained that he has ridden horses, Duke replied, "But Bob, those are merry-go-round horses!"
My Grandfather had Bob Hope and John Wayne as neighbors, and Gramps coached a little league team that was sponsored by John Wayne. Mr. Wayne didn't just write a check, he would sometimes show up at the games to cheer the kids on! It was a different era, the era that brought us other heroes like Ronald Reagan. How sad that in America today we have so few celebs and fewer politicians who stand up for America.
So well said. Mr. Wayne pulling this demonstration out. My America has been given over to Globalism..Now, my President, Mr. Donald Trump is going to get us back on the map because he is like John Wayne...a Patriot. To hell with all haters of our Constitution and our Republic, now and forever. Thank you for this video>
@Rich Hartley I know this is some years late. Catching a glimpse of the democrats debate. No American flag shown. How disgusting it has become these days
This was filmed 4-4-1975 at PAULEY PAVILION on the UCLA campus. I was one of the basketball players. It was really a cool gig, as there was a full 'paying" audience who saw full sets by ARETHA FRANKLIN-FLIP WILSON-AMERICA LES BROWN & of course Mr. Hope. Thanks for posting this video, brings back some memories.
I was a huge UCLA fan back in the day and without knowing any info on this clip I knew they were having fun at John Woodens expense. If it was on T.V. I probably watched this real time because these three were my dad's favorites and they would have had top priority over anything including an UCLA game.
Those were the days when true comedians could be funny without resorting to being crude. John Wayne loved America and stood up for her so much that the mass murderer Joszef Stalin put a contract out on John Wayne.
Imagine conservatives invited to a college and the left didn't try to burn it down. Does anyone notice how happy all those students seem to be. What happened to us and out college institutions?
most people never knew what a generous and funny man the duke was,, many Hollywood celebrities said he was the nicest person they ever met , and he was also an avid outdoors man befoe it became taboo in hollywood
I don't think the young people know who Stewart was. They barely know Hope. But I will bet they saw John Wayne and "dog." The most special thing I ever have done was put my two brothers on my shoulers at the same time so that they could see and listen to Bob Hope.. I was 12, it was 1969. I couldn't see him, and I truly felt that my shoulders were breaking, but it was important to me that at least my brothers would get to see his entire show. There were 10s of thousands of ppl there who for the most part couldnt see the show unless they had $10 to sit up high. We got in free to stand on the race track because we were 12 or under. Bob Hope!
There aint no real men on the screen today... with the exception of the cast of The Expendables movie cast.. brawniness personified.... those two great actors.. are truly missed... anyway what we mostly got are fuckin girly men Robert pattison Taylor lautner and young boys taking on macho roles they aint believable in
omg . two absolute legends in one place at the same time , you couldnt get much graeter star power than these two giants , an absolute joy and very funny
Wayne and Hope were both good sports about their comedy, and both ribbed themselves as much as they ribbed their targets. Wayne's appearance at Harvard to accept his "Brass Balls " award is classic. He answered their insulting questions with funny responses, they applauded him roundly, and Wayne talked for a week about the good time he had.
That's true. He also made jokes about his (perceived) limitations as an actor. If he'd made a few films as a baldy man I don't think anyone would have thought any less of him. Most bald actors have their fair share of female admirers. Look at Sean Connery.
There was so much ham on that stage you could of served Easter dinner! - LOLOL No, but seriously, what a rare treat. Two classic legends on one stage, enough career history to make a Time-Life commercial! - LOLOL
But really, if I'd have been writing for them I'd be wealthy now! Actually when I grow up I want to be just like one of them.......,Oscar Levant! - LOLOL, LOLOL, LOLOL !
Great what Duke replied when asked if his hair was real.. Its real, its not mine but its real.. I am not certain that's an exact quote but very similar..
You're not alone. I tried and tried to find a Duke Wayne calendar last December, but they were sold out eveywhere!!! It's not just people in the US that love Duke, he has "fans" all around the world. No other movie star who has been dead for over 30 years has the "fans" that Duke has, not Clark Gable, who was the "King of Hollywood" or anyone else! Duke stuck a chord with people all over the world, even Khruschev loved his movies that were pirated and dubbed in Russian!
God bless them both and their craft and their contributions to the world of acting, humor and just beimg decent humam beings. The world we live in now is truly lacking Now thst it's Fueled on th Tesrs of Liberals.
Today, two patriotic, conservative celebrities (Do we still have two anymore?) would not be invited to any college campus I can think of; and, if they showed up, they would be treated very poorly, not unlike General Petraeus was in New York.
Songs Mirth : Free world, you can say what you like, you may have experienced death through smoking, if so I sorry. Everyone has a choice. My Great Aunt smoked 20 un-tipped woodbines a day (you cannot get them anymore) she lived to be 97. As far as smell of smoking, I agree with you, I smoke, but not indoors or around my Grand Kiddies. as far as kissing someone, LMAO, I never had any problems :-)
I didn't understand any of the jokes atall. I also was bewildered when the audience reacted in a serious applaud manner to some phrases as though they were from a real speech.
Kevin Costner is what we have today. I like some of his work but by comparison.... he's just a lump in the road and will never like many of todays era will never reach the heights the Duke did.

My Aunt & Uncle lived on that farm. my aunt was the housekeeper/maid my uncle did odd stuff around the place. They loved the place.
John Wayne was the best.
Legends like this we'll never see again, and the world's the poorer for it!
Hope funded terrorism in Palestine.
He was the best
Very funny and yet a very harmless sense of humor. No swearing, nothing obscene. Also actors of their generation spoke more audibly. And its a pity John Wayne was not on stage more often...
after seeing this wonderful sketch and reading your comment I thought it was a pity john wayne didn't do more comedy

Yes, he and many others defined a generation so very missed...😊
The Duke was blessed with a great sense of humor; this clip is a day-brightener....
Rest In Peace, sir...
If you dont get the jokes, your young, and thats ok.
Laugh out loud funny & neither man said a dirty word....LOVE it!
Jo DeMarc yes they did...
Two legends. Never will we see something like this again.

I love old videos like this. Comedy isn't the same anymore...
You are so right.
yes. so right
Yes. The trick is to be clean and funny.
@@BuckyBrown-lt4ry As Larry Fine once said in an interview, 'You Don't Have To Be Dirty To Be Funny'.
It never was. Comedy is always evolving.
Real Stars.hollywood is dead to me now.All I watch are the old classics now
You said it for me right on buddy, just had the urge to comment though
@@tuckhorse me too hollywood sucks now nothing but garbage coming out
They probably wouldn't even allow "The Duke" there now. They would probably say he was too conservative.
@@srsykes49 the lousy conservatives today wouldn't welcome him
Both great men and both loved the troops in Vietnam. I saw Mr Hope in 1969 at Camp Eagle Vietnam...Miss them both dearly
John Wayne qui a bercé mon enfance restera à jamais le premier des géants dans mon cœur
NICE ONE!!! "DUKE"
R.I.P. JOHN WAYNE&BOB HOPE.
BOTH HILLARIOUS INDEED!!!
THANKS FOR THE POSTING.

You could expect no less from Mr. Wayne. He was they type, when he could manage in between jobs. Such a really TRUE American and humanitarian.
@Rich Hartley
I know this is some years late. Catching a glimpse of the democrats debate.
No American flag shown.
How disgusting it has become these days
@@richardfolkman well that didn't happen lol
The world is a sadder place without these two greats

Thanks John Wayne. Why? For your kind of justice. Oh, I know some people will say no. But I say yes.

U r lucky. those were some good teams
I was 16. Went there with my parents. It was an awsome show. So fun to watch

The big guy was blessed with good timing & a great sense of humor.
Rest in peace, sir....

Theirs is a level of genuine and deserved celebrity that few if any of todays performers will ever reach.
Excellent. Well worth watching. John Wayne and Bob Hope together in a good comedy sketch.
Yay Fairfax High!!!!

I cant believe it wayne is funnier than hope,but then bob hope is funnier than anybody.
There will never be another pair like John Wayne &
Bob Hope & they,were both great actors & comedians in,their own way.
This brings back so many fine memories that I am so glad that I had the time to see them again and again, that is fine for me!
most people never knew what a generous and funny man the duke was,, many Hollywood celebrities said he was the nicest person they ever met , and he was also an avid outdoors man befoe it became taboo in hollywood
@Roger B My what class you exude! Wayne had mega class. Study him. A lot.

Comedy as God ordered it! THANKS FOR UPLOADING!
Just read great bio about John Wayne. At least, we still have his movies.
There aint no real men on the screen today... with the exception of the cast of The Expendables movie cast.. brawniness personified.... those two great actors.. are truly missed... anyway what we mostly got are fuckin girly men Robert pattison Taylor lautner and young boys taking on macho roles they aint believable in
What awesome actors we had in the past !!!
I know this is kind of late . However these gentleman were not acting . They were having some fun with each other. And they did a damn good job of it.
Jeez, I miss these guys.
omg . two absolute legends in one place at the same time , you couldnt get much graeter star power than these two giants , an absolute joy and very funny
A couple of hard core republicans..
Two of the greatest actors of all time. So sad that they are gone.
never saw the Duke on stage before, very good! thanks
That's good STUFF!
Better than today, that's for sure.
I couldn’t believe how skinny Bob was ... no wonder he lived to 100 👍
The wonderful unforgettable Mr John Wayne love it n Bob Hope 😁😊April 7th
Thank you for posting this fun video - what a find!

John Wayne is 1 of my favorite actors! Love anything he acted in. Great man sad that hes gone. Love this skit
Geez did he mug Steve Allen for those glasses ??!
He was playing the role of legendary coach John Wooden in the skit. That is why he had the glasses.
I like John's toupee here.
Its hair just not his lol
those were REAL actors!!!
THAT WAS VERY FUNNY
had to be early to mid 70's True Grit was made in 69 and Brannigan was made in73 or 75. Both were mentioned here.
I think it's John Woodens retirement at UCLA in 75. That's where it's at and about the right time from what I've read.
That's true. He also made jokes about his (perceived) limitations as an actor. If he'd made a few films as a baldy man I don't think anyone would have thought any less of him. Most bald actors have their fair share of female admirers. Look at Sean Connery.
Hair or not John Wayne and Connery oozed charisma on and off screen. leagues above actors of today.
I've been a Duke fan all my life and I've never seen this one..... that I remember (lol).
John wayne's Long nosed,sweet heart eyed face,is in all Americas food...dangit...
John Wayne looked like Nelson Rockefeller in the scene. The glasses helped him read Bob's cue cards. Lol
john wayne never kept it a secret or tried to hide he joked about it quite alot
Love these two guys too!!
Thanks "Pardner"

It was taped at John Wayne's ranch because they couldn't get booked anywhere else! LOLOL !
and no profanity
The best
Hard to believe what used to pass for talent back then.

Thanks for the memories, they were wonderful.
Back then we had Wooden and Hope and Wayne then 40 years later we had Obama and Hope and Change. I miss Wooden Hope and Wayne
You're a word wizard.
We had Obama hope and change cause he was given the worse economy since the great depression.
Hollywood has not been the same since.

Jonh wayne is my beautiful husband
This is awesome.
JOHN WAYNE!!!
What a great bit. Thanks for uploading
They weren't completely honest, John Wayne wore a toupee and Bob Hope was born in London.
Can only wish Bob appeared in a film with Duke. Paleface meets True Grit

Remember him as Lew Alcinder
great stuff

Te amo jonhy wayne💕💕💋
wayne is tunny.bobis funnier
John Wayne is dead for two centuries, but Henry Kissinger is still alive. Bummer.
2 great friends!!
I can't believe it that one day when I'm gone from this sick world I'll get to meet these two gods.
Çan't wait!!!!
Great Film! Thanks!
I first read it as "LIl Wayne and Bob Hope Ham It Up". :D
I didn't understand any of the jokes atall. I also was bewildered when the audience reacted in a serious applaud manner to some phrases as though they were from a real speech.
Just wondering what year this was. The Duke seems terribly out of breath.
The title card said 1975. He had his left lung removed due to lung cancer in 1964 so, yeah, he's going to be struggling to breathe.
Kevin Costner is what we have today. I like some of his work but by comparison.... he's just a lump in the road and will never like many of todays era will never reach the heights the Duke did.
Very funny. Even funnier was the fact that the college students didn't scream them out of the auditorium!
The fact that this skit was utilizing the audience by acknowledging names of other schools and faculty made this audience feel included.
Two war hawks....who disgracfully cashed in on it.
Two legends poking fun at another legend John Wooden on his home court after UCLA won all those championships. Lol.
For me John Wayne is maybe the best symbol of America
It never occured to me John Wayne wore wigs!
With al his money couldn't John Wayne have afforded a better hair piece?
At the time his were considered top of the line
And rest of world is left with The Frump??? WE no better here in Australia.
Duke Wayne and Bob Hope were the best.
