Bob Hope: Salutes The Troops
Description
When it comes to worldwide coverage, Bob Hope was the greatest entertainer of the 20th century, easily moving from Broadway to radio to movies to television. TV viewers looked forward to these annual broadcasts. They enjoyed dynamite performances by Ann-Margret, Ann Jillian, Marie Osmond and others. Bob bantered and his wife, Dolores Hope, helped out. Silent Night closed each show on a solemn, heartwarming note. Despite the merriment onstage, the troupes knew this was serious business as the ominous roar of fighter jets overhead reminded them. For thousands far from home, there was no one like Hope for the holidays. A visit from Bob Hope was the best present a serviceman or servicewoman could receive short of spending Christmas with their families. Thanks to BOB HOPE: SALUTES THE TROOPS, Bob's ability to bring joy to millions is a gift that keeps on giving.
