The Bob Hope Show was one of the longest running radio programs in the history of the golden age of American radio. The serialization aired from 1935 until 1955 and is considered one the all-time greats when it comes to old time radio comedy. The Bob Hope Show shared many similarities with the Bing Crosby Show and wowed their listeners with their witty and intelligent repartee. However, whereas Crosby exuded a smooth and mellow style of delivering his deadpan jokes, Hope was a comedic wildfire that raged and blasted the audience with a barrage of jokes and non-stop laughter. Adding to the entertainment value of this series of old radio shows, Hope ensured that his guests were always interesting and persons worthy of note. This, coupled with Hope's wicked charm and rapier-ike wit ensured that The Bob Hope Show kept households doubled up with laughter for a little over two decades.
