On stage, a good vaudeville routine could last years as it was performed on tour across the country. On radio, a year's vaudeville material might be fodder for one week's broadcast. Bob Hope used new material not only for his weekly radio series, but also for the several live charity appearances he made each week. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOrganized by the stages of his life, accompanied by black-and-white photographs, this book gives readers a chance to enjoy the very best of Hope's jokes, from his early years in vaudeville, his top-rated radio show in the '30s and '40s, his legendary television appearances, and much more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bob Hope, Linda Hope\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1401300952\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781401300951\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hyperion Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/07\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.93lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 5.80w x 0.82d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/14\/2003 pg. 59\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eUSA Today\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/06\/2003 pg. 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/05\/2003","brand":"Bob Hope","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43991954555135,"sku":"9781401300951","price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ada2ebef-138e-4907-8d4b-f9ba6912788c.jpg?v=1683313204","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bob-hope-my-life-in-bob-hope-9781401300951","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
